The Russians still can't figure out who to trust and who wants to kill them.
And through it all, our President stood steadfast against all of them.
God Bless George W. Bush. Even if you hate him, he'll save your ass anyways.
ROFLMAO=rolling on the floor laughing my a** off :)
Kerry still could get the "football" come late January. G_d help us if he does.
well, well, well Im shocked.
when eill the canadians get ratted out?
There is obviously a Republican mole in the Kerry campaign , who whispered in Kerry's hairy ear that he should go Medieval on the troops and falsely blame them for the missing explosives.
We salute you.
The USSR was a main arms supplier to Saddam. A lot of the stuff removed was Russian to begin with.
Deputy undersecretary of defense John A. Shaw believes the Russians moved the explosives out of al Qaqaa . . . ? Who is that supposed to convince? Evidence?
I think Kerry had a hard on about this going into the debates. He knew well in advance and he tried to screw bush. In the end he is the one who is going to get screwed.

Duelfer: 'A lot of material left Iraq and went to Syria'
"I've never thought Russia was our friend. Just a quieter, more backstabbing kind of enemy post-Cold-War as opposed to the overt nature of the enmity before."
I take it a little further...I think Russia and Red China are the most dangerous nations in the world today. Just like during the Cold War, they've got us chasing our tails dealing with chump change like Iraq, when it is they themselves who are by far the biggest WMD proliferators (and to our sworn enemies no less).
I don't believe Russia took the explosives out.
I believe Saddam moved them before we got there, as he was moving lots of things.
I'm concerned that if Russia denies (perhaps truthfully), we will look stupid saying they took the stuff.
Today, ABC said only 3 tons was missing, not 130+ tons of one explosive.
So, they don't have to have gone to Russia for Kerry/NYT to be liars.
"Massive hugh and series!!" You beat me to it, but I'll say it too: This is HUGH and SERIES!!
This does it: Kerry's gonna LOOSE, LOOSE, LOOSE!
I bet they were there testing the Kornets against our Abrams tanks too.
The very last sentence in the WashTimes story...
"..Officials believe the Russians also can explain what happened to Iraq's weapons of mass destruction programs. "
Well, what else is missing?
Sounds like a lot of half truths.
Maybe some good chemicals????
Gee, ya think the poodle will apologize to Bush? LOL.... Kerry really stuck his finger in the goo this time.
You're right Tereza, but how was I to know that they covered that at the April 03 intelligence meeting. Edwards didn't have it in his notes either.
The MSM will not run with a WT Gertz story.
This will only be known among 40% of us.
The NYT, CBS, and the Kerry/UN/Soros ticket got their headline.
The Administration cannot argue these facts now, its too late.
God help us.
I don't know why everyone is so shocked.
Honestly, old habits die hard, the Russkies were mortal enemies for 50 years. Many people forget this.
They never even pretended to be "allies" (unlike turncoats France, Germany). I don't even recall a thank you for the Yeltsin era money we sank into their economy to fund new, improved russian mobsters...hehe.
While this Russian activity in Iraq ticks me off...it doesn't impact me the same as the French and German betrayal. Guess I'm just used to rascally Russians. I always assume the worst with 'em and am occasionally suprised, but only occasionally.
Plus, I am sure there is much more going on we don't know about. I hate to sound like an apologist for the Republic formerly known as "Soviet Union", but c'mon, to think the old reds turned into our buddies overnight is naive. I have no doubt that the russians were helping Saddam, but it doesn't tick me off near as much as the French and Germans helping Saddam....
maybe thats wierd, but that's my honest opinion. I expect the Russians will be up to this sort of thing for several more decades...
