Julie Levesque: Fabricating WMD "Evidence"

Israeli Covert Operation inside Syria to Track Chemical Arsenal. Israel is conducting a covert cross border operation directed against Syria in liaison with NATO and the Pentagon. After looking for a smoking gun in Iran earlier this year, Israeli special forces are now tracking Syria's stocks of chemical and biological weapons, according to The Sunday Times. "The cross border operation is part of a secret war to trail Syria's non conventional armaments and sabotage their development. For years we have known the exact location of Syria's chemical and biological munitions, an Israeli source said, referring to the country's spy satellites and drones, but in the past week we've got signs that munitions have been moved to new locations.

It turned out that the Iraqi WMD threat was an outright fabrication. Those involved in the Iraq WMD propaganda ploy are now applying their skills with a view to fabricating a WMD pretext to intervene in Syria. According to a report from the Jaffee Center for Strategic Studies at Tel Aviv University, Israeli's misread the Iraqi threat. In 2003, the BBC wrote on the reports findings: Israeli intelligence miscalculated the threat posed by Saddam Hussein. This contributed to the "false" picture painted by US and British services. "Israeli intelligence was a full partner with the US and Britain in developing a false picture of Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction capability," said the author of the report, retired Brigadier General Shlomo Brom. "It badly overestimated the Iraqi threat to Israel and reinforced the American and British belief that the weapons existed." "From now on, when we present serious data on other countries, like Iran for example, who will treat us seriously?" Israel Radio quoted Israeli left wing parliamentarian Yossi Sarid as saying. Israelis misread Iraqi threat, BBC, December 5, 2003. In late March 2012 The Sunday Times reported that Israel is using a permanent base in Iraqi Kurdistan to launch cross border intelligence missions in an attempt to find smoking gun evidence that Iran is building a nuclear warhead.
