Top-secret Iraqi intelligence documents found in Baghdad show that Russia funneled spy secrets to Saddam Hussein and that Moscow was still training Iraqi spies last fall, in violation of U.N. sanctions, reports say.

The captured documents also show that the Kremlin gave Saddam lists of assassins who could do "hits" in the West and that Iraq and Russia signed deals to share intelligence and help get "visas" so agents could go to Western countries, the London Telegraph reported.

HEY GW

Please have another look at Putins soul.

Better yet don't pick anymore friends because FOX in Mexico isn't any better.

So to recap: The U.S. was accused of attacking Iraq for the oil when in reality, the economic benefits in Iraq dealings lay with the Russians, Germans, and French. In addition ALL of these countries failed to abide by the very sanctions on Iraq they had voted to establish.

But America is the evil-doer and France, Russia and Germany are the peaceful nations. They don't seem to mind selling all types of military equipment and even nuclear material to repressive dictatorships. If we cannot get our allies to aid us in the war on terrorism, it could last a couple of generations.

I hope the Bush Administration can find innovative ways to punish these deceitful A$$ES because this type of behavior cannot be tolerated.

"Better yet don't pick anymore friends because FOX in Mexico isn't any better."

I believe it was Harry Truman who said "If you want a friend in Washington, get a dog."

[SquirrelKing]

Gee, I wish I had a spy tie...

[Smedley]

The real shock is that we haven't found the French connections....YET.

They seem to have saved the scariest part for last:

A document dated March 12, 2002, says the Russians warned Iraq that if it refused to comply with the United Nations, it would give the United States "a cause to destroy any nuclear weapons," the Telegraph said.

I haven't read any more about that weapons grade plutonium find for awhile--wonder what Russia might know about that?

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

The floodgates regarding just how deep these countries were involved are opening.........

Yeah, I think Saddam's half-brother was wearing that tie as he crossed over into Syria yesterday

(he was incognito).

[maclogo]

No one.

But you know we have to be "validated" by the Media, don't you?

[gcruse]

The implication (to me) was that if the USG had discovered the paperwork they would have burried it in the interest of "can't we all get along?" with our friends the Russians.

Lawrence Eagleburger dealt with the issue on Hannity and Colmes tonight.

He said, "If I don't stop this, we will be at war with everyone in the world
before I'm through."

There comes a point, he said, where there is really nothing you can do about it.
We can say we don't like it and be tough in economic relationships and our
bilateral relationships.  We can't be responsible for every bird that falls out of
the sky.  We can grump and harrumph at them and make them unhappy they
have irritated the hell out of us, but there are some things we can only go so far with.

What about a JOHN Ritter tie (he IS an actor you know.)
