U.S. Trucks Carrying Radioactive Materials Intercepted In Iraq-Kuwait Border
http://www.tehrantimes.com/Description.asp?Da=6/15/2004&Cat=4&Num=020

TEHRAN (MNA) -– The UAE-based daily Al-Khaleej reported on Monday that Kuwaiti tariff officials have intercepted a truck loaded with radioactive materials in the Iraq-Kuwait border.

The daily quoted informed sources as saying that the radioactive control team from Kuwait’s Health Ministry discovered that one of the trucks belonging to the U.S.-led coalition forces was carrying heavy radioactive materials trucks. The trucks were headed for Iraq.

It seems that only the Iranian news agencies have been reporting the planting of nuclear materials in Iraq. Possibly in preparation for the October Surprise. BTW: My prediction for Bush's October Trifecta - WMDs in Iraq, UBL captured, and Saddam executed.

1. What is the score for Tehran Times?

Are their reports ever in sync with Al Jazeera?
I assume they are never in sync with CNN and Fox?

[DenverDem]

4. So, you are saying al Jazeera is wrong and faux is right?

Tehran Times wrong and Washington Times right?

This importation of WMD's has been predicted by many and should come as a suprise to none.

[peacetalksforall]

19. I don't know how you came up with that question...

I'm just asking if the Tehran Times is second-sourced by Al Jazeera (or any of the other newspapers) on this and whether they have said the same thing in the past.

Washington TImes? Moon Times? Our State-Run propaganda machine? Why bring them into it, I don't get it.

[Minstrel Boy]

8. The story was first reported by the UAE's Al-Khaleej

I read their online edition occassionally. It's solid stuff.

[NNN0LHI]

27. Tehran Times was the first news service to break the Saddam captured story

Not sure what their box score is though?

2. Interesting, but this story isn't going anywhere

If it's not published by a corporate American news organization this story will remain in the darkest corners of the internet. Sad, but that's the way it goes.

[Joanne98]

3. Slam dunk

You know they're going to try. We'll see if anybody follows this up. Maybe the Guardian.

5. oh my gawd...........nt

6. What the bloody hell?

Those effers aint going for no joy ride!

Kuwait sends back truck carrying radioactive material

10. I'm suspecting sumpin sneaky...

hmmmm...
:wtf:

[Pale_Rider]

17. I feel better already ...

... not!

Kuwaiti customs department on Thursday impounded four trucks coming from Iraq for suspicion that they were loaded with radioactive material.

... snip ...

Three of the four trucks were then released and the fourth one was sent out of Kuwait to where it came despite the US army's objections.

Sent back into Iraq? I thought it was going the other way.

[Cronus Protagonist]

18. Was Elvis in the truck?

Just wondering...

[Mnemosyne]

29. Story states trucks were From Iraq heading into Kuwait

not into Iraq as other article stated. Suppose prop for some strange reason?

[muriel_volestrangler]

30. Yes; link to original Kuwait Times story here

in a dupe thread.

9. not that I would really expect this to make sense...

...but even stumble-chimp's minions should be able to do better than this. First, the report is a bit confused and lacking in details, but more importantly, why would the U.S. try to smuggle anything into Iraq across controlled borders when they could just fly it into Baghdad airport, load it onto trucks or helicopters there, and put it where they want it without it ever leaving special op hands or their complete control of who sees it and when? This one just doesn't pass the smell test yet-- at least not until some more information emerges. The Bushco folks are way too devious to have tried it this way.

[Media_Lies_Daily]

11. Have you noticed that virtually everything touched by the NeoCons...

...has been bungled and/or exposed? The NeoCons may be "way too devious", but you can't prove it by their track record.

[Tight_rope]

13. We've got God on our side. n/t

[Hoping4Change]

22. I was just thinking of saying that very thing.

Maybe Bush has pissed off the universe and it is conspiring against him. Its wild that his dirty filthy little schemes are being outed.

[Jackpine Radical]

16. You can't know that.

We only know what they got caught doing (though God knows that's plenty), not what they did and got away with.

[MasonJar]

14. Several soldiers have written home that they have taken stuff off

ships that is suspicious and carried it inland. There is definitely going to be an Oct. surprise. Why do you think Cheney and Blair keep talking about it. If we can expose them to the US even the worst of the sheeple will have to pay attention.

[Tight_rope]

12. Well! Well! Well! This is like catching your teenage daughters..

boyfriend trying to sneak in her bedroom window. What punishment should be bestow on him?

[cal04]

15. Very first article about planting weapons

was from Nelda Rogers, written in the Daily Times, then other articles after

According to a stunning report posted by a retired Navy Lt Commander and 28-year veteran of the Defense Department (DoD), the Bush administration’s assurance about finding weapons of mass destruction in Iraq was based on a Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) plan to “plant” WMDs inside the country. Nelda Rogers, the Pentagon whistleblower, claims the plan failed when the secret mission was mistakenly taken out by “friendly fire”, the Environmentalists Against War report.

New Reports on U.S. Planting WMDs in Iraq
Fifty days after the first reports that the U.S. forces were unloading weapons of mass destruction (WMD) in southern Iraq, new reports about the movement of these weapons have been disclosed.

Sources in Iraq speculate that occupation forces are using the recent unrest in Iraq to divert attention from their surreptitious shipments of WMD into the country.


http://www.propagandamatrix.com/articles/april2004/130404plantingwmd.htm


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.

24. Noooo please - not Nelda Rogers again

This story is bunk. Many threads about that, here at DU and elsewhere. Just google for it. Nelda Rogers will also tell you the truth about the Challenger accident, because she lead the team that debriefed the NASA people.

20. well I'm not going to be suprised by that

I think that the suprise will the the massive blunting of civil liberties around BOTH conventions this summer. Then we'll all know what we're up against, and let me devotedly say violence is not the answer.

[tlcandie]

25. I have to agree! The G-8 security model and Florida's NAFTA

security model will be used during these conventions! Bubye freedom of speech!

I also agree that violence is NOT the answer!

[peacetalksforall]

21. Heard from a customer whose friend knows someone who talked to

caretaker-technicians who live in Qatar where they wait and guard stored WMD's.

edit> sorry error- fixed

[tlcandie]

26. I think I have to agree with you on the Trifecta along with

our right to freedom of speech being SHARPLY diminished at both conventions this fall with the G-8 and Florida NAFTA security models being used against our own citizens to prevent us from protesting!

31. depleted uranium ammunition...?

Everyone seems to forget this is the ammo of choice for short and long term damage to the "enemy"

[trogdor]

34. DU is used for anti-tank ammo.

It's really heavy, so it punches holes in armor really well. I've never heard of DU being used for small-arms ammo or anything like that.

[Democracy Died 2004]

35. No no no

Depleted Uranium is for hard targets.. Due to the cost it would be a waste on soft targets. Last I heard Iraq's tanks do not exist anymore and they haven't used DU for any offensive in long time so a resupply would seem strange also..I really think this one is bogus though.. The only way they would get by with it if the uranium came from Israel.. All other deposits of the stuff is easily identified right down to the batch numbers, date manufactured, quantity etc... However no one really has a clue on the Israeli stuff.

32. yep - trying like hell for that October Surprise
