Otherwise bush* would have cited this. Clearly there has never been whiff of such warnings from Russia. This is the kind of stuff we should come to expect from Karl Rove. Even Russian analysts are speculating that Putin is helping bush* get re-elected.

1. Wonder if Shrub was wearing a blue dress when
he talked Vladimir into coming up with this.

2. Interesting that Putin would choose to say this
Over one year after the fact.

Wonder what they're bribing Pooty Poot with.

3. Exactly
I mean, exactly WHAT was Iraq supposed to attack us WITH after September 11? Shoot bullets up into the air and hope they magically flew to America?

Or maybe they hoped that one old sarin shell would do the trick?

What a joke.

Putin is either mainlining crack or has completely forgotten the total lack of WMDs. Or both. How would SH have had the CAPABILITY to do such a thing?

And the 9/11 commission just called any links bushco made between SH and al-Queda a crock, too. So there goes that.

It smells to high heaven.

And yes, is a crock of shit.

13. I think this is very funny, Sir.
Do you have an opinion as to what Mr. Putin is up to?

5. Then why was he adamantly opposed to us going to war?
It doesn't make sense at all. Yes, they are going to try and attack you but you better not invade!

Agreed. This is a crock of shit.

6. This was supposed to be before the war
If they really had this information wouldn't it have been in Powell's presentation to the United Nations? The only stuff they had was make-believe. This would have given credibilty. If true.

8. You have a point there.
Bush never stopped flagellating about the British intel that turned out to be a joke, so why not use this instead.

11. Putin did not want us going to Iraq.
Perhaps he had blatantly violated the U.N. sanctions. If he had and this was discovered by us would that be a case for blackmail?

14. Otherwise the 9/11 commission would have referenced it too, since
Puddin claims to have advised sortly after 9/11. It is BS and CNN reported that many sources believe it is a political ploy on Puddin's part to get Dubya re-elected.

POOOPOOO PUUDDDINNN
