In the part of the article that does not appear on this thread, Retired Air Force Lt. General Thomas McInerney (who sometimes appears on Fox News) says he thinks the Bush Administration does not talk about Russia's assistance in moving the weapons to Syria and Lebanon because it does not want to make Russia look bad, as we need Russia's support in the Iran nuclear matter. You might want to connect to the whole Newsmax article as it sets forth other information that supports the belief that Russia was involved in helping Iraq "dispose" of the weapons.
Vallelly (sp?) another Fox military contributor said something to the effect that the administration prefers to look "forward" in dealing with Putin and the Russians and calling them on this would not keep the focus on future dealings.
