And the Russians. We already know they sold them night vision technology just before and during the war.

The Russian Night Vision equipment has been available here in the USA for quite some time now. You can find night vision equipment advertised in many different magazines and catalogs for really cheap prices. If the Russians were selling it to the USA, whats wrong with them selling it to Irag, unless there was a specific UN resolution preventing it.

I certainly didn't enjoy the fact that Iraq had night vision capabilities, but the Russians are flooding the world with this equipment. I don't know if the Russian Government is selling the night vision equipment, or newly privatised Russian companies. The Russians are just trying to make money selling military hardware. They have little else to sell so how can you really blame them, especially if you can buy the same stuff in the USA.
