simile as sarcasm....
In other words, you lied and can not back up your claim that I ever said or even hinted that "all Russians are Soviets". That makes four times in this one thread that you've committed a fraud or out-right lied about the facts. Your track record for honor, truth and character is abysmal. A decent person would be ashamed of such conduct.

No I don't. It was well documented, that before we invaded Iraq, Russia had invested $21 Billion with Saddam for drilling rights and oil explorations in exchange for arms. Since the invasion, the Russians have been implicated in the UN oil-for-food scandal. Yet in the UN debates before the invasion, Russia claimed their opposition to the invasion was based on the purest of motives. Russia came into this debacle with dirty hands and a national reputation at stake, and it is a gross stretch of credibility to suppose that they wouldn't also do all they could do to cover up their complicity in arming and supporting a terror-sponsoring regime.
Contrary to what you've tried to claim on this thread, Bill Gertz's story was backed by, not one, but two Pentagon officials as well as by two European intelligence agencies. Subsequent to publication, the White House Confirmed that indeed, some of the information that Gertz published, did come from those European intelligence agencies. Adding even more plausibility to Gertz's story is the fact that now other defense officials have come forward to claim that the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA, nee NIMA, nee DMA) has satellite photo evidence of long truck convoys leading away from Iraqi weapons sites and heading to the Syrian border just prior to our invasion.
And what did you offer in contradiction to these seemingly well founded articles? A false and fraudulent hit piece, cloaked as a news article from a supposedly legitimate news site, but which, in fact, emanated straight out of the Libertarian Party's national office.
Give it up, Destro, you've chosen the wrong cause to champion. And the character of your championing leaves little to recommend it.
