The Russians Did It

October 28, 2004

Here’s what the Defense Department is now saying about the vanished super-explosives from the Al Qaqaa munitions dump, according to the Washington Times . Of course, it’s nonsense:

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?
