The Saga of the Strange Trailers ContinuesI am not at all sure why, but this administration chose to keep the nefarious purpose of unusual vehicles found immediately after the U.S. Iraqi invasion under a cloud of confusion.
Reports of unusual vehicles abounded early after the American invasion of Iraq. Eventually the vehicles were determined, I don't know by who, to be for civilian use only. Some argue that the weirdly equipped vehicles were used to transport chemicals for offense; some argue that they were designed to be used only for defensive purposes, just in case the U.S. dropped a ton of deadly gas on innocent Iraq.
Yet in translation after translation purchases of these vehicles as well as what the vehicles contained continue to show up in top-secret documents. The translations seem to reveal that the Iraqi Baathists deemed these vehicles very important.

Document ISGQ-2004-00220151is dated 2001 and talks about military contracts with different companies that are part of the Iraqi Military Industrialization Commission (MIC). One of these contracts is the manufacturing of Chemical Warfare Decontamination Trailers. The document said that these trailers cannot be imported because of the blockade against Iraq so the Iraqis decided to manufacture on their own against UN sanctions to do so. Although the trailers can be considered by some as “defensive measures” from Chemical attacks, but these trailers are also necessary to escort the Iraqis if they were moving chemical weapons from place to another because in case of a chemical accident these decontamination vehicles must be used. In fact during Cloin Powell presentation to the UN on February 2003, he said that the 2002 satellite photos taken recently over Iraq showed presence of these Chemical decontamination trailers which indicate movement of Chemical weapons.
