"Shaw suggested that the answer of why the Bush administration had systematically "ignored Russia's involvement" in evacuating Saddam's WMD stockpiles "could be much bigger than anyone has thought," but declined to speculate what exactly was involved.
Retired Air Force Lt. Gen. Thomas McInerney was less reticent. He thought the reason was Iran.
"With Iran moving faster than anyone thought in its nuclear programs," he told NewsMax, "the administration needed the Russians, the Chinese and the French, and was not interested in information that would make them look bad.""
At least in my opinion, everyone who has an inkling of the powerful eyes of the US intelligence community knows the government is well aware of the movements of Saddam prior to his removal in Iraq. I find the most likely reason why the Administration has been tursely quiet about this story is in fact a more important decision to not bring another era of Soviet "complications." The world of the politics of defense is not a pretty one...
