Monday, October 18, 2004 Duelfer: 'A lot of material left Iraq and went to Syria' WMD made the trip to Syria? I took a lot of flak when I jumped the gun after the thrwarted chemical attack on Amman from Syrian al-Qaeda elements earlier this April. I made the claim then that this was conclusive evidence that Saddam's WMD program had made the trip to Syria and into the hands of al-Qaeda, especially after King Abdullah of Jordan publically renounced the idea that he believed the WMDs came from Syria. Now it seems as if Charles Duelfer, the man in charge of the Iraq Survey Group, not only is not ruling out the possibility of WMD transfers to Syria, but also confirms that large amounts of material went to Syria shortly before the March 2003 liberation: Duelfer, an adviser to the CIA, said at the Oct. 6 hearing that a large amount of material had been transferred by Iraq to Syria before the March 2003 war. "A lot of materials left Iraq and went to Syria," Duelfer said. "There was certainly a lot of traffic across the border points. We've got a lot of data to support that, including people discussing it. But whether in fact in any of these trucks there was WMD-related materials, I cannot say." The Iraq Survey Group, headed by Duelfer, said Russia, Syria, Jordan and other arms suppliers were paid from Iraqi oil revenues. My question is why the major networks aren't reporting this? I've said it once, I'll say it again. Iraq had WMD, and that WMD is in Syria. No question in my mind. posted by Shaun Kenney \| 10/18/2004 02:24:00 PM \| 0 comments 0 Comments: Post a Comment Home
