I remember this story well. It made the last page of my local paper, in the bottom right corner. The major media barely mentioned it. Hmm, I wonder why.

The headline maybe true, but I think Putie would love to have the USA enter their own Soviet version of the Afghanistan war, whether or not he had intelligence. Sometime information is really misinformation.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said yesterday that his intelligence service had warned the Bush administration before the U.S. invasion of Iraq that Saddam Hussein's government was planning attacks against U.S. targets both inside and outside the country.Yes, I always rely on warnings issued by ex-Colonels of the KGB. Yesiree, I certainly do.

Don't look for consistency among the left.
Preemptive strikes against Iraq are evil, unless they are done by Bill Clinton in retaliation for an assassination plot against Bush41 (that never came about).

Hannity mentioned this story a few times on his radio show, but it didn't fit into the MSM's political agenda and therefore the MSM ignored the story. Curiously, the MSM also wonders why most of the public considers them to be biased.

I understand why the MSM would try to ignore it, but why wouldn't the Conservatives trumpet it? Why wouldn't the Administration claim "smoking gun?"

How quickly they forget. Isn't it Pinkus who is running all over screaming about there being no WMDs?

The dimwits will dismiss it. Remember, if reality does not fit their agendas, they simply re-invent it.

"Yes, I always rely on warnings issued by ex-Colonels of the KGB. Yesiree, I certainly do."That's a good point. While I don't think Putin was trying to set us up in this case, Putin's warnings were just one piece of information that would have to be analyzed along with all the other intelligence before any action was taken by the President.

That I don't know. It did create quite a stir on this site when it happened, but its a story that, for the most part, faded away quickly.

The Bush Admin was wise not to call this a "smoking gun", because the President can't make a decision about war based on intelligence from only one source. If we had two or three other countries going public with the same information, including a NATO ally, then Bush could push this harder. We may have had similar intelligence from other countries that was not made public. It's interesting that Putin made a public statement about this information.

Putin was in bed with the Iraqis. He, unlike us, had real spies on the ground there. We had Cahlabi and company. I wouldn't dismiss it so lightly.
