It will take more information and some synthesizing to understand the whole picture. As of now I believe the Russia story has more credibility as it dovetails with other reports of trucks going into Syria before the war. Something about the Iraqi general seems too pat, based on what I hear so far, but I'm willing to hear more details (Can he gives us dates/times?). <BR/><BR/>I find it hard to believe they were simply dumped somewhere but no one knows where. That's silly and a dangerous thing to believe. Everyone keeps pointing to Syria though, even if it's different stories.Barry Dauphinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15808109325931309525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16821859.post-1141329102586360552006-03-02T12:51:00.000-07:002006-03-02T12:51:00.000-07:00It could have been both.

Saddam has always seemed like a mobster to me, and mobsters never leave witnesses unless they can be blackmailed.<BR/><BR/>He could have been playing both ends against the middle with the US and Russia. Just like the good ol days.<BR/><BR/>But I do find it more believable that the weapons were hidden than that they were destroyed without leaving a trace behind. That stuff is dangerous. Look how long we have been trying to get rid of the VX here in Indiana.terryehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16609746018265953069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16821859.post-1141314450345804302006-03-02T08:47:00.000-07:002006-03-02T08:47:00.000-07:00Ion Mihai Pacepa was a Romanian intelligence flag ...<A HREF="http://www.washtimes.com/op-ed/20030820-081256-6822r.htm" REL="nofollow">Ion Mihai Pacepa</A> was a Romanian intelligence flag officer, and knew of the Russians contingency plans for removing WMD from East Block countries. he's got interesting things to say.Charlie Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14586506407851173416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16821859.post-1141312833909902032006-03-02T08:20:00.000-07:002006-03-02T08:20:00.000-07:00The reports do deserve further investigation.

Without a definitive answer of "what happened to them?" we can't assume they were destroyed. Nonetheless, can both the air force general's story be true and <I>the Russian's moved them</I> story be true? Both stories seemed to be trying to account for the entire diappearance as opposed to a portion of the disappearance.Barry Dauphinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15808109325931309525noreply@blogger.com
