[wild baseless speculation]Maybe Bushco got wind that Putin was one of the "foreign leaders" that told Kerry privately that he was rooting for a Bush loss, and Putin needed to make some nice political hay for Bushco.
Or maybe something's going down in Russia soon, and Putin needs to leverage support before he has some sort of crisis on his hands.[/wild baseless speculation]
This whole thing makes no sense. The Brits get (false) intel of the Uranium down in Africa, and that makes a state of a union address to convince us to go to war, but Putin's personal "Iraq is gonna fuck your shit up soon" doesn't get a mention until three years later?
