U.S. intelligence suspects Iraq's weapons of mass
destruction have finally been located.
Unfortunately, getting to them will be nearly
impossible for the United States and its allies,
because the containers with the strategic materials
are not in Iraq.
Instead they are located in Lebanon's
heavily-fortified Bekaa Valley, swarming with Iranian
and Syrian forces, and Hizbullah and ex-Iraqi agents,
Geostrategy-Direct.com will report in Wednesday's new
weekly edition.
U.S. intelligence first identified a stream of
tractor-trailer trucks moving from Iraq to Syria to
Lebaon in January 2003. The significance of this
sighting did not register on the CIA at the time.
U.S. intelligence sources believe the area contains
extended-range Scud-based missiles and parts for
chemical and biological warheads. Mutually-lucrative
Iraqi-Syrian arms transactions are nothing new. Firas
Tlas, son of Syrian Defense Minister Mustafa Tlas, has
been the key to Syria's rogue alliance with Iraq. He
and Assad made hundreds of millions of dollars selling
weapons, oil and drugs to and from Iraq, according to
the May 13, 2003 edition of Geostrategy-Direct.com.
The CIA now believes a multi-million dollar deal
between Iraq and Syria provided for the hiding and
safekeeping of Saddam's strategic weapons.
Not surprisingly, U.S. inquiries in Beirut and Syria
are being met with little substantive response, U.S.
officials said.
