Saddam's Secret Tapes
By Sharon Hughes | February 17, 2006
In 1992 tremendous efforts were made in Iraq to rebuild electric
stations outside of Basra to divert power in order to build two
different types of nuclear weapons, one called a 'special bomb'
by Hussein.
Bill Tierney, a former military intelligence officer and an
UNSCOM weapons inspector in Iraq from 1996-1998, told Fox News'
Hannity & Colmes on Thursday, February 16th, that Saddaem Hussein
was heavily involved with terrorism, and that translations of 12
of the dictator's 'secret tapes' recorded at his palace office,
reveal he talked about attacks that were coming to Washington DC.
The tapes have been confirmed by U.S. officials as being
authentic.
According to Tierney, he was contacted by the National Virtual
Translation Center, which is run by the FBI, to translate the
tapes which reveal, among other things, conversations between
Saddam Hussein and Deputy Prime Minister Tarik Aziz about
terrorist attacks on America via missiles, and chemical and
biological weapons of mass destruction.
On one of the tapes Tariq Aziz told Saddam:
"The biological [attack] is very easy to make. It's so simple
that any biologist can make a bottle of germs and drop it into a
water tower and kill 100,000. This is not done by a state. No
need to accuse a state. An individual can do it."
The two also talked about their need for help from Brazil, France
and Russia.
Tapes dated August 1995 reveal one of Saddam's sons-in-law,
Hussein Kamel, explaining how Iraq hid its biological weapons
program from U.N. inspectors:
"We did not reveal all that we have. We did not reveal the
volume of chemical weapons we had produced."
Kamel also said Iraq had not revealed:
"the type of weapons, nor the volume of the materials we
imported."
Alan Colmes said on the above mentioned broadcast, that WMD did
not exist in Iraq when the U.S. went to war, because David Kay
said they were destroyed in 1998 with the bombing ordered by Bill
Clinton, to which Tierney said:
"I'm so happy you said that. I was on the targeting shop at
CENTCOM. Alright? I'm gonna tell you something: Before we went in
there, the Iraqis moved all their equipment out, except for a few
massive machines that they couldn't move. That four days of
bombing was a joke. They rebuilt everything."
In 1992 tremendous efforts were made in Iraq to rebuild electric
stations outside of Basra to divert power in order to build two
different types of nuclear weapons, one called a 'special bomb'
by Hussein.
Rep. Pete Hoekstra, R-Mich, Chairman of the House Intelligence
Committee, says the tapes show, "Saddam had a fixation on weapons
of mass destruction and he had a fixation on hiding what he was
doing from U.N. inspectors."
It will be fascinating to watch the frenzy as the MSM and liberal
politicians try to put their spin on what's revealed in these
tapes in the weeks to come. Rush Limbaugh has predicted that
everyone associated with the tapes will be 'discredited' because
what's on them is so damaging to the liberal "no WMD" mantra. But
I believe the majority of Americans will not buy the spin.

50% of U.S. households own a gun but few people ever practice
with them. Your gun is not a lucky rabbit's foot that will bestow
protection on you, just by keeping it around. If you own one, you
have a moral obligation to yourself to learn safety, get training
and learn how to use it, then stay in practice so you don't
forget and get rusty. Take as much training as you can afford and
practice regularly. After all, you are the militia.
