Paper names '45-minute source'
7 December 2003 (London)
An Iraqi army officer has claimed it was he who told UK intelligence that weapons of mass destruction could be used within 45 minutes of an order from Saddam Hussein.
The officer, identified as Lt Col al-Dabbagh, told the London-based Sunday Telegraph newspaper he had provided several reports on the president's WMD plans from early 2002.
These included details of how frontline units were supplied with cases of WMD warheads towards the end of last year.
Downing Street has so far refused to comment on the report.
However, a spokesman said anyone with relevant information should contact the Iraq Survey Group as it hunts for WMD.
'100% accurate'
The 45-minute claim was a key component of the UK government's dossier on the threat posed by Iraq published in the run up to the invasion in March.

Baghdad said to have made last minute overture to U.S. before war
(MSNBC) BEIRUT, Lebanon, Nov. 6, 2003 — Negotiators for Saddam Hussein tried to strike a
last-minute deal with the Bush administration to avoid an invasion after realizing
'the threat was real,' a Lebanese-American businessman who tried to serve as a
go-between said Thursday.
'These people feared for their life,' Imad
Hage said in an interview with The Associated Press.
Hage said that in the 2½ months before the United States invaded Iraq on March 20, he had six meetings with senior Iraqi intelligence officials and passed on details of his discussions to contacts at the Pentagon.
Baghdad's offer included allowing U.S. agents to search for weapons of mass destruction and a promise of oil contracts for American companies. The United States, though, wanted Saddam to step down, something the Iraqis did not propose, and U.S. officials said the offer Hage carried wouldn't have averted war.
'The United States exhausted every legitimate and credible opportunity to resolve this peacefully,' presidential spokesman Scott McClellan said Thursday in Washington. 'Saddam Hussein could have averted military action. He had a number of opportunities to do so.' - Read More...

Iraq's government openly praised the September 11th attacks on America
- In the aftermath of the attacks on America that killed thousands of innocents from 80 countries, Saddam Hussein said, "America is reaping the thorns planted by its rulers in the world."
The following is information taken directly from the Bush White House website. It was live early in the War on Iraq in 2003.
Iraq Shelters and Supports Terrorist Organizations
- Iraq shelters and supports terrorist organizations that direct violence against Iran, Israel, and Western governments.
- Al Qaeda terrorists escaped from Afghanistan and are known to be in Iraq.
- In 1993, Iraq attempted to assassinate the Emir of Kuwait and a former U.S. President.
Saddam Hussein has an Appetite for Nuclear Weapons
- In 1995, after four years of deception, Iraq finally admitted it had a crash nuclear weapons program prior to the Gulf War.
- Were it not for that war, the regime in Iraq would likely have possessed a nuclear weapon no later than 1993.
- Iraq still employs capable nuclear scientists and technicians and retains physical infrastructure needed to build a nuclear weapon.
- Iraq has made several attempts to buy high-strength aluminum tubes used to enrich uranium for a nuclear weapon.
Saddam Possesses Biological and Chemical Weapons
- United Nations' inspections revealed that Iraq likely maintains stockpiles of VX, mustard and other chemical agents, and that the regime is rebuilding and expanding facilities capable of producing chemical weapons.
- On at least 10 occasions, Saddam Hussein’s military forces have attacked Iranian and Kurdish targets with combinations of mustard gas and nerve agents through the use of aerial bombs, 122-millimeter rockets, and conventional artillery shells.
- Iraq has admitted to producing tens of thousands of liters of anthrax and other deadly biological agents for use with Scud warheads, aerial bombs, and aircraft spray tanks.
- U.N. inspectors believe Iraq has produced two to four times the amount of biological agents it declared, and has failed to account for more than three metric tons of material that could be used to produce biological weapons.
- Iraq is expanding and improving facilities that were used for the production of biological weapons.
Saddam’s Repression and Genocide of the Iraqi People
- In the late 1980’s Saddam Hussein launched a large-scale chemical weapons attack against Iraq’s Kurdish population killing thousands.
- Former UN Human Rights Special Rapporteur Max Van der Stoel’s report in April 1998 stated that Iraq had executed at least 1,500 people during the previous year for political reasons.
- Tens of thousands of political opponents and ordinary citizens have been subjected to arbitrary arrest and imprisonment, summary execution, and torture by beating and burning, electric shock, starvation, mutilation, and rape.
- Wives are tortured in front of their husbands, children in the presence of their parents.
- Saddam blames the suffering of Iraq's people on the U.N., even as he uses his oil wealth to build lavish palaces for himself, and buy arms for his country.
Saddam’s Abuse of Children
- Child labor persists and there are instances of forced labor.
- There are widespread reports that food and medicine that could have been made available to the general public, including children, have been stockpiled in warehouses or diverted for the personal use of some government officials.

Violence Against Women

- Amnesty International reported that, in October 2000, the Iraqi Government executed dozens of women accused of prostitution.
Iraq Has Not Returned Prisoners
- In 1991, the U.N. Security Council demanded that Iraq return all prisoners from Kuwait and other lands. Iraq's regime agreed. It broke its promise.
- Last year the Secretary General's high-level coordinator for this issue reported that Kuwait, Saudi, Indian, Syrian, Lebanese, Iranian, Egyptian, Bahraini, and Omani nationals remain unaccounted for -- more than 600 people.
- One American pilot is among them.
Saddam Possesses Prohibited Missiles
- Iraq possesses a force of Scud-type missiles with ranges beyond the 150 kilometers permitted by the U.N.
- Work at testing and production facilities shows that Iraq is building more long-range missiles that it can use to inflict mass death throughout the region.
Weapons Inspectors Have Been Shut out of Iraq for Four Years
- It's been almost four years since the last U.N. inspectors set foot in Iraq, four years for the Iraqi regime to plan, build, and test behind the cloak of secrecy.
- The first time we may be completely certain Saddam Hussein has a nuclear weapon is when, God forbids, he uses one.
