:shrug:

Too bad for them.

1. If accurate....

Mossad presence in Iraq will only fuel the fire of the Islamic revolt.

4. I believe they also fueled the invasion from the git-go.

Apparently, through the Office of Special Plans. I suspect that US laws and regularions may have been breached by the sloppy security procedures, etc.

In fact, the scam behind the forged yellowcake docs has yet to be revealed, although I understand that a grand jury is looking into that. And there are a few intel items, particularly with the Brits, where an 'unnamed third country' is the convenient corroboration.

Come to think of it, the forged docs may be too amateurish for the Mossad. The farm team, perhaps?

5. Correct...too amateurish for Mossad

Mossad is good at what they do. They wouoldn't make that kind of clumsy mistake.

My suspicion is that the info came from one of the so-called "Saddam Insiders" who have been mentioned so much recently and was passed to a third country for increased credibility.

8. Israel had its own equivalent of the OSP

As reported in this Nation article from June 19, 2003:

"According to the former official, also feeding information to the Office of Special Plans was a secret, rump unit established last year in the office of Prime Minister Ariel Sharon of Israel. This unit, which paralleled Shulsky's--and which has not previously been reported--prepared intelligence reports on Iraq in English (not Hebrew) and forwarded them to the Office of Special Plans. It was created in Sharon's office, not inside Israel's Mossad intelligence service, because the Mossad--which prides itself on extreme professionalism--had views closer to the CIA's, not the Pentagon's, on Iraq. This secretive unit, and not the Mossad, may well have been the source of the forged documents purporting to show that Iraq tried to purchase yellowcake uranium for weapons from Niger in West Africa, according to the former official."

10. Don't blame the Mossad for the OSP.

That's a coproduction of the Bush Administration and Chalabi's Iraqi National Congress. That's where I'd lay the blame for the forged yellowcake docs as well. Time will tell, though...

[DulceDecorum]

11. A breakthrough,

we are now permitted to blame Bush for something.
As for the Iraqi National Congress, are they not a direct fabrication of the Rendon Group who were hired by Poppy Bush to create a US puppet-regime alternative to Saddam?

I am glad that we are allowed to blame the Bush family for some of our collective woes,

2. Well ....

The Israeli's need fuel, so why not steal it ( with the aid and abettance of the US stooges in Iraq ) ???

The primary thrust into Iraq was compelled by Likudnik interests in the US .... the PNAC/AEI/JINSA/AIPAC cabal .... They intend to run a pipeline through Jordam and into Israel: whether the Iraqi people like it or not ...

I suppose the invasion and occupation of a sovereign state for the primary purpose of the subjugation of its people and the forced extraction of precious materials from that state doesnt strike the Likudniks as being amoral ....

Fancy that ...

9. Israel seeks pipeline for Iraqi oil - Guardian article

Israel seeks pipeline for Iraqi oil

US discusses plan to pump fuel to its regional ally and solve energy headache at a stroke

Ed Vuillamy in Washington
Sunday April 20, 2003
The Observer

Plans to build a pipeline to siphon oil from newly conquered Iraq to Israel are being discussed between Washington, Tel Aviv and potential future government figures in Baghdad.

The plan envisages the reconstruction of an old pipeline, inactive since the end of the British mandate in Palestine in 1948, when the flow from Iraq's northern oilfields to Palestine was re-directed to Syria.

<snip>

The paper quotes Paritzky as saying that the pipeline would cut Israel's energy bill drastically - probably by more than 25 per cent - since the country is currently largely dependent on expensive imports from Russia.

US intelligence sources confirmed to The Observer that the project has been discussed. One former senior CIA official said: 'It has long been a dream of a powerful section of the people now driving this administration and the war in Iraq to safeguard Israel's energy supply as well as that of the United States.

3. Well, whatever they were doing ,

they were apparently not doing it
secretly enough !

[teryang]

6. I'm suspicious about the Basra bombings

...while the suicide bombers are no doubt Islamic extremists, it is easy to manipulate these people through sponsorship, doubleagents, bribery, moles and cut-outs.

[kalian]

7. Hmmm....moles.....

No doubt. The Mossad has done enough of this crap in Palestine.
"Through deceit you shall wage war"... Isn't that Mossad's motto...?
