Just saw on MSNBC Scarborough Country, Pat Buchanan said that the Wash Times is set to report that Russian Troops helped move the explosives and weapons to Syria before the invasion...
*******Washington Times Link**********
Russia tied to Iraq's missing arms
Drudge has it up now too.
This is it folks! John F'n Kerry is screwed!
Drudge reported this about an hour ago. It always takes MSM 1 hour to catch up.
Kerry's October Suprise has exploded in his ugly face!! BOOMMM!!!
I see a heaping plate of crow in Kerrys future.
This thing growing legs fast!
Now sKerry is gonna run ads against Putin.
Ion Pacepa has been trying to tell us what really happened to the WMD all along...apparently no one was listening.

He's used to crow...he's married to one.
Excellent.
and with that....KERRY IS TOAST!
Doesn't matter - the damage has already been done. Also, people might want to know why Bush is dealing with Russia. If the Washington Times' story is true, it looks like Russia is conspiring with America's enemies.
i think this is going to turn into the answer to the question "where are the wmd's". watch and learn boys. watch and learn what october surprise means. the liberal media gets to kick off the surprise thinking they are taking down bush. :-)
This just makes me smile!!! Kerry is in hugh trouble now. Seriesly.
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.
Great POST. FREEPERS are awesome.
Is Chris Matthews crying?
Kerry just got hit with the October Surprise....
I believe Debka's report on the Russian convoys heading into Syria before the war even began predates Front Page.
