It appears that Drudge is linking back to the Washington Post that has all the details but the Washington Post is hammered and its response is REALLY REALLY slow. I wonder why! ;)
Anyways, here is another link that has a copy of the Washington Posts site here.
Check out this Frontpagemag.com article written in early October 2004 that theorizes Russia took the WMD out of Iraq.

Its because their server is bogged down. And this is not Breaking News.
Man, next you guys will be posting that people farting is Breaking News.
Ohh, it's Breaking News alright, Breaking Kerry's back! bwah-hahahaha
Keep posting that article. Eventually they'll read it ;)
Your questions are rhetorical, I presume?
Ion Pacepa has been trying to tell us what really happened to the WMD all along...apparently no one was listening.

Defense Official Probed on Contracts
John "Jack" Shaw, deputy undersecretary for international technology security, represented himself as an agent of the Pentagon's inspector general in conducting the investigations this year, sources said.
In one case, Shaw disguised himself as an employee of Halliburton Co. and gained access to a port in southern Iraq after he was denied entry by the U.S. military, the sources said.
The inspector general's office -- which investigates waste, fraud and abuse at the Pentagon -- has turned over its inquiry into Shaw's actions to the FBI to avoid the appearance of a conflict of interest, the sources said.
The FBI is also looking into allegations, first reported by the Los Angeles Times, that Shaw tried to steer a contract to create an emergency phone network for Iraq's security forces to a company whose board of directors included a friend and one of Shaw's employees.
"Jack Shaw was never authorized to do any kind of investigation or auditing on his own," said one source close to Schmitz. "The agreement was not for that. He's trying to cram more authority into that agreement than it gives him."
Schmitz canceled the agreement two weeks after Shaw was first accused of tampering with the emergency phone network contract.
Agreed, however the amount of explosives is documented by the UN as considerably less than what has been publicized.
Anyways, here is another link that has a copy of the Washington Posts site TIMES ARTICLE.
well, the drudge link works for me. I think someone us using a drudge headline to pimp a site in FR Breaking News. But thats just my opinion.
I am starting to get a glimspe of the whole picture and it is chilling.
Who would have known 9/11 awakened the sleeping giant personified in President George Bush? He was the right man at the right time.
But what was good for us was not good for the world. The UN was not amused.
A coordinated effort to destroy President Bush is emerging. A global effort. AN attempt to overthrow our current adminstration by whatever mean. Sadly, I think it is with the cooperation of kerry and our MSM. Kerry will sell his soul to be President. He sold out the military. He is not above selling out the entire country to rule this nation.
He mentioned "that ammo dump" in a debate weeks ago. Another freeper reminded us he mentioned weapons in Russia (or something to that effect). We heard him say fighting under the UN Flag is honorable. Fighting under the US Flag is not.
I don't have a wise conclusion to wrap this post up with. I am getting a bad feeling about "the big picture."
Another Freeper said that Bush chose not to respond because there are issues we may not know about which are bigger than the election.
Sadly, I think he is on to something.

IMMEDIATE RELEASE August 10, 2004
My point ... the World is complex. We don't know that the Russian spiriting of all this ordinance ... and perhaps the WMDs ... from Iraq didn't lead to their surreptitious obliteration, but for Russian political imperatives Bush has had to bite the bullet all these months and admit nothing. Putin's political standing took precedence to his own.
This grand master chess on a life-or-death world stage, and it appears that George W. Bush is quite the brilliant practitioner.
The Israelis, like the US, have been temporarily duped by the Russians. Thought you might be interested in the following article (it's related to your last post to me). Would be interested in your comments.

Primakov is a typical Soviet Agent-Provacateur who was not hard to find in the 80s.
The Russians and Israelis are involved in close security alliances. Not everyone is a dupe but Freepers, ya know!
OK, were not done yet. What do you think of this one???

From the link I posted: The inspector general's office -- which investigates waste, fraud and abuse at the Pentagon -- has turned over its inquiry into Shaw's actions to the FBI to avoid the appearance of a conflict of interest, the sources said.
Back to you...
It rings true to me. Look, the advent of Islamism mirrored the advent of Communism in the "hallowed halls" of anti-Western academia post WWI.
I don't see the connection with Russia in 2004, however, and especially Russian vital interests today. The Soviet Union is dead, even if all its bloated apparatchnicks are still kicking around causing trouble and stealing wealth wherever they can.
Everyone here sees the Russian spiriting of WMD weaponry from Iraq as a threat, I think it might just be a victory in our WOT that cannot yet be revealed.
