But the country most in the tank with Iraq was Russia. The full Gertz story shows that Russia tried to get Saddam to smell the coffee, but he wouldn't, so they said "you gotta get these wmd out of here or you're gonna help GWB". So he lets the Russians cover their own asses and his. He miscalculates the success of the invasion and his ability to keep free. The Russians get caught on camera, GWB calls them on it, Beslan happens and Putin is in the bear trap.

YAHTZEE!
