Hey, John.

 JH> This afternoon it was shown that the IAEA paperwork couldn't even give
 JH> an accurate number to what the NYT says is missing.  We have learned
 JH> that the timeline between when the IAEA said the stuff was there, and
 JH> the first US forces got to the bunkers leaves a month long gap during
 JH> which the stuff disappeared.  After that point, there was too much US
 JH> presence in the area to move that kind of quantity without being seen.

 JH> With the last hour, however, ABC News is reporting that there is
 JH> evidence that Russian Special Forces removed the HE from al Qaqaa via
 JH> truck to Syria prior to March, 2003.  That means that it was gone two
 JH> months before the first US troops came anywhere near the place.  At
 JH> this point, nobody knows if the Russian government is involved (meaning
 JH> did Putin know this was going on), but it stands to reason it did,
 JH> since Russian was the recipient of several billion dollars of Iraqi oil
 JH> in the UN oil for food program.

 JH> Of course, the kicker here is that Kerry has been acting like a crazed
 JH> pit bull in attacking President Bush, despite the fact that his own
 JH> people are saying they don't have enough facts to say what happened to
 JH> the stuff.  If this Russian connection holds up, Kerry may as well just
 JH> quit.  He won't have a snowball's chance in hell of winning.

What does he (Kerry) have to lose?  It's not like he could just shut up and 
appear not to be whacko.  That horse has already left the barn. <g>
