Procto,
You sound like the classic Michael Moore expert on Iraq. Remember Russia had a 40 percent controlling stake in Iraqi oil, and shooting down an American fighter is always good for the weapons business.
The Pentagon said they will not investigate the report that the Russians had spies in Centcom.
What does that tell you?
Tells me that the Russians were helping us spread disinfo to Saddam and his generals.
Thank you, Russia!
