Retired Russian Generals running Iraqi Command and Control
WABC radio : Batchelor Alexander Loftus | April 8, 2003 | WABC Batchelor Alexander Loftus

Report of John Loftus WABC radio Batchelor Alexander Program

'Retired' Russian generals Atelov and Matsov have been in charge of Iraqi command and control. That is why no communications from Iraqi command and control have been intercepted since the start of the war. The Russians have been directing everything.

The Russian convoy headed for Syria with the Russian ambassador was shot up (30 minute gunfight) because the secret communications equipment was being taken out. This equipment uses encryption that connects with the Russian equivalent of NSA.

When asked whether US forces seized any equipment John Loftus said: "No comment".

With regard to the latest bomb on Saddam Loftus said it was a 'sting' operation again carried out by a Russian advisor. Iraqis were attempting to see if the US could intercept their underground communications so they played an old tape with Saddam arranging with his sons to meet at a restaurant.

The US fell for the sting and bombed the restaurant.

(The possibility of a 'sting' apparently has been mentioned on Fox)

Loftus still maintains Saddam was killed on the first night.

Correction:

I misheard the names of the Russian generals.

The correct spelling is:

Achalov and Maltsev

Great fiction, but then again I wouldn't be surprised at all. I would've captured those stinking Russians myself.

The obvious question is why? What does Russia have to gain, they had to know we would smash these guys silly. What do the generals gain?

Who knows, but it sure does not add up to me.

They are doing a hell of a job too. Soon they will be blowed up real good.

They are finding out firsthand just how antiquated their equipment and tactics are. Remember the Afganistan war they could not win. Those GPS jammers really kick but too. We targeted every one that was turned on and scored a direct hit on every one.
