Is the "Russia Took Them" story dead already!!!!

[skypilot]

Did anyone one besides the Washington Times pick up on the story about the Russians moving the explosives out of Iraq? The story doesn't seem to be growing legs and even folks here at DU seem to have stopped talking about it. Did it die that quickly?

1. CNN and FOX are still talking about it

2. That means it's a lie for sure.-

3. If it didn't, it should have

It was monumentally silly and self-defeating from the moment it was uttered.

It made Bush look even worse, than just 'overlooking' them in the race to Baghdad.

4. MSNBC was reporting it as of 12:00 noon eastern time.

Not sure if they are at this time.

6. That was around the time that I first head about it...

...here at work. A bit of talk about it, a couple threads here at DU and then POOF!

7. update, MSNBC just repeated it 1:45 p.m. eastern time

5. Silly, baseless accusations deserve to be looked into...

Not "wild" conclusions based on known facts and sober analysis!

It's obvious the russians took them. Either the russians or.... SATAN!
