The Gun is ready all that lacks is the smoke.

[Vortexsg]

With the newest of the breaking news involving russia and syria one must ask themselves if the smoking gun is about to make it's appearance. This recent news break joined with pictures possibly, once classified, to be released may turn the pressure up agiast Syria and/or Russia and may be turned up high enough for them to make a statement and for Syria to weigh the risk of a face out with America. The question to be answered is if the russians moved just these type of weapons or something even greater. It is my belief that should the heat turn up high enough that Syria will follow the route of Libya and confess all to avoid such a confrontation. Kerry will no doubt once agian flip-flop on the issue and not state he was wrong but hopefully the damage will have already been done and just maybe there will be little left for the liberals to complain about in this war. Though this is just one young mans hopes and if it happens you heard it here first.

Official Suggests Iraq Hid Weapons in Syria October 29, 2003

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.

GERTZ // THURSDAY // WASH TIMES: Russian special forces troops moved many of Saddam Hussein's weapons and related goods out of Iraq and into Syria in the weeks before the March 2003 U.S. military operation, The Washington Times has learned. John A. Shaw, the deputy undersecretary of defense for international technology security, said in an interview that he believes the Russian troops, working with Iraqi intelligence, “almost certainly” removed the high-explosive material that went missing from the Al-Qaqaa facility, south of Baghdad.

This recent news break joined with pictures possibly. . .

This is the operative phrase. If the Pentagon releases pictures, then the Kerry folks will accuse them of playing partisan politics with classified info. Never mind that kerry says info is being held from the American people, and that the people have a right to know. You watch, if pics come out backing Bush, and the US Military, I guarantee you the rats will try to make the release of the pictures the issue.

I was told this a month ago...by some well placed sources...

We all hope for the same thing as you do. :) The ball is in the government's court and we can only hope we still have President Bush as our Commander in Chief after the election as we know he'll go after them. God forbid that Kerry would win. Btw, welcome to Free Republic! :)

[Ron in Acreage]

Kerry is believing the U.N. and the IAEA over our own troops and military leaders. He is a c*ck sucking traitor. Always has been, always will be.

[MJY1288]

If the Russians admit removing WMD's from Iraq, along with these high explosives, there is gonna be a whole lot of liberals with egg on their face, and I doubt they will ever recover.

How Putin and Bush handle this situation is very important. Putin could blame his predecessor for delivering them to Iraq and take credit for removing them :-)

Don't forget this article.

This will not even make the network news.
Bets anyone?

[LegalEagle61]

God help this story to reach everyone so they know the truth!

[Lancey Howard]

bump

[Ron in Acreage]

How long will it be until Kerry starts acusing our troops of war atrocities? Again.

[MJY1288]

It's already all over the news. Every major news org has the story on their websites. But you could be right, I hope you're not :-)

[muawiyah]

More folks in Russia than the government, FUR SHUR, and there are those with a pro-Islamist agenda.

You have to recall that a great deal of Russian territory consists of areas wrested out of the hands of the Turks and other Moslems in the 1700s. The Moslems want it back!

They also want Spain returned, SW France returned, Corsica, Sicily and Sardinia returned, Greece returned, etc.

No doubt there are terrorists who can muster "state power" in the former Soviet Union (Russia and it's dependencies) and assist pro-Islamist regimes in the Middle East such as Saddam's.

[Ron in Acreage]

The commie 3 nets put a lot on their web sites that never make TV. We'll see in the morning. Will Katie Koran mention this? Will Diane Sawhore? Or Charlie Libson?

[MJY1288]

Ron, I have a gut feeling that this story is very big. This might explain why Putin has come to Bush's aid a few times in the past few months. Putin and Bush are probably on the RED phone as we are typing :-)

[miskie]

oh yeah.. Thats a guarantee..

I also expect the Tinfoil Hat Brigade to be out in full force stating that Rove set them up, and it was all part of the evil genius that is our President.

Kinda like the fake memo stories. ' Rove leaked them bla-bla-bla !! '

[kb2614]

You mean Rove isn't behind this?? Come on, everybody in the fever swamps know that Haliburton and Enron took all the weapons and they are now in a bunker in Crawford, TX.

BE AFRAID, BE VERY AFRAID!!!!!!!!
