Anyone can shrill and post lots of links, which agree with their position. Let the State Department do their work, examine the evidence, and see where this leads. If the Russians are guilty, then they should fry. That said, there is also evidence you want to overlook that bad information was fed to the Iraqis. From the AP article:

The report does not address the possibility that the U.S. military deliberately fed false information to the Russians, expecting them to pass it to Saddam. It does say that "such external sources of information were only one of the fog-generators obscuring the minds of Iraq's senior leadership."

Among the information the Iraqis said they received from the Russians, some of which proved inaccurate, was: That the movement of U.S. troops into southern Iraq from Kuwait was a diversion. In fact it was the main avenue of attack, supported by special forces entering from Jordan and paratroopers flying into northern Iraq.

That the ground assault on Baghdad would not begin until the Army's 4th Infantry Division was in place, around April 15. In fact, the 4th Infantry, whose originally planned invasion route from Turkey was blocked by the Turkish government, was not yet on Iraqi territory when the Baghdad ground assault began April 7. Thus, by design or chance, the information from the Russians actually reinforced a U.S. military deception effort.

Additionally, some reports have listed the Special Forces positions as having been revealed. That I can guarantee you is bogus, and did not happen, because 99.99% of those in the Pentagon would not even know where they were located. Furthermore, to prove this point none of the teams were compromised.

"Anyone can shrill and post lots of links, which agree with their position."

and yet you have not disproven any of those articles, gary. i know it steams you up to have people on this forum that prove what a lying scumbag murdering enemy of america that putin is. he is literally arming every enemy, yet here you cheer him on and attack those of us who point out the truth.
quite telling.

you applaud putin, gary. a man who's actions of selling munitions to iraq helped build IED's that killed american troops. if you want to support the death of american troops, perhaps you're on the wrong forum?
