the Russian troops almost certainly removed the material from the Al-Qaqaa facility. Shaw also had this to say: "The Russians brought in, just before the war got started, a whole series of military units.

Almost certainly? Where is the proof? Russia is able to move "whole" units into Iraq, right under US satellite and over flight survailence without anyone noticing, when every international flight into Iraq is monitored?

Either the Russians are super slick or we are total idiots or this is pure BS.

I agree "certainty" is a stretch, and we do not have "proof." However, it would not be all that hard to move 200 Spetsnaz undetected from Syria into Iraq and retrieve or destroy any WMD and other items. It also could have also been handled by elements of Saddam's Republican Guard. However, the former Romanian spy chief has testified the Russians did have plans for eliminating these items in the event a regime was likely to be overthrown. The Iraqi and Syrian Baath Parties are very close and would work together. In my OPINION, the WMD were moved into Lebanon's Bekka Valley and buried by either the Russian or Iraqis. You might recall earlier this summer al-Zaquarwi's group attempted to smuggle a bomb capable of killing 20,000 from Lebanon into Jordan. Fortunately, the Jordanians were able to stop it. Now someone please tell me where al-Zaquarwi would obtain explosives powerful enough to kill 20,000? I'm a former demolitions expert, and I was stunned at the size of this bomb.

A conventional explosive is out of the question, unless you've rigged some standium or such. More then likely chemical or bio or nuke. As for from where, there is a list of possibilities: Iraq, Iran, Syria, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, black market.

Of course, you can not discount the exaggeration process of the Arabs and their "press". 20,000 could just as easily be 200. Just look at Jennin: Israel kills 40 guys and in the Arab press this becomes 4,000, a massive massacre.

According to Saddam's press, we lost whole corps on the offensive.

Take everything with more then a grain of salt, more like a salt lick.
