WASHINGTON - Russian special forces may have moved many of Saddam Hussein's weapons and related goods out of Iraq and into Syria in the weeks before the U.S. invasion in 2003, The Washington Times reported today.
John A. Shaw, deputy undersecretary of defense for international technology security, told The Times in an interview that he believes the Russian troops, working with Iraqi intelligence, "almost certainly" removed the 377 tons of heavy ordnance that has been reported missing from a site south of Baghdad.
"The Russians brought in, just before the war got started, a whole series of military units," Shaw was quoted as saying. "Their main job was to shred all evidence of any of the contractual arrangements they had with the Iraqis. The others were transportation units."
Shaw, who was in charge of cataloging the tons of conventional arms provided to Iraq by foreign suppliers, said he recently obtained reliable information on the arms-dispersal program from two European intelligence services that have detailed knowledge of the Russian-Iraqi weapons collaboration.
Albuquerque is the only one I see and it's been out for one hour and fifteen minutes.
AND if this had been a hit-piece on President Bush there would be no question mark in the title.
CORRECTION: Albuquerque Tribune
Still, Washington Times has come a long way... MSM used to COMPLETELY ignore anything they reported.
What else did the Russians remove besides explosives???
WMD'???
You know, Saddam was a nasty, mean, murderous, conniving and overall not-very-nice SOB... But he was not stupid. It just finally all cought up to him in the end. Of course the weapons were gone before we got there! Look, I know the desert is big, but how do you miss a convoy carrying that many explosives? Even smuggled, how'd they get it ALL out? Ladies and gentlemen, Saddam, when faced with the extermination of his regime, proceeded to dump all evidence to other sources in the hope that they would resist US forces later.
If you're a drug dealer and the cops tell you that they're going to be invading in, oh, the next few days, do you keep the drugs in your house or do you get rid of them?
It's amazing.
AP runs with this.

AND THATS ALL I CAN FIT IN ONE POST.
Russians helped by our friends the French and Germans.
I'm afraid the US Government knows the answer to that all too well.
The question then becomes why the US Government hasn't shouted the answer from the rooftops since day one of the war?
bump
Absolutely; they've even had yet another NG article within the last few days!
Did Iraq let Russia cover their tracks in exchange for them moving WMD?
Or was Iraq's WMD program done with Russia's help?
MSM has become the kook media.
According to Paul Wolfowitz, Saddam was in bed with Al Queda. And of course Al Queda is causing Russia all sorts of headaches in Chechnya. So why would Putin help Saddam?
Perhaps this makes sense it you think that Russia's only interest in the game was food-for-oil. But of course Russia is also involved in the worldwide war on Terror; and Putin has endorse President Bush's second term.
Okay, let's assume Russia removed these tons of munitions. How & to where would Russian forces remove those munitions? Would Turkey give them transit rights?
I am just thinking out loud right now. Trying to piece together this story
If you want a friend in Washington or the U.N., get a dog.
Coalition of the willing excepted.
Gee Wiz. Could it be true that just like the Viet Cong leaders did many years ago, our enemies today are both reading our political headlines and playing them to their advantage by feeding lines to Kerry?
Naaawwww, that would never happen.
Well, Saddam is one thug that won't be terrorizing the region anymore.
Guys tonight expect Hannity and Scarborough, with Pat Buchanan to really blast Kerry for this...plus you know Brit Hume will also be talking about it, and Greta is also having someone on tonight about it....this news will really be circulating the next few days, to cook Kerry's goose alittle bit more before Tues.
MSM is not going to give this play until after the election.
If they do cover it, it will be in a story with some very bland headline. It will have more questions than facts and it will be buried at the bottom of the article.
I hope I'm wrong.
