The diligent crew over at MEMRI (Middle East Media Research Institute) has brought us yet another insightful video out of the Arab world. New footage has emerged out of Libya featuring stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction. The following are excerpts from a report on the uncovered WMD’s that aired on Alaan TV December 11. The anchor opens the segment by saying that the Libyan army discovered “stockpiles of mustard gas, nerve gas, as well as plant for their production” in the Al-Rawagha and Sokna regions.
“Large underground storage places were also found in the area, containing huge amounts of ammunition and missiles.”
MEMRI provides the report and translation. A transcript follows:
Reporter: This exclusive footage we received from the Libyan Defense Ministry shows tanks of mustard gas and nerve gas, which were discovered following the collapse of the Qadhafi regime.
Muhammad Hadiya, head of ammunition and armament in the Libyan Defense Ministry: New depositories were found near the city of Sokna. These depositories contain internationally prohibited gases. Libyan and UN experts took control of them. The depositories are currently held by the Libyan experts, under the control of the Libyan forces and the relevant UN organizations.
Reporter: The Qadhafi regime did not disclose the existence of these depositories when it decided to hand over its chemical weapons to the IAEA. They contain the internationally prohibited gas and nerve gas.
Muhammad Hadiya: In the region of Al-Rawagha, there are stockpiles of ammunition for weapons used on land, air, and sea, as well as huge amounts of the basic components used in the production of mustard gas and nerve gas. These barrels have a capacity of 10,000 liters. In addition, a plant was established for the production of mustard gas and nerve gas, in the same area, south of the depositories. Two of the bunkers served for the basic production.
Reporter: In this region of Al-Rawagha, in south Libya, the Libyan army found these large underground caches in the mountains. The Qadhafi regime buried these stockpiles for reasons known to it alone. These large storerooms contain a wide variety of weapons, and the Libyan army guarantees that they will remain in safe hands, and will not find their way to any terrorist group.
Muhammad Hadiya: We assure the whole world that all this ammunition is well-guarded and is in safe hands, and that the Libyan army and the rebel forces are in control.
Reporter: The areas of Al-Rawagha and Sokna are controlled by the Libyan army. These were among the largest stockpiles of internationally prohibited weapons held by the Qadhafi regime.
Suffice it to say, many probably feel anything but safe knowing that WMD’s are in the “safe hands” of Libyan rebel forces.

Posted on December 15, 2011 at 12:22amObama’s INTERVENTION war in Libya, the country that sent the most jihadists, has now led to the “rebels” obtaining chemical weapons. These “rebels” are known to be associated with al-Qaeda because they were the jihadists killing our soldiers in Iraq. Is INTERVENTION great…..
To those saying this is proof of Bush‘s WMD’s of Iraq: we did not go into Iraq looking for Mustard gas. We went to Iraq for “yellow cake” and to prevent a “mushroom cloud”, remember?
Also, please not from the article this sentence:
“The anchor opens the segment by saying that the Libyan army discovered “stockpiles of mustard gas, nerve gas, as well as plant for their production” in the Al-Rawagha and Sokna regions.”
A plant for production was found in Libya.
Intervention is a failed policy. Iraq is proof and so is Libya.
Obama supports intervention, Bush supported intervention. Both are progressive. Intervention is progressive foreign policy………

Obama should have had the downed drone blown up, but didn’t for a lame excuse. He doesn’t mind sending SEALS into Pakistan in the wee hours of the morning to execute bin Laden, but doesn’t dare do a quick bomb drop on our drone and exit quickly?). Why haven’t they installed a backup on the drone. Maybe, if drone goes down like this one did, it is automatically blown up within 1 min!

We went in looking for NBC, biological and chemical weapons were the main reasons, as well as mobile chemical weapons labs on trucks, missile manufacturing in excess of UN limitations, continued violations of no fly zone and military engagements with NATO jets, not to mention the assassination squad sent after GHW Bush. There were many reasons we went into Iraq, not just yellow cake.

False. What main reason was argued in front of the UN security council to go into Iraq? What reason was given before the American people for going into Iraq? To prevent a “mushroom cloud”.
We looked for every reason possible to go into Iraq including chemical weapons and defiance of our imposed “no fly zone” but none of them would stick. The only one that did was the play on the fear of a “mushroom cloud”.
The whole point was to “spread democracy” and the Bush admin knew the American people would never back regime change unless the American people had something to fear in order to do so. It was simply Intervention just like Obama’s intervention in Libya. It is the same exact policy.
We can argue all day about the legitimacy to Intervene in Iraq or not but for some to try and vindicate the reason for doing so over a production lab found in Libya is ludicrous.

You are being dishonest and here is why: If you check into this, you’ll quickly find that the uranium a) was not weapons grade and b) was well known to the UN and IAEA and was being stored legally by Saddam’s government. It was legally in Iraq according to international law.
This was pre ‘91 material that was harmless and never could have been turned into a “mushroom cloud” as Saddam did not have the technology to weaponize it. This is why the Bush Admin tried to tie Saddam to getting weapon grade from Uganda in order to invade Iraq that was not there.

In Bush’s 2003 State of Union Address: The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa.
12/14/05 interview with Brit Hume
BUSH: I said I made the right decision. Knowing what I know today, I would have still made that decision.
HUME: So, if you had had this — if the weapons had been out of the equation because the intelligence did not conclude that he had them, it was still the right call?
BUSH: Absolutely.
October 8 2004
Bush:”Iraq did not have the weapons that our intelligence believed were there.”
For his part, Cheney dismissed the significance of Duelfer’s central findings, telling supporters in Miami: “The headlines all say, ‘No weapons of mass destruction stockpiled in Baghdad.’ We already knew that.”

