My question is, why on earth would we tell anyone of an attack plan in the first place?

Looks like our dis information campaign worked. No doubt in my mind that we knew that the Russians were helping Saddam. Wasn't it the Russians who persuaded Saddam that we would never attach, and helped catch them with there turbines down.

All signifacant military victory is based on deception.

I didn't catch it all so don't take it as gospel, but Brett Baer on Fox News was just reporting that the Pentagon released info to him that came - as I understood it - from Iraqi memos. The memos said the Russians received the information about troop numbers from a source inside "Centcom."

Baer's report, at least, suggested to me they were talking about a spy for the Russians.

We didn't tell them, they penetrated our intel and command services. The KGB didn't go anywhere...it just changed it's name. Every nation has it's own agenda, I for one will never trust the Russians.
