U.S. Unloading WMD in Iraq

TEHRAN (Mehr News Agency) – Over the past few days, in the wake of the bombings in Karbala and the ideological disputes that delayed the signing of Iraq’s interim constitution, there have been reports that U.S. forces have unloaded a large cargo of parts for constructing long-range missiles and weapons of mass destruction (WMD) in the southern ports of Iraq.

A reliable source from the Iraqi Governing Council, speaking on condition of anonymity, told the Mehr News Agency that U.S. forces, with the help of British forces stationed in southern Iraq, had made extensive efforts to conceal their actions.

He added that the cargo was unloaded during the night as attention was still focused on the aftermath of the deadly bombings in Karbala and the signing of Iraq’s interim constitution.

The source went on to say that the rest of the weapons were probably transferred in vans to an unknown location somewhere in the vicinity of Basra overnight.

“Most of these weapons are of Eastern European origin and some parts are from the former Soviet Union and the Eastern Bloc. The U.S. obtained them through confiscations during sales of banned arms over the past two decades,” he said.

2. Wish there was something from our media...

Either confirmation or concrete refutation by our limp media.

They ALL have people in Iraq who could investigate these claims ON THE GROUND.

Our media SUCKS.

[whistle]

3. So this has not been reported, confirmed....

...or disputed anywhere in the U.S. or other credible foreign media? If this is a fabrication it should be investigated. If it's a smoke screen by the Iraqi press to cover their own butts then that needs to be brought out as well. This is way too important an issue to just let it linger as rumors, IMHO.:tinfoilhat:
