Moonie Owned Times Propaganda: Russians took them weapons

[OutsourceBush]

trust us, we are right wing propaganda Moonies working for the CIA we wouldn't lie to you. But we did leak our story to Pat Buchanan and Matt Drudge just to make it look like we are a real news outlet and not a puppet group that loses money each year just so we can produce propaganda for the far right neo-nazis facists who claim to be Christians.

2. It's there BUT

it comes and goes. Almost as if somebody is hacking the site.

I have the full text in another window. here are the first 3 paragraphs...

Russian special forces troops moved many of Saddam Hussein's weapons and related goods out of Iraq and into Syria in the weeks before the March 2003 U.S. military operation, The Washington Times has learned.
John A. Shaw, the deputy undersecretary of defense for international technology security, said in an interview that he believes the Russian troops, working with Iraqi intelligence, "almost certainly" removed the high-explosive material that went missing from the Al-Qaqaa facility, south of Baghdad.
"The Russians brought in, just before the war got started, a whole series of military units," Mr. Shaw said. "Their main job was to shred all evidence of any of the contractual arrangements they had with the Iraqis. The others were transportation units."

...

I don't know it it's true. however, it's now been quoted(or author interviewed) on FOX,MSNBC, and on talk radio. It's making the rounds.

Since an actual govt official is cited, I tend to believe * or his cronies is going to push it heavily. Primarily because it *explains* where the WMD's went. This might be the october surprise.

Gang , Last month I called it on Air America's Contest that 'Russia will be the October Surprise'

http://airamericaradio.com/weblogs/alfrankenshow/index.php?/franken/comments/1830/

For this story to go the way it is, its going to put America right into a conflict with Russia.

I believe it was the third debate that even Kerry said, 'Russia is Locking up its Political Opposition' - Referring to Putin.

We have been planting ourselves all around Moscow, Iraq is a launching pad to Moscow.

Libya, we made a deal with them so we could use their land as an air base in the future for the final conflict, which might be speeding up.

Sounds wierd? I have been saying for over a year that Moscow is a target. Bush campaigned Against Russia for its war crimes against the Chechens years ago.

Its all going full circle.

PS = I HOPE I AM WRONG, REALLY REALLY WRONG.
