[Cicero]

Russia has issued a steady stream of propaganda against our Iraqi war effort. No doubt some of it is because they were long-time patrons of Iraq. They had large economic interests and loans which they may never recover. And they are probably jealous because we cleaned up so fast in Afghanistan and Iraq while they were unable to deal with similar problems in Afghanistan and Chechnya.

And they are probably jealous because we cleaned up so fast in Afghanistan and Iraq while they were unable to deal with similar problems in Afghanistan and Chechnya.

We were sucessful so quickly, because the vast majority of the population supported us. Can you imagine any of the countries where the Russian military has occupied actually wanting the Russians there? I don't think so either.
