Russian authorities who worked in the sting provided an inert missile that was shipped to the United States

TOOO FUNNY!!!!

There was a movie a few years ago, about Baghdad, I think. And a US president stuck in some diner..

It was so bad that even "Made For HBO" wasn't adequate warning. Given that nearly all the nuke war movies are schlock drivel, that one was especially low. The movie did portray the U.S. presidency and his top staff (NSC, military) as total boobs and idiots. A typical Hollywood Lefty hit piece.

I wonder if this sting was intended specifically to lure an 'arms dealer' into a news-making transaction specifically to drum up a War On Terrorism event.

I don't see much indication in this and other reports that there was any particular interest in peddling missiles to terrorists until he was lured into thinking he had buyers for his missiles.

The circumstances indicate the possibility that this is a case of entrapment that serves political ends.

The Brits and the Russians would have reasons of their to cooperate in this venture.
