They did call the Russian troops and equipment into Afghanistan...but this sounds incredible, I will grant you.

Could the Paks be flying low to the ground to avoid radar?

[Trust but Verify]

This is nonsense. There is no such thing as 'flying below radar' in a mountainous country! there is no way on earth they could pull this off without us knowing about it. This would be plausible only if Bill Clinton were President. Bush and his tam would NEVER allow it.

They mangled the details, and it was hardly a scoop to claim that the Russians were going to assist the Northern Alliance. So far there have been very, very few Russian troops - what ever happened to the million troops that Debka claimed were going to be sent?

Whoa, whoa, whoa . . . hold it right there.

Their "call" was that Russia was mobilizing 100,000 troops in order to invade Afghanistan. What actually happened was that the Russian military advisers everyone already knew were working with the NA have now set up a base of operations in a vacant lot in Kabul. They're about 80 strong, not 100,000.
