FLASH: Russians removed explosives from al Qaaqa

Well, no damned wonder the Russians were against our invasion of Iraq! We knew they had business ties to Saddam, but the levels they went to in order to conceal these dealings borders on an act of war!

From the Washington Times:

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.

Now that the Russians have experienced terrorism on their own soil, perhaps they'll be just a tad more sympathetic towards us in dealing with global terror threats.

By the way, when can we expect Kerry and his minions in the media to blame Russians stealing weapons on Bush, hmm?
