It's time to cut taxes big time, kick our economy into overdrive, and grind their nasty little Socialist economies into the dust! There is no substitute for lots of CIJ (Cash-In-Jeans). And, of course, seal our borders.

[RusIvan]

Moscow also provided Saddam with lists of assassins available for "hits" in the West++++

I don't think it is true.

Now now your bias is showing. We in America saw Mr. Putin come out from behind France, Germany and the Clintons skirts. Mr. Putin called a meeting and guess who came running.

A little too soon for your disclaimer.

[RusIvan]

That tells me that there are some significant pro-American, or at least pro-neutrality, elements within Russia.+++

Or just there are some media on payroll. russia has now many media outlet. They press whatever you want.
But it is not aways honest. SO one have to be causious.

Fulfill your Gulf War ONE promises before you come asking for more favors.

You pulling that BS again?

The only thing in this story that is disturbing to me is the sharing of intelligence with the Saddam regime. The weapon information, the unclassified information exchanges, and all that are relatively routine.

But, this story does indicate active involvement in sharing information hostile to Britain. True spy stuff.

That indicates a relationship which is much deeper than we previously knew.

[RusIvan]

Mr. Putin called a meeting and guess who came running. +++

That meeting was about great occation the 300 anniversary of Saint Peterburg.
You don't know that. None report it here but any russian know. But it small detail which changes everything?

[FairOpinion]

I don't think it is true.

Well, apparently they have documents in Arabic which show it:

"The documents detailing the extent of the links between Russia and Saddam were obtained from the heavily bombed headquarters of the Iraqi intelligence service in Baghdad yesterday.

The documents, in Arabic, are mostly intelligence reports from anonymous agents and from the Iraqi embassy in Moscow.

The list of assassins is referred to in a paper dated November 27, 2000. In it, an agent signing himself "SAB" says that the Russians have passed him a detailed list of killers. The letter does not describe any assignments that the assassins might be given but it indicates just how much Moscow was prepared to share with Baghdad. Another document, dated March 12, 2002, appears to confirm that Saddam had developed, or was developing nuclear weapons. The Russians warned Baghdad that if it refused to comply with the United Nations then that would give the United States "a cause to destroy any nuclear weapons".

If that weapons grade plutonium story turns out to be the real deal, we'll probably start to ask where they got it. My first guess is Russia, although I wouldn't put it past North Korea and China, either.

I think it's time we just accept that most of the rest of the world wants us either prostrated or dead.

I just noticed that the Initials for France, Russia, Iraq and Germany, spell FRIG-how very appropriate.

The only thing in this story that is disturbing to me is the sharing of intelligence with the Saddam regime.+++

I very doubt it sharing. I would like to see some more solid prof then some media report.
