A Pentagon official who publicly disclosed information showing Russian involvement in moving Iraqi weapons out of that country has been dismissed.
John A. Shaw, the deputy undersecretary of defense for international technology security and formerly an aide to Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld, was forced to leave his position Dec. 10 as the result of a "reorganization" that eliminated his job, defense officials said.
Mr. Shaw said he had been asked to resign for "exceeding his authority" in disclosing the information, a charge he called "specious."

GPS jammers? Not many countries that build them, nor were they around in 1990. Iraq had them.
I don't think the Russians are playing against us as much as they are just hard up for cash (Now it's begining to get better) so they were willing to make crummy deals with rough nations or even potential enemies like China.

I really don't care what you think. I did use the search engine and came up empty.
I don't want you to care what I "think." I'd just like you to do a proper search and be big enough to take criticism. Bugger off!
I did a proper search. GET A LIFE!

An exact title search did this. Still does.
If you had any class you would have asked the mods to delete your thread when I first pointed it out to you.
