Blame it on the Russkies
Their arses whipped by the Al Qa Qaa story, which had American soldiers' being killed with explosives the bungling occupiers did not secure, Bush was flailing. A few days before the election, it looked like the the last message the public would hear about Iraq was: they fucked it up and then they lied about it. But wait!
At the last minute, some guy in Defense comes up with the story that the Russkies stole the explosives.
There's no proof, of course. Of course the WT wasn't even sceptical, didn't bother investigating and didn't even ask a hard question. It just printed the bullshit straight up. The article even hints that the Russkies know what happened to the WMDs.
Of course, the story cannot be verified before November 2. It will never be verified. It's another lie on Iraq. How can I say this with such confidence?
If Defense knew that Russia had helped itself to weapons from Al Qa Qaa it would have perhaps mentioned it between March 2003 and now. If it had evidence it would have confronted Russia, demanding to know what Russia knew about WMDs. Rummy would have dropped dark hints about Russia. (Of course, the Russkies might have burned some documents. About one month before the Yanks burned the docs showing what they've sold Saddam!)
If it had known it would not have let Scott McClellan look such a prize prick when he stepped up to the plate.
The plan: make Al Qa Qaa go away. Bush gets re-elected and in a few months a statement is made that investigations have revealed that the Russkies did not in fact cart off the explosives. It's only this moment that counts.
It's pure shit. The rubes will of course eat it. The repugnicunts have shown again that they will stoop to any depths.
