Where Did they Go?

The disappearing explosives story seems poised to blow up in Kerry's face. Follow my flight of fancy:

1. As the Washington Times is reporting (thanks Drudge), it appears Russian operatives moved the explosives in question in the weeks leading up to the war. Remember, there where incidents involving US forces and Russian "diplomats" on the Syrian border as the war began. At one point the US shot up and detained a Russian convoy.
2. We knew that heavy truck traffic into Syria probably meant some of Saddam's weapons were on the move to Damascus.
3. We probably have satellite pictures of trunks hauling arms out of the Al-Qaqaa, and probably had a good idea the place would be picked over by the time we got there. Nothing says "take me" like a International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) seal on it, so you can bet those items were the first to go.
4. We're not ready to invade Syria and at some point we will want Russians cooperation in the War on Terror so there was little reason to go public with this intelligence. The Russians may eventually tell us know what they hauled out of Iraq. Maybe they already have.
5. Now here is where it gets very speculative. John Kerry is on the intelligence committee. What are the chances he already knew all this and his current "outrage" is merely disingenuous campaign rhetoric. Or, perhaps he was too busy campaigning and just missed that briefing. Either way there is the real possibility his exploitation of this story is interfering with current US intelligence operations.

So the question is what did John Kerry know an when did CBS, the New York Times, the UN and the CIA tell him about it.
