* The Washington Times: The fall of Assad may solve the mystery of Iraq’s weapons
Revealed a prominent leader of the Syrian opposition in remarks addressed to the newspaper “The Washington Times,” the U.S. that, in the fall of the regime of President Bashar al-Assad, the U.S. would be in a better position to unravel the mysteries of questions relating to shipment of the components of weapons of mass destruction, sent by Baghdad Elysoeria before the U.S. invasion of the country in 2003. He said this shows that the construction of a new secular democracy in Syria will allow foreign inspectors to survey and ensure the destruction of what is believed to be one of the largest stores of chemical weapons in the Middle East.
The artificial spy satellites had detected a large number of truck convoys moving from Iraq to Syria in the weeks that preceded the invasion of Iraq in 2003, which raised doubts about carrying some of these trucks for weapons of mass destruction.
However, U.S. forces can not never find the stores of such weapons in Iraq, despite the ongoing inspection by the Iraqi Survey Group over two years.
A result that prompted the political left, and then to attack President George W. Bush with slogans, such as those that said “Bush lied, soldiers died”, but people from non-party workers in the national security made it clear that there is evidence to suggest that perhaps the materials were transferred to Syria.
In a related development, is now working Zuhdi Jasser, an American doctor of Syrian origin, co-founded the group called “Save Syria now,” for the election of a secular government in Damascus.
He said that the Assad regime, which involves the brutal repression to stay in power, could collapse within a year, if you reach the uprising to the capital.
He said in the context of his remarks made by the newspaper: “I think as far as making sure the information I have that there is a phase-year-transparent weapons of mass destruction.”
And is now an emerging group known as the “Syrian Democratic Coalition,” prepare a pledge by members of the pro-democracy. “
“It” is based on the fact many of us they will not protect any existing arsenals of weapons there, and would allow a change is transparent, which will make them welcome in the international community, not merely swap the fascist government another government operates according to the system itself. And must be disposed of chemical weapons, Syria is part of the phase transition. “
All this comes at a time when research groups indicate that the Assad regime retains large quantities of chemical weapons, including mustard gas. Prior to Iraq at one stage he was in possession of large quantities of chemical weapons, which he used in an attack on Iran and the Iraqi Kurds.
After the Gulf War in 1991, the United Nations inspectors destroyed large caches of these weapons, but U.S. intelligence agencies had always believed that Saddam Hussein retained some weapons, due to the efforts carried out by his regime in order to dodge and disrupt the United Nations inspectors.
The commander of U.S. Air Force James Clapper, who is now one of the most prominent American intelligence officers, among the first people who have already suspected in the presence of a link between Iraq and Syria.
He told the “Washington Times” in 2003 that U.S. satellites have documented the passage of waves of trucks from Iraq into Syria.
The same feelings of uncertainty crept into the Iraqi Survey Group, an organization that was formed from members of the Pentagon and the CIA to search for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
In 2005, the Charles Duelfer, who headed the team, that the investigators who were working with him and found evidence of “credible enough” show that the materials and components of weapons of mass destruction had been moved from Iraq to Syria.
Despite the recognition of the Duelfer then they did not specify whether Syria had received those military components just to keep them or for other reasons, but made it clear that senior Iraqi officials, who were being held at the time, they denied any knowledge of the transfer of weapons of mass destruction to Syria.
As suspected Israeli and Western intelligence that the Assad regime in Syria also has membership of phosphate compounds.
