U.S. authorities say they have verified the authenticity of a recording in which Kuchma is allegedly heard approving a $100 million sale of the sophisticated radar system to Iraq.He's good a comrade of the USA as is Mother Russia.The inspectors' report also mentions that an Iraqi trade delegation visited eastern Ukraine where the Kolchuhas are made in June this year. Ukrainian officials denied that any Iraqi military representatives took part, but documents contradicted that, the report said.
Ukraine also sold at least one Kolchuha system to Russia, according to the report -- raising questions about Moscow's possible role in transferring the sensitive technology to Iraq.

Procurement Suppliers During the Decline Phase, 1991 to 1996
ISG has identifi ed entities from three countries that began supporting Iraq with illicit procurement during the post-Gulf war “decline” phase in the Regime: Romania, Ukraine, and Jordan. Romania and Ukraine had just emerged from the Soviet bloc with an excess of military hardware and expertise and a need for hard currency. The highest-levels of the Ukrainian Government were reportedly complicit in this illicit trade as demonstrated by negotia-tions conducted in regard to the sale of a Kolchuga antiaircraft radar system to Iraq in 2000.
Guess who was PM of the Ukraine at the time of the sale???? Yushchenko!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oops! You screwed up and bolstered my thesis regarding Yuschenko and Iraq!!!!
