The Passage of Time, History and recent events in Iraq, have proved beyond any shadow of a doubt, that British Prime Minister Tony Blair and the US President George W Bush, were both right and authorized to order the Liberation of Iraq in 2003., on the Intelligence and Information that was available at the time, and the factual and moral certainty that Iraq President Saddam Hussein had amassed Weapons of Mass Destruction, Chemical and Biological, which he intended to use on his Middle East Neighbors and the Jewish State.
That specialized Intelligence that Blair and Bush acted upon was well founded as outlined by the Butler Review, and that both Blair and Bush acted in good faith and with moral rectitude, to eliminate the Global threat posed by the Dictator Saddam Hussein’s Biological Weapons to the Whole of Humanity. That no Weapons of Mass Destruction{WMD) were ever found in Iraq after the Liberation of the Oppressed Country, was down to one fact, and one fact alone, and that was that Saddam has spirited away his WMD’s and Biological Weapons to the Bekaa Valley, and which were then subsequently transferred to Bashar Assad’s Regime in Syria.
” WMD</a>DEBKAfile went back to its most reliable intelligence sources in the US and the Middle East, some of whom were actively involved in the subject before and during the Iraq war. They all stuck to their guns. As they have consistently informed DEBKAfile and DEBKA-Net-Weekly , Saddam Hussein’s unconventional weapons programs were present on the eve of the American-led invasion and quantities of forbidden materials were spirited out to Syria. Whatever Dr. Kay may choose to say now, at least one of these sources knows at first hand that the former ISG director received dates, types of vehicles and destinations covering the transfers of Iraqi WMD to Syria.Indeed the US administration and its intelligence agencies, as well as Dr Kay, were all provided with Syrian maps marked with the coordinates of the secret weapons storage sites. The largest one is located at Qaratshuk at the heart of a desolate and unfrequented region edged with marshes, south of the Syrian town of Al Qamishli near the place where the Iraqi, Syrian and Turkish frontiers converge; smaller quantities are hidden in the vast plain between Al Qamishli and Az Zawr, and a third is under the ground of the Lebanese Beqaa Valley on the Syrian border.These transfers were first revealed by DEBKAfile and DEBKA-Net-Weekly in February 2003 a month before the war. We also discovered that a Syrian engineering corps unit was detailed to dig their hiding places in northern Syria and the Lebanese Beqaa “.
Recent events in Syria where the Assad Regime has used WMD, Chemical and Biological Weapons to murder and maim 300,000 of their own Syrian people bear witness to this, as confirmed by the UN and other International Observer Agencies and which were highly likely and probable to have been taken from the Hidden Saddam Hussein Weapons of Mass Destruction Stockpile, is tangible corroborative proof, causal linkage and material evidence which vindicates and legally firewalls both Tony Blair and George W Bush from any collateral damage and fall out from the impending Chilcot Inquiry into Iraq
