I do remember that story and also one about a convoy of about 20 Russian trucks leaving Iraq that were stopped by our soldiers but ordered to be allowed through. No word on what those trucks were carrying.
I believe Bill Gertz first reported the Russian trucks, but many publications picked that up. That wasn’t hard to find.
The Russian trucks took something from Iraqi military weapons facilities and drove to Syria. Our satellite intel picked that up.
Remember when Israel and Syria had a skirmish a few years ago and the liberals were all fretting that Israel would move troops into Syria. I wonder if they were afraid that the Israelis would find Saddam’s WMDs.
