Weapons of Mass Destruction being shipped into Iraq

Various reports suggest that the missing weapons of mass destruction are likely to be 'found' in the near future as shipments arrive been unloaded in Iraq by US forces.

On March 13th, the Tehran Times reported that in the wake of the bombings in Karbala US forces were unloading Weapons of Mass Destruction at ports in southern Iraq. The report goes on to say that these weapons were produced in the 1980/90s and are similar to those which international weapons inspectors announced had been destroyed.

New reports from a source close to the authorities in Basra say that they are being transported by the Maeresk shipping company in the guise of Red Cross or USAID consignments and are being moved into position whilst the world is distracted by the uprising in Fallujah. Some early reports from inside Iraq about the four US mercenaries killed and burned on Fallujah bridge strongly indicated that they had been deliberately placed in harms way which might support this claim.

Although I share your concern ~I don't think it's wise to rely on the Tehran Times for unbiased information. The majority of the insurgency in Iraq is now being co-ordinated by Iranian backed groups and in some cases by Iranian nationals on the ground.

Yes, of course I agree. The main purpose of publishing this on the newswire was to put it on record that these reports were made. Should WMDs magically appear in the next few weeks or indeed the run up to the US presidential election it would shed a bit of light.

Although much less likely, if this is true and it becomes known widely enough it may head off the plan to plant the evidence.

The article in question popped up over a week ago. however, i read in the mirror a few days later that bLIAR may hold a snap election in oct/nov. is this a coincidence or what. id wager it highly likely that something (missiles, plutonium, osamas body) miraculously turns up before november.

True or False, they've either had to be there! which means meddling in Iraq. Or the others could have told them, which again means they have spies in Iraq!

I don't suppose the british agenst there have told them to publish this; afterall they have aljazira and arabic news. Unless...
