I didn't notice any factories or other productive facilities being built

Me neither, but they would probably have been classified anyway. I know they are spending a lot of money upgrading their military, we may get to see how well that worked out for them sooner than we think.

What is shocking to me is that we failed to notice the Russians massing all those armored weapons and tanks, in what we knew was a hot zone for just that kind of action.

We are supposed to be able to tell whether a soldier has shaved, with our satellites, but we can't see a column of tanks on the move into an allies country?

Either we did know, and ignored it, or we have a bunch of incompetent, or worse traitors, working in our intelligence agencies, and State Department.

Well we know there is a traitorous left-wing cabal in the CIA working directly against US interests. Mary McCarthy and other scum who leaked info on what was working for us for one and Valerie Plame for another.

Nobody seems to have remarked much on the fact that Val, desk jockey though she was, was supposedly working on keeping track of WMD proliferation and yet she, working with her scum husband, did their best to CONCEAL the fact of Iraq trying to get yellow cake Uranium. Just recently we learned they did get plenty of it which has now been sent to Canada for safekeeping.

Whoever she was actually working for, it was NOT USA. State Dept. kind of goes without saying. I remember my father saying he wasn't sure whose side they were on over 4 decades ago. I didn't know what he meant then; I do now.

You raise a good point about the failure of US Intel. I don’t know the answer to that......but it seems we should have photoItel/RadioIntel/or eyeballed with people on the ground, the formation of their assets long before they launched.....and the other possibility coming out of the conspiracy fever swamp is we knew all along and wanted it to happen as a pretext do smack the russkies......ha, we ain’t that clever !
