The above will not copy.
Saddam and KGB link, this report was published and posted in Google groups in 1999.
Arms, money, training, it is long and you will want to read it.
The links are good, even shows where to find out about Saddams WMD, his secret route and some of the newer missile improvements he got from Russia.

Comment from your second link:
"It is indeed curious that Primakov is probably Clinton's
favorite.
"Not too surprising if you recall that Clinton paid a student pilgrimage to Breznev where Clinton learned how to set up the Whitewater-Mena mafia."
Snip: “We don’t think anything’s missing,” spokesman Don Ami of the National Nuclear Security Administration said. “We just think there’s a discrepancy.”
US eyes relaxed rules for foreign scientists
Snip: Scientists are cautiously optimistic that the U.S. government will relax some proposed security restrictions that would limit foreign-born researchers' access to sensitive technology when the rules are issued next year.
"If these rules were implemented as suggested, it would have a dramatic and very harmful effect," said Tobin Smith, senior federal relations officer at the Association of American Universities (AAU). "It's antithetical to what we do at universities," he told The Scientist.
In March, 2005, the Commerce Department's Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) issued proposed regulations to restrict scientists born in India, China, Russia, and certain other countries from using sensitive laboratory equipment, or having access to information or technology with military potential without an export license. The Department of Defense followed suit in July by requiring these foreign-born nationals wear special identification badges and be restricted to "segregated work areas" at universities and companies conducting unclassified DOD-sponsored research. Currently, an exemption for basic research has allowed these scientists to have access to sensitive technology while working in U.S. academia and industry.
