Wouldn't it also be great if Putin admitted Russia did this, but revealed that they also smuggled WMDs out of Iraq?!?!?!?!

I have a feeling they will be admitting it whether they like it or not!
That would be the "Mother of all October Suprises"
Actually would be a very Russian stunt to pull.
They sell the Iraqi's weapons, make money.
They remove the weapons from Iraq for "safekeeping" as war looms.
They watch US and the allies go into Iraq, stumble around a little, but eventually get things right and rebuild the area.
They then explain this, winning big points with W by helping him out in an election, and they make themselves look like friggin peacemakers for removing the WMD's.( Which the "old Soviet regime" cough cough sold to Saddam, yeah right)
Then the Russians come back in January for the contracts in Iraq.
Brilliant!
They end up getting paid several times over, keep their weapons outta nut-job hands, stay away from the fighting, and come out looking like "reasonable Europeans" in diplo-speak.