You don’t have to “always believed” that Saddam had WMD’s, it’s a proven fact he had them. Nobody disputes he had them and used them many times against Iran and his own people. Now we know where they went before the war. You can bet there are some in Syria as well. Now they are in the hands of other mad men. We should demand they give them over to us, but this president doesn’t have the balls to do that, so we will see those WMD’s used somewhere soon, no doubt.

Liberals are still in denial over the whole WMD situation, but one day this stuff is going to be flying all over the place and then people who have claimed never were any WMDs over there will all look pretty stupid. This stuff is going to end up in rockets flying into israel, and when that happens Israel will be justified retaliating with nuclear weapons.

Posted on December 15, 2011 at 5:04am@Phil65
Well let us be totally honest shall we. Iraq did have chemical weapons during the ‘80’s in their war with Iran. Oddly, the US (Reagan) removed Iraq from the terrorist list enabling trade with Iraq which helped them produce such chemical weapons. The agency (CIA) then worked with Iraq by giving Iraq targets in Iran to use such weapons on.
After the first gulf war (early ‘90’s), Iraq was sanctioned and forced to allow inspectors in to assist and watch over destruction of such chemicals. Saddam went back and forth with letting inspectors in as well moving his stockpiles and eventually inspectors believed most of Saddam’s stockpiles were depleted though small amounts were thought to still remain.
We did not go into Iraq for mustard gas. We went into Iraq to prevent a “mushroom cloud” as said on the floor of the UN by Powell. We truthfully went into Iraq because we wanted Saddam removed and to implement “democracy”.
We wore chemical gear because of fears Saddam might use the thought remaining chemicals against us which did not ever happen.
As for Libya, due recall we had our inspectors in Libya from Dec ‘03-05 at least and many stockpiles of chemicals were destroyed but inspectors believed some locations were not disclosed.
As for Syria, they have had chemical weapons since the ‘70’s when Egypt (US “friend”) taught them how to make it.
Report Post »Okie from Muskogee
Posted on December 15, 2011 at 5:13amSyria has four known production facilities of chemical weapons and one of the largest stockpiles to this day.
Libya and or Syria had no reason to risk leading us to their hidden stockpiles by accepting Saddam’s in. Trying to tie these to Saddam’s is a major major stretch and a great imagination. You’d make a better argument with Syria but that too would flounder in the face of logic, reason and fact.
With constant surveillance over Iraq thru a “no fly zone” since the 1st gulf war it is highly unlikely Saddam sent such weapons to Syria without our knowing it and even more unlikely such weapons were sent to Libya across the Sea that we also have a presence in.
If Saddam knew we were coming in to get him, which he did, and he had chemical weapons to use, why would he send them to another Nation and not use them to stop us from coming after him……If you were Saddam and knew your days were numbered, wouldn’t you….

It must suck to be as miserable as you. Always so rude and disrespectful. Oh well.
Nope didn‘t see any yellow cake cause it wasn’t there. And very small amounts of Chemicals were found. Very tiny amounts.
No one is afraid of defending our country. The war in Iraq, both times, were not conducted to defend America. To say they were is a lie and as a soldier you should find some honor and integrity and be honest about it. Both wars were for the Saudi’s.
What you fail to admit is YOU and OBAMA both support INTERVENTION. You support the same policy as the left as seen in Libya. Intervention=Progressive foreign policy and shows once again you are a progressive just as your support for Government to tell us all how to live, how to conduct business etc did as well.
Only cowards lie about the views they hold. This simple picture will show whom the lefty is, YOU.

Posted on December 15, 2011 at 7:55amJuly 5, 2008 550 Metric tons of yellow cake were removed from Iraq to Canada, by US Forces. The Yellow cake was discovered in 2003 after the US led invasion of Iraq. Stop with the denials.

You are being dishonest and here is why: If you check into this, you’ll quickly find that the uranium a) was not weapons grade and b) was well known to the UN and IAEA and was being stored legally by Saddam’s government. It was legally in Iraq according to international law.
This was pre ‘91 material that was harmless and never could have been turned into a “mushroom cloud” as Saddam did not have the technology to weaponize it. This is why the Bush Admin tried to tie Saddam to getting weapon grade from Uganda in order to invade Iraq that was not there…

Posted on December 15, 2011 at 7:32pm> OPIE. Lmao as usual. I feel comfortable in knowing that judgements regarding my honor and integrity have proven to be on the positive side over my long Military career… you don’t have to worry about that one. Lol.
I’ve detested Libertarians and Paul supporters for a very long time. And you know what clinched it for me? When I read about the hundreds upon hundreds of Paul and even Bob Barr supporters on the internet (read many, many myself) who decided to forgo their wonderlust of Paul and the other “also ran”, for one reason and one reason alone… to vote for Obama because of his Liberal anti-war and anti-Military stances. Just for THAT alone I have absolutely NO respect for a damn thing any of you say regardless of whether you in particular OPIE voted for Obama or not. The facts about supposed Paul supporters speak for themselves time and time again and in many different scenerios and situations.
I have a feeling thousands upon thousands of Paul supporters actually cast a vote for Obama in 2008 and when you “other leftists” ramble on about what you’ve read and what you think you know (just like the Obama leftists) in regards to WMD, the strategic reasons for going to Iraq, and what we are now NOT strategically doing in that region with the poorly planned Obama campaign promise departure… one can only wonder when and where your cabooses seperated from the common sense train.

I was on an “Oathkeeper’s blog yesterday. They had a breaking news story that US and NATO forces were building a “Command Center” just inside Jordan, on the Jordan Syrian Border, we totally need to pray for our forces, they may not be home long, the report said military equipment was being flown out of Iraq & into Jordan.
