In this document ISGZ-2004-028179 there is a report by the Assistant of the Iraqi Intelligence Director to his boss “The Director” dated January/23/2003 regarding the visit of one German and one Frenchman to Iraq and these two guys talk about their strong relation with the top government officials in both France and Germany. In this letter the German that German Chancellor Schroeder was totally opposed to the idea of the war in Iraq and it his opposition to the possible war that made him win the German elections held in 2002. Also there is an important part of the letter where it mention the visit of German Chancellor to meet with the Chinese Prime minister and that the Chinese PM told Schroeder “about the information that was obtained by the Chinese intelligence and it says that Iraq has moved his mass of destruction weapon to Syria and the German Chancellor told him that the German intelligence did not indicate this. And after two days the US state secretary went to Damascus to check on this with the Syrian government that in turn denied this news.” Also in the letter it show the fear of the French to join the war because of the heavy losses that will suffer..

Ray: I have to say I was skeptical of the Syria story, but this may tip the balance to make me a believer.
Impressive stuff. I wonder how the dates of Powell, and Shroeder's visits fit in the timeline of WMD removal to Syria (July-Sept 02 per Sada, Dec 02-April 03 per Shaw, and so forth)?
More than that...what I want to see is details on the 12/98 Hijazi meeting. Hijazi's in custody and admitted to the other meetings, but not the 12/98 one. US intel reportedly is convinced he's lying about that one. It's important because the 911 Comm says the plot was set in motion in Khandahar in late 98 early 99. UBL was only in Khandahar for a few days in 12/98. Why? To meet with Hijazi, then hold press conference and interviews declaring it was his goal to get WMD. Most interesting is that the meeting with Hijazi and the plot both happened immediately (days-even hours) after Zawahiri sent a public declaration vowing to retaliate against the US if the US bombed Iraq. US DID bomb Iraq, Hijazi went to Afghanistan, and 911 plot was set in motion. Now THAT's a doc I wanna see ;-) Till then, this is damn good too! Good work! Oh, and here's few nice links:
