Here it is. The info that Saddam got from the Russians was that we would not attack until troops were in place in Turkey. Because that hadn't happened, Saddam did not expect the attack to come when it came.

There's also this:

By telling Saddam that the main attack on Baghdad would not begin until the Army's 4th Infantry Division arrived around April 15, the Russians reinforced an impression that US commanders were trying to create to catch the Iraqis by surprise.

The attack on Baghdad began well before the 4th Infantry arrived, and the Saddam regime collapsed quickly.

Both stories are in among the PreWarDocs, though they are not documents translated by jveritas.
