Horrifying US Secret Weapon Unleashed In Baghdad

"Then to his amazement the tank suddenly let loose a
blinding stream of what seemed like fire and lightning, engulfing a
large passenger bus and three automobiles. Within seconds the bus had
become semi-molten, sagging "like a wet rag" as he put it. He said the
bus rapidly melted under this withering blast, shrinking until it was a
twisted blob about the dimensions of a VW bug. As if that were not
bizarre enough, al-Ghazali explicitly describes seeing numerous human
bodies shriveled to the size of newborn babies. By the time local street
fighting ended that day, he estimates between 500 and 600 soldiers and
civilians had been cooked alive as a result of the mysterious
tank-mounted device."

Horrifying US Secret Weapon Unleashed In Baghdad

A nightmarish US super weapon reportedly was employed by American ground
forces during chaotic street fighting in Baghdad. The secret
tank-mounted weapon was witnessed in all its frightening power by Majid
al-Ghazali, a seasoned Iraqi infantryman who described the device and
its gruesome effects as unlike anything he had ever encountered in his
lengthy military service. The disturbing revelation is yet another piece
of cinematic evidence brought back from postwar Iraq by intrepid
filmmaker Patrick Dillon.

In the film, al-Ghazali, whose english is less than fluent, describes
the weapon as reminiscent of a flame thrower, only immensely more
powerful. It is unclear what principle the weapon is based on. Searching
for a description, al-Ghazali said it appeared to be shooting
concentrated lightning bolts rather than just ordinary flames. Drawing
on his many years as a professional engineer, al-Ghazali speculates that
radiation of some kind probably figures into the weapon's hideous
capabilities. Like all men in Saddam's Iraq, al-Ghazali was compelled to
serve in the Iraqi equivalent of the Army National Guard and fought in
three wars over the past thirty-odd years. Via email, he told me he has
seen virtually every type of conventional weapon employed in battle, and
is well acquainted with their effects on people and machines, but
nothing in his extensive combat experience prepared him for the shock of
what he saw in Baghdad on April 12th.

On that date, al-Ghazali and his family sheltered in their house as a
fierce street battle erupted in his neighborhood. In the midst of the
fighting, he noticed that the Americans had called up an oddly
configured tank. Then to his amazement the tank suddenly let loose a
blinding stream of what seemed like fire and lightning, engulfing a
large passenger bus and three automobiles. Within seconds the bus had
become semi-molten, sagging "like a wet rag" as he put it. He said the
bus rapidly melted under this withering blast, shrinking until it was a
twisted blob about the dimensions of a VW bug. As if that were not
bizarre enough, al-Ghazali explicitly describes seeing numerous human
bodies shriveled to the size of newborn babies. By the time local street
fighting ended that day, he estimates between 500 and 600 soldiers and
civilians had been cooked alive as a result of the mysterious
tank-mounted device.

In a city littered everywhere with burned-out civilian and military
vehicles, US forces were abnormally scrupulous about immediately
detailing bulldozers and shovel crews to the job of burying the grim
wreckage. Nevertheless, telltale remnants remained as Dillon found when
al-Ghazali later took him to the site. Dillon said they easily uncovered
large puddles of resolidified metal and mounds of weird fibrous material
that, al-Ghazali explained, were all that remained of the vehicles'
tires. Dillon, who accumulated plenty of battlefield experience as a
medic in Viet-Nam, and has since covered a number of wars from Somalia
to Kosovo, told me that he has witnessed every kind of conventional
ordnance that can be used on humans and vehicles. " I've seen a freaking
smorgasbord of destruction in my life," he said, "flame-throwers,
napalm, white phosphorous, thermite, you name it. I know of nothing
short of an H-bomb that conceivably might cause a bus to instantly
liquefy or that can flash broil a human body down to the size of an
infant. God pity humanity if that thing is a preview of what's in store
for the 21st century."

For Majid al-Ghazali, images of the terrifying weapon and its victims
haunt his every day. In addition to his work as an engineer, he is also
a highly accomplished classical violinist, occupying the first chair in
the Baghdad Symphony. He is widely acknowledged as one of the preeminent
violinists in the Middle East. Besides his family, one of his greatest
joys is teaching at Baghdad's premier music conservatory. Unfortunately,
the conservatory was utterly destroyed. Yet somehow, despite the war's
horrors and its seemingly endless privations, he manages to maintain a
remarkably hopeful outlook. He recently informed me that the Baghdad
Symphony continues to exist and has been invited to perform in the
United States in December.

