Nothing further. Freaking Russians ...
That was before Putin was Dubyad with the school disaster. Now he wants revenge and knows Bush is the man to assist AND not stand in his way. Putin had a 9-11 moment. The same moment that changed many 9-11 Democrats.
That is exactly my read, too. Kerry is interfering in delicate matters of state in a tawdry, self-serving manner.
The election is over. This may be a 15% point win for Bush after the fallout on this one. Democrats are going to be real depressed and will not turn out. Independents and moderate Democrats will vote Bush.
I'm sure we did know it back then...one step at a time!!!
What's that old saying "Keep you friends close, but your enemies closer". Maybe that's why Bush made such "nice" remarks about old Putin. He couldn't do that with Chirac because Chirac probably make him break out in hives!!!!
From Gertz:
The Russian arms-removal program was initiated after Yevgeny Primakov, the former Russian intelligence chief, could not convince Saddam to give in to U.S. and Western demands, this official said.
A small portion of Iraq's 650,000 tons to 1 million tons of conventional arms that were found after the war were looted after the U.S.-led invasion, Mr. Shaw said. Russia was Iraq's largest foreign supplier of weaponry, he said.
However, the most important and useful arms and explosives appear to have been separated and moved out as part of carefully designed program. "The organized effort was done in advance of the conflict," Mr. Shaw said.
The Russian forces were tasked with moving special arms out of the country.
Mr. Shaw said foreign intelligence officials believe the Russians worked with Saddam's Mukhabarat intelligence service to separate out special weapons, including high explosives and other arms and related technology, from standard conventional arms spread out in some 200 arms depots.
The Russian weapons were then sent out of the country to Syria, and possibly Lebanon in Russian trucks, Mr. Shaw said.
Sorry again! I am from Nevada. What goes on in Nevada stays in Nevada, so I am told. Anyway we are free to speak our mind. I hope.
Toesucker was channelling you on Fox News earlier tonight.
This explains why the Kerry campaign keeps telling their people to vote early.
They knew something was coming to shut them down.
Karl Rove YOU DA MAN!!!!!!!!!

Official Suggests Iraq Hid Weapons in Syria

Head of spy agency points to signs of heavy travel before U.S. invasion
WASHINGTON - The director of a top American spy agency said Tuesday that he believed that material from Iraq's illicit weapons program was transported into Syria and perhaps other countries as part of an effort by Iraqis to disperse and destroy evidence immediately before the recent war.
The official, James Clapper Jr., a retired air force lieutenant general, said satellite images showing a heavy flow of traffic from Iraq into Syria just before the American invasion in March had led him to believe "unquestionably" that illicit weapons material was moved outside Iraq.

Russia sold weapons to Iraq. They didn't want to get caught.
okay...I'm here late. Do we have proof?
Wow... this story is breaking fast, folks. Hold on to your hats!
I know this will sound self-serving, but if the story doesn't break big by tomorrow night, we will prepare a flyer with the truth and the webpage to document for distribution.

(See our comments on the front page about the October surprise). Because this involves a lot of spy v spy intrigue, it may be that even the Pres won't get into too much detail. Please give us some encouragement (and ideas) if you think this is important.
Another embarrassing moment for the LOSER Kerry...Now what's he going to say next, OOPS?
This is why the admin has not yet responded to the charges and only glossed over them today.
They are in discussions IMO.
I love your picture! That's perfect!
Karl Rove said there would be one or more surprises. He wasn't kidding.
Bush could go back and make that point. Kerry must be SH***ING HIS PANTS!
Today was a good day!
I heard excerpts of Kerry today on radio and could not believe it. He was screaming, just out of control. Wish everyone could have heard it. Fineman on Scarbrough was chomping about him still attacking Bush instead of trying to "relate to the people."
