This is BS
This is BS why? Because you say so? Bill Gertz's reputation isn't like Debka or STRATFOR.
For instance, how many of you doubt his reporting on Russian forces removing the Iraqi WMDs? During the "ammogate" crap the NYT threw at us during the elections, it seems that everyone agreed with Mr Gertz then.
Just because it doesn't fit your personal ideas of the situation on the ground there, doesn't mean it's BS.
