What would this, if true, lead us to believe?
Does anyone else find this disturbing?
If Russia had pulled off a coup, WHO would be in charge there and HOW would the country of Iraq (or the world) be better off?
let's see...
Russia would control their oil thus putting the US in an even worse situation regarding oil supplies
Most likely, a new dictator would be running the place.
Most likely, international terrorists would still have a place to hang out in safety.
I think that things have gone as well as we could have dreamed of. Sure, soldiers have died. That is sad, but that is war. Sure, fighting continues but not as much as the media wants us to believe. Sure, some freaks (Who probably watched too much MTV) abused some prisoners.
The fact this guy claims that Iraq is in complete chaos proves that he has an axe to grind and is a liar.
The vast majority of the millions of Iraqis are working, going home, enjoying life with their families, and praying for the day that elections come and they can decide the fate of their own nation.
More people died in Detroit last week due to violent crimes than in Iraq. This is just another anti-American (aka Democrat) book intended to attack Bush.
And Tenet resigned for 'personal reasons' ... poor guy takes everything too personally. /sarcasm
No. It means Russia tried to preempt our preemption and keep the Iraqi people enslaved. That would have kept Iraq as a significant market for them and kept the gravy train of OUR MONEY in the form of oil for food flowing.
Instead, we have liberated this people, cut off the fools in France, Germany and Russia from their gravy train and established a democratic foothold smackdab in the middle of the middle east. Not too bad if you ask me.
Saddam didn't really need any help sniffing-out potential coup-plotters -- his survival instincts were well-honed. This is the kind of allegation that really can't be substantiated to any great degree. People who want to believe it will, however.
