despite being Drudge... despite being the Wash. Times... OCT surprise?

[wyldwolf]

GERTZ // THURSDAY // WASH 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.

1. Return of the Red Menace

[wyldwolf]

3. Pehaps Putin will withdraw his Bush endorsement...

Putin: "Don't blame your carelessness on us!"

2. Sounds like recycled RW bullshit to me

The October surprise is... that there is no surprise.

4. I wouldn't jump the gun so soon.

Though the chances are that nothing will happen, there still is enough time for Bush and Co. to trump something up this weekend in time to make headlines on Monday when the full media goes fullsteam into Election mode.

I won't let my guard down until after Nov. 2.

5. Bill Gertz is on acid

that's the only way Moon and Wes Pruden will allow anyone to write at the Washington Times. Except Andrew Sullivan. He only has to be mildly drunk when writing his columns.

6. Bwahahaha!

That is excuse number 29

And just like the first 28 Bush lies the last two days.. its been totally debunked!!

The more they lie, the more outrageous it gets!!

Bwahahahaha.

Sheesh, you cant make this stuff up.

It would be funny if there were not so many US troops dying as a result of the Bush incompetence.

7. Total bullshit already debunked

And too stupid to even have been worth the debunking.

Even Rumsfailed's spokesidiot Di Rita is distancing himself fast as he can from this silly crap. :D

Read Josh on the debunking;

9. Wait, Wait, Wait

In the weeks before March 2003??

Saddam allowed 380 tons to A.) be stolen from a base where he stored weapons and B.) driven from south of Baghdad (by truck) and no one saw it or stopped them??

Oh I guess Russia borrowed Harry Potter's invisibility cloak or took the explosives out one pound at a time in women's purses. Such hard working folks!

I'm already debunking that the Irish sent leprechauns to steal it.

[obreaslan]

10. Actually, it's funny you mention the leprechauns...

They are part of the "Coalition of the Mythical" that b*sh has been talking about.

There's the:

589th Leprechaun Division
The 1st Wood Nymphs Calvary
The 85th Pixie Fighting Wing
And of course,don't forget Poland.

11. THAT SIMPLY CANNOT BE AND I CAN PROVE IT!
