TEHRAN (Mehr News Agency) – 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.

The source said that in order to avoid suspicion, ordinary cargo ships were used to download the cargo, which consisted of weapons produced in the 1980s and 1990s.

He mentioned the fact that the United States had facilitated Iraq’s WMD program during the 1980-1988 Iran-Iraq and said that some of the weapons being downloaded are similar to those weapons, although international inspectors had announced Saddam Hussein’s Baath regime had destroyed all its WMD.

The source went on to say that the rest of the weapons were probably transferred in vans to an unknown location somewhere in the vicinity of Basra overnight.

“Most of these weapons are of Eastern European origin and some parts are from the former Soviet Union and the Eastern Bloc. The U.S. obtained them through confiscations during sales of banned arms over the past two decades,” he said.

This action comes as certain U.S. and Western officials have been pointing out the fact that no weapons of mass destruction have been discovered in Iraq and the issue of Saddam’s trial begins to take center stage.

In addition, former chief UN weapons inspector Hans Blix has emphasized that the U.S. and British intelligence agencies issued false reports on Iraq leading to the U.S. attack.

Meanwhile, the suspicious death of weapons inspector David Kelly is also an unresolved issue in Britain.

------Occupation Forces Official Claims to Have No Information About Transfer of WMD to Iraq -------

A security official for the coalition forces in Iraq said that he has not received any information about the unloading of weapons of mass destruction in ports in southern Iraq.

Shane Wolf told the Mehr News Agency that the occupation forces have received no reports on such events, but said he hoped that the coalition forces would find the Iraqi weapons of mass destruction one day.

Coalition forces and inspectors have so far been unable to find any Iraqi weapons of mass destruction. The U.S. invaded Iraq under the pretext that Iraq possessed a stockpile of weapons of mass destruction.

35% of Americans with this charade, the dumbest ones. And they were going to vote for him anyway.

God, I hope most democrats don't trust the STATE paper of a repressive Islamo/Fascist government as a legitimate news source.
:eyes:
This sort of crap makes us look bad.

I have more faith in the ME news sources than the US ones that spew billage from the pentagon.

"I trust the state media of islamofascist state dictatorships more than CNN"

my god...

like this?

As opposed to the well-documented lies of the bush regime...

kick kick

While I know that it's entirely possible or likely that an attempt to plant WMD would be made, understand that other governments use the same deceiptful tactics as our own.

I just finished Richard Clarke's book 'Against All Enemies.'

He outlines the 25 year war between the US Oiligarchy and Iran's religious warriors who supported and allied with what became known as al Queda, a very widespread regional movement against infidels and anglo-imperialism.

The US has been trying to undermine the Iranian gov't and vice-versa for a long, long time.
