So what happened to the 380 tons of high explosives that were reported missing from the Al-Qaqaa military installation south of Baghdad in the fall of 2004, explosives so powerful they could be used to detonate nuclear weapons? The Pentagon issued a statement saying the "movement of 377 tons of heavy ordnance would have required dozens of heavy trucks," not something ragtag elements of a crumbling resistance could have managed on roads occupied by an onrushing U.S. Army. Maybe the WMD were on some of those trucks driven out of Iraq into Syria, likely under Russian supervision.

Thanks, I was hoping someone would post this, Jim Quinn referenced it on his show this morning and I can't wait to read the entire thing.

Why is it folks insist on propagating this rumor?

The supervision was that of exiled Soviet generals who are persona non grata in Russia.

Ion Mihai Pacepa (born 28 October 1928) is the highest intelligence official ever to have defected from the Soviet bloc to the West. In July 1978, Pacepa was a two-star Romanian general who simultaneously held the rank of advisor to President Nicolae Ceausescu, acting chief of his foreign intelligence service and state secretary in Romania’s Ministry of Interior. He defected to the United States following President Jimmy Carter's approval of his request for asylum.

John Shaw is widly regarded as having been pressured to resign for falsifying documents, and for trying to get sweet contracts for croonies, at home and abroad. He helped Ukranians get high positions in the Ukraine intelligence service as well.

Is it more likely that MI6, the Pentagon, and the White House are covering up Russian involvement or that Shaw's Ukranian pals gossiped to him that Russians were involved so he's shouting it from the tree tops to try to distract from his tarnished name?

Consider also the strange death of Dr. David Kelley in the UK. It was labeled a suicide and came on the heels of a shameful experience of being caught between a hostile media and the pro war faction of the government.

The interesting thing is, Kelley was one of few arms inspection experts who had personally inspected both Russian and Iraqi biowar programs and was in quite a good position to connect the dots. Obviously, this is not "evidence" of anything, but it is nonetheless a very interesting circumstance.

And in this interview from WorldThreats.com The Changed Baathist: Interview with Ali Ibrahim Al-Tikriti the General says:

I know Saddam's weapons are in Syria due to certain military deals that were made going as far back as the late 1980's that dealt with the event that either capitols were threatened with being overrun by an enemy nation. Not to mention I have discussed this in-depth with various contacts of mine who have confirmed what I already knew. At this point Saddam knew that the United States were eventually going to come for his weapons and the United States wasn't going to just let this go like they did in the original Gulf War. He knew that he had lied for this many years and wanted to maintain legitimacy with the pan Arab nationalists. He also has wanted since he took power to embarrass the West and this was the perfect opportunity to do so.

.....disinterest of Democrats and the media in the Saddam tapes showing Iraq had WMD and Bush didn't lie.

Unfortunately this disinterest also appears to extend to GOP congressmen.

There has been word of this since late 03, if it's true why isn't the Bush Admin/Pentagon/CIA documenting & publicizing the movememts out of Iraq into Syria & Lebanon? As well as the current locations?

I don't get it, why not get the truth out -- if it is the truth?

I thought you would be interested in this. I find it interesting that it is trying to be debunked so quickly! Because I've done a massive amount of research into this and find arrows pointing many different directions, but all back to Russia. Go fig.
