Iraq's arsenal of weapons of mass destruction was not captured by US forces who heroically brought down Saddam Hussein's regime three years ago this week. It vanished before they arrived.
Israeli intelligence reported before the US-led invasion that starting in late summer 2002 Saddam's WMD arsenal was shipped by truck convoy to Syria. Recently, documents seized from Iraq after the fall of the regime were released to the public. Those documents revealed that under the direct command of former Russian prime minister and KGB boss Yevgeny Primakov, Russian Spetnaz forces oversaw the transfer of Iraq's WMD to Syria ahead of the US-led invasion. These reports have been corroborated by Saddam's Air Vice Marshall General Georges Sada.

So rather than being destroyed or secured, Saddam's WMD arsenal was simply moved from one rogue regime with intimate ties to terror organizations to another rogue regime with intimate ties to terror organizations.

Of course, American Media will NOT report this, it will prove Bush right, and then they would look stupid.

When News Lies


WHEN NEWS LIES
Media Complicity and The Iraq War


By Danny Schechter, The News Dissector



A new book from Danny Schechter offers an up to date indictment of the role media played in promoting and misreporting the war on Iraq. It is an analysis of how and why the media got it wrong that pinpoints the failures of journalism and the collusion of media companies with the Bush Administration. The author of EMBEDDED: Weapons of Mass Deception (Prometheus 2003), an account of the TV coverage of the US invasion, returns with a more comprehensive, updated and insider look at the media complicity that Schechter argues "made the war possible."



"Most of the anti-war movement focused on the crimes of the Bush Administration ignoring the mainstream media, its far more effective accomplice," says former network producer Danny Schechter (ABC, CNN). "The government orchestrated the war while the media marketed it. You couldn't have one without the other."



WHEN NEWS LIES includes the feature -length DVD of the prize-winning film WMD (Weapons of Mass Deception). The book will also include the complete script as well as a discussion of the challenges of exposing media with media with a documentary. It chronicles the media war fought alongside the military campaign and the struggle to stand up for truth.

Save for the 500 shells of degraded serin gas that were around since before the Persian Gulf War of 1991, none of the WMDs that the Bush administration claimed that Saddam Hussein had have been found. All the theories that they might have been moved have been unfounded and yet to be proven.

I don't know on a year to year basis, but so far 500 total. You can argue that they are degraded, but the chemicals were still very deadly, and only SOME of them were degraded. Also, Saddam said he didn't have these weapons and he obviously did. This is one thing we went over there to find and we did.

Also, when Libs hold up a war such as the one in Iraq as they did in the beginning, it gives countries like Russia plenty of time to take and hide other weapons of mass destruction.

One more thing, for the UN inspectors... could this be the ones that weren't allowed in before we invaded???

--------------------------------------------------------------
I keep seeing "none." I could have said just 500 or even 1 million if I wanted as all KINDS of weapons have been found, but not all were WMD's.

SOMEONE PLEASE SUPPORT THEIR THEORY.

None is not true nor is it a fact. It is only what 3 years of Liberal propaganda has wanted everyone to believe.

For Gods sake people don't you ever read the newspapers or history books???

Iraq used Chemical weapons on the Iranians during their 9 year border war. Iraq used them again on the Kurds as well. They also had a nuclear plant that was being built for weapons development when Israel bombed it in late 1980.

Whatever they had, it was moved to Syria!

What they had in their inventory they would use on a weaker military or force. They wouldn't use WMD on us because it would get very very very ugly for them.

Absoltively posolutely zero.

There have not been ANY that have been found. (Conveniently, that is what the UN weapons inspectors said BEFORE the war started, but way to go people for listening to em)

Why does it even matter at this point? The war against Islamic extremism must be fought anyway. You cannot run and hide.
