RUSSIA SPIED ON BLAIR FOR SADDAM... // Top secret documents obtained by the Sunday Telegraph in Baghdad show that Russia provided Saddam Hussein's regime with wide-ranging assistance in the months leading up to the war, including intelligence on private conversations between Tony Blair and other Western leaders...

"America is selling itself out and has been since the 1930's and we still are. Stop dealing with North Korea stop feeding it stop helping it and it will fall same with Russia and all commies. "

Since North Korea broke their agreement with us a year after it was signed in 1994, we should be withholding ALL aid to them. Let China and Russia do their thing with Korea. And perhaps it's time to take our troops out of South Korea. 50 years is enough.

I believe Russian and others pretty much destroyed the UN by trying to subvert the whole organization....

You say that like it's a bad thing.    FReegards!

Just wanted to highlight that statement. Some of us have been clobbered for our opinions that Putin was not a friend of the United States and could not be trusted. Nice to see that more people are getting it!

I never fully trusted Russia/Putin .. mainly because they have a loooong history behind them. .. But I will admit I did have a little hope.

It's one thing for companies in Russia to help Saddam .. it's a TOTALLY different matter that the Government/Putin helped Saddam

Putin blew it BIG TIME

Either Russia is able to decrypt the most sensitive British communications, or Russia has agents who can provide her texts of those communications, and those texts probably enable her to break the cyphers in which the communications were transmitted. Thus, even in the second case, it probably also results that Russia is able to decrypt the most sensitive British communications. We have presumably provided the UK most of our intelligence over Iraq -- as well as a lot over most other subjects. And Russia has apparently shared a lot of this intelligence with Saddam Hussein's Iraq.

Everyone on this thread can imagine what consequences derive from this.

[bart99]

I'm surprised this information isn't being presented on Fox at all............ wonder if other networks have touched it.

[aristeides]

Spying may not be an act of war, but providing this intelligence to Iraq was an extremely unfriendly act.

Exactly. The only problem is they are still spewing forth the same hypocritical garbage, wanting to increase UN authority without admitting that they have proven incapable of following the UN's own rules. I hope the Russian and French violation of sanctions is thoroughly documented and publicized to the world over the next year or so. I don't know if it would be better for the US to leave the UN completely, or to stay on and pay them back on their own terms... for example vetoing resolutions without reading them, as france did.

The 'consequences' were that the WMD was wheeled into syria just before the war and put on Iraqi ships that are circling in radio silence in the arabian sea.

You're wrong there. Conoco and BP are there, probably others, also.

Ivan, lesson 1 is, don't use the code word,"International Law" in mixed company, it instantly puts the mark "C" for Commie on your forehead.+++

Accually I for international law just go. Russia may benefit from it. She may act more freely now.

Old russian proverb is "everything what happens is for better".

Turkey's history with the Armenians should be brought into the forefront of everybody's minds.

Turkey's treatment of the Armenians (and of the Assyrian Christians in what is now Iraq) is a black mark in her history. But keep in mind that, while the orders for the killing came from the Turkish government in Constantinople (Istanbul), most of the killing was done by Kurds.

I don't think it is sexy enough maybe Fox news folks haven't caught off the wires

This kinda story that Fleet Street love Russian leader who happen to be KGB agent put his people spy on another country Leader Tony Blair and his going ons

Now that story for Fleet Street NOT Sexy enough for Fox news

Sexy for Fox news be like ahhhh J Lo marry that Airhead Chowerhead Ben Affleck

[Paradox]

I just don't believe any of this. Nothing will come of it. It's just too too....if you know what I mean. Things like this don't shake out that fast or that easily.

I know exactly what you mean, if this story is true, and these arent forgeries or some Iraqi plot to get us mad at the Russians, then this is a HUGE story that would be bigger than the war itself..

Haliburton is in Russia, also. I know because I was seated with some Russian Halliburton employees at a dinner a few years ago.

Since we're paying 40% of all costs of the UN, I think it could move itself to France and we can build some facilities for the olympics on the UN site..... or convert it to a Conservative University for Americans only. *s*

I don't know what you red. Read again.
"...Article 18.
The rights and liberties of man and citizen shall have direct effect. ..."

Direct effect! It means independent to ward everything including the state. State just support them.

There was something there about Putin that I couldn't put my finger on but I couldn't bring myself to trust him. His expression on his face rarely changes. Add to that he was former KGB and it raised the hair on the back of my neck.

Can remember VP Cheney in the early 90's saying that he would never trust the Russians. Guess I was always on that side of the fence.

The other week Putin stopped some United States reps who go on their bases to verify their disarmament of nukes from entering the Russian bases.

Like you, I hoped for the best! Would say you are right --Putin blew it bigtime.
