The LA Times' Moscow correspondent writes today that Putin's announcement was "a move whose timing is widely seen in Russian political circles as an attempt to support Bush's reelection."
As I recall, Putin is one of the few people who believed before the war that Iraq didn't have WMD. Did you believe him then?

Of couse it was seen that way, because that is what it is, but it does not necessarily make it untrue.
I don't recall that was Putin's position on WMD. Do you have a cite? Either way, I'm not sure it is relevant. His beliefs on WMD are speculative, but he has direct knowledge of what was told to the US in 2002. And even if what was told was untrue, it does significantly bolster Bush's case for war.
