GERTZ // THURSDAY // WASH TIMES: Russian special forces troops moved many of Saddam Hussein's weapons and related goods out of Iraq and into Syria in the weeks before the March 2003 U.S. military operation, The Washington Times has learned. John A. Shaw, the deputy undersecretary of defense for international technology security, said in an interview that he believes the Russian troops, working with Iraqi intelligence, “almost certainly” removed the high-explosive material that went missing from the Al-Qaqaa facility, south of Baghdad

Seems like I read somewhere  that right up till the end Hussein had Russian KGB (GRU?) and SF units under contract from the Russian gov't to handle/advise on (iirc) logistics and something else. If memory serves, this was recently (before the explosives thing came up)  mentioned somewhere quite casually, as a known fact.

Fox News is reporting it also.

We've known all along that Iraq's WMD's were moved by "someone" to Syria, specifically to Qaratshuk south of the Syrian city of Al Qamishli.

The Main Stream Media never reported it as it doesn't figure into their plans to get SKerry elected.

Bush better have this thing verified by COB tomorrow! If it turns out that the Ruskies were haulin' shit out of Iraq and into Syria then we got fukt hard! Bush needs to prove it and HARP on it between now and Tuesday.

But, this claim is going to need to have Iron Clad evidence! Pictures of Sadaam, Uday and Quasay loding explosives into Putin's trunk would be nice!

October Surprise wetdream

Syria comes out in the next two days and says, yes we have the explosive and yes we have the WMD.  Please come and get them.


This comes after Bush personally calls Assad and tells him about his soon to be appointment with 72 virgins.

I remember something like that, and I remember that there were papers or something being smuggled out by a Russian diplomatic convoy.

I'm going to remain pessimistic until there is definitive proof. I won't under estimate the power of the average moron.

It's amazing that some still don't know the deal with the Russians.  It's cute in a naive sort of way...  Let me break it down...

- They have no money (remember that collapse thing)
- When you have no money, you do things that you are good at for money
- Iraq has lots of money, and was in need of those things

Remember the Kyoto (sp) treaty?  We walked regardless of what the world thought because it would hurt our economy.  It doesn't matter that it was unfair, it simply matters that we acted in our own self interest (BTW: as we should).  Strange that people would {gasp} when the Russians do the same regarding policies that would starve them of direct cash flow.   It's simply how it is...

If anything, Bush could spin it as:  Kerry thinks he'll be able to create alliances with these people.

If this is true - Bush needs to launch a full-out attack on Syria NOW, and at least a token surgical strike on Moscow.  They are aiding terrorists.  This will bring this fight against terrorists to a head pretty damn quick.

Here's a spooky thought (Just fer funsies).....

The dims are already half-convinced that Karl Rove was ultimately the source of the "Memo-Gate" papers a few weeks ago. I've seen them say as much that it (Memo-gate) was just another in a long line of Rove "Dirty tricks" calculated to blow-up in their faces and make them look stupid (Not hard  ).

I'm starting to wonder if "Just" maybe, this is more of the same (?)  Let the dims run with a story for a couple of days (As THEIR October "surprize") and then have it revealed that not only is their argument TOTALLY wrong but, that the TRUTH of the story both CONFIRMS the WMD idea AND fingers one of those "Allies" that kerry says HE'D have brought into the fold before talking action.

kerry's even made COMMERCIALS over the story in the last two days! lol

If this turns out to be true and Rove had ANY hand in it we need to be chiseling HIS face into MT Rushmore LOL  (Here dims, not only will I sell you the rope to hang yourselves with, I'M gonna have you grow the hemp first)

The USA's got some awesome spy satalites orbit above, how come they didn't see'em doing this BS? The reason, they can predict when the sats are going to be overhead. There is only so much those spy sats can do. We need to go back to the U2 and SR71 recon planes.

This part of the story from Drudge concerns me.  I'm not sure I would bet my money on "he believes" and "almost certainly"

Hopefully someone some where has ROCK SOLID PROOF, if not Bush needs to lay low.
