LOOK at the date of this article. It confirms a Russian presence in Iraq at time of the invasion, and, in hindsight, lends credence to Gertz's report in tomorrow's Washington Times about the Russians evacuating Saddam's WMDs.

This story is backfiring BIGTIME for Kerry.

Its helping to show the WMD's in Iraq were TRUE ALL ALONG,

But Saddam's allies helped them smuggle the 'best stuff' out

before the shooting started!

While at the same time confirming the link between the Kerry campaign and the MSM propaganda machine at CBS, NYT and others. Not only is this killing two birds with one stone, it's killing them with their own stone.

"Iraqi military officers destroyed or hid chemical, biological and nuclear weapons goods in the weeks before the war, the nation's top satellite spy director said yesterday.

Retired Air Force Lt. Gen. James Clapper, head of the National Imagery and Mapping Agency, said vehicle traffic photographed by U.S. spy satellites indicated that material and documents related to the arms programs were shipped to Syria.

Saddam began dispersing his weapons and sending elements of his chemical, biological and nuclear programs out of the country in the weeks before the war, he said.

Convoys of vehicles, mostly commercial trucks, were spotted going into Syria from Iraq shortly before the start of the war March 19 and during the conflict, he said."

And it's all on camera....currently classified.

I read that after the Iraqi "mystery WMD cargo ships" vanished in the gulf. Wish Kerry would bark about that! Where did those tankers go?
