From Flopping Aces (h/t Orbusmax) on yet another bunch of documents that illustrate Saddam was moving WMD, people, equipment before the war.The 1990-2003 War Against Saddam has millions of untold stories. Perhaps one of the most important happened at the onset of the invasion. On the evening of March 22 there are several reports that Russians were witness to an American airborne assault near the Syrian / Jordanian / Iraq border, on or near Highway 11, and in the vicinity of Akashat. Allegedly American airborne troops and/or Special Forces were trying to seize WMD. They were detected by Iraqi forces, surrounded, and as many as 30 were killed or captured. Forces from Jordan were sent to provide air support and rescue for the survivors.
The rest is here.

I remember the long stall right before the troops moved in, in March 2003. It seemed to me that Those phony weapons inspectors and that socialist peace movement helped give time for WMD to get away but this new angle also is something.
If true, the presence of American forces captured and taken into Syria perhaps might be one of the reasons why more pressure hasn’t been exerted on the Assad Regime. In any event, on March 24th President Bush called Russian President Vladamir Putin and there can be no doubt that the issue of Russian support for Saddam’s regime was discussed. That the phone call (widely reported by the press at the time) came immediately in the wake of the border incident is interesting and poignant.
Ps American forces were left behind in WWII, KOREA, AND VIETNAM, and it should have never happened.
Better not leave anyone here behind, Alive or Dead.
Any port in a storm. Anything in support of The Fiasco.
Kloin,
You're right and the rest of the world was wrong. Saddam couldn't possibly ever had weapons of mass destruction. Ever.
Love,
