You really believe that kind of total hyperbullshit???

By the way where in your own article is Jordan ever mentioned and for god's sake, what would be the motivation/benefit for this strong US-ally to help Saddam???

Even more I liked this part:

Quote:
The goal of the clean-up was "to erase all trace of Russian involvement" in Saddam's WMD programs, and "was a masterpiece of military camouflage and deception."
Ex-Official: Russia Moved Saddam's WMD

This would only make sense, if Soviet Union was the main supplier for Iraq's wmd- programs.

Unfortunaly Europeans and especially we Germans were heavilly involved in helping Saddam to get wmd-techology, so if there ever were a country with interest of hiding Iraqs wmd, it would have to be Germany and not the Russians.
