Ya gotta love these google-warriors coming up with their cracker jack decoder kit analysis of the situation and who fall for every "defector" willing to tell paranoics what they want to hear.

Let's look at this rationally:

Claim: Russian Spetsnaz spirited Iraqi WMD to Syria in truck convoys. Reality: If WMD was spirited to Syria, WHY would the Russians send their military to do it? Saddam had the Revolutionary Guards who were more than capable of doing this. Would Russia risk being found out and damaging their relations with the US and the millions of dollars in US aid over this?

Claim: Russian Spetsnaz involved... Reality: IF the Russians were to send any military to Iraq to accomplish this task they would have been from the Nuclear, Chemical and Biological Defense Forces. But it's a moot point anyway since they didn't do it.

Claim: Russians transfered Iraqi WMD to Syria:
Reality: If the Russians did indeed spirit out any WMD they would have done it by aircraft and would NOT have taken it to Syria. They won't risk having a third party embarrass them.

Claim: Russians were able to sneak the WMD undected by the West. Reality: If you believe that, I've got a nice bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.

Claim: The sources of the information are unimpeachable.. Hmmm. A Syrian defector wanting to make money and a disgraced Dept of Defense worker embroilled in corruption charges. I guess if we're to believe these guys we all ought to be sending Scott Ritter apology letters as well. I guess you only believe what you want to believe facts and logic be damned.

What we have here unfortunately are a lot of people with over-active imaginations fed by watching too many Hollyweird conspiracy-laced movies.

The paranoids need an all powerful enemy to be afraid off and give their meaningless lives credibility. Thank God that adults run the White House and not the Key Stone Cops.