Iraqi Commander Swears He Saw US Evacuate Saddam

Bill Dash

8-17-03


Author's Note: This article first appeared on FarShores on 8/12/03. In the
interest of accuracy, I have pulled that draft and replaced it with this
updated version.

Film will soon be made public of an Iraqi Army officer describing how he saw
a US Air Force transport fly Saddam Hussein out of Baghdad. The explosive
eyewitness testimony was shot by independent filmmaker Patrick Dillon, who
recently returned from a risky one-man odyssey in Iraq. In the film, the
officer, who told Dillon that he commanded a special combat unit during the
battle for Baghdad airport and whose identity is temporarily being withheld,
explains in detail how he watched as the Iraqi dictator and members of his
inner circle were evacuated from Iraq's capital by what he emphatically
insists were United States Air Force cargo planes.

Presently, the only copies of the film (which I have not yet seen) are in
New York City. People who have viewed it describe it to me as compelling.

Dillon told me by phone that, prior to the final assault on the capital by
American ground forces, the officer had been entrusted with the near
impossible job of ensuring that one of Baghdad airport's runways would
remain operational no matter what. In civilian life the officer is
reportedly a highly trained civil engineer specializing in airport
operations. He states he was selected to command this hazardous mission in
part because of his expertise in concrete surface construction. He goes on
to report that there was a ferocious battle at the airport, with losses on
both sides far worse than the mainstream news services acknowledge. He
deviates even further from officially sanctioned accounts, by unequivocally
stating that the battle for control of the airport actually lasted several
days longer than commonly believed, dragging on through April 8th and
culminating around dawn on the morning of the 9th. Most news sources cite
April 4th as the day when the airport fell. But many conventional accounts
also acknowledge, if only in passing, uncertainty as to exactly when the
airport was fully subdued,frequently offering the 5th and the 6th as other
possibilities. Virtually everyone agrees on April 9th as the day that the
battle for the entire city officially ended.

In any event, the officer adamantly maintains that his combat/construction
brigade, despite heavy casualties, managed to hold off US troops and
preserve a useable length of runway right through the night of April the
8th.

Then early on the morning of April 9th, as the remnants of his unit were
close to being overrun, a general cease-fire was unexpectedly declared for 6
AM. Shortly after it went into effect, and in broad daylight, the officer
claims a motorcade of 10 Mercedes stretch limos suddenly barreled onto the
airfield, carrying Saddam and his entourage. Almost simultaneously, a flight
of what the officer asserts were four USAF Hercules transports swooped down
and landed on the lone stretch of intact runway. All four C-130s dropped
their rear loading ramps and the limos drove up into the cargo bays of the
waiting planes, which then took off. The officer insists he has no idea
where Saddam or any of the other members of his party may have gone.

Dillon says his film lends major support to what many have believed for
years: that Saddam was little more than an american tool, a stage-managed
"evildoer", just one in a long line of useful villains bought and paid for
by the United States in order to better manipulate international politics
and commerce. The gutsy New York based filmmaker, who risked his life amid
the chaos of postwar Iraq, says that much of the Iraqi populace believes
Saddam is not dead and they worry he could still exact revenge from afar.
While many Iraqi civilians initially welcomed American forces, Dillon told
me most Iraqis, having now had a bitter taste of American occupation, feel
enraged with the US and its soldiers. Dillon said living conditions in Iraq
are horrible and that little of significance is being done to relieve the
situation.

Based on what he saw during his travels, Dillon told me he's convinced the
war and its sweeping devastation of the Iraqi nation is in reality a mind
boggling charade. Rather than liberating Iraq, its actual purpose is to
corral Iraq's huge oil reserves and to serve as a pretext for channeling
tens of billions in largesse to favored American corporations like
Haliburton and Bechtel. As an example, Dillon pointed to how US air strikes
systematically obliterated every last Iraqi telecommunications facility from
one end of the country to the other, a measure he maintains vastly exceeded
all practical military necessity. Then, without even the pretense of a
competitive bid, Washington gifted WorldCom, the near bankrupt US telecom
giant responsible for the greatest fraud in financial history, with a huge
multi-billion dollar contract to build Iraq a new nationwide
state-of-the-art telephone system.
