President Vladimir Putin said Friday he welcomed the fall of Saddam Hussein, but called the U.S.-led war in Iraq illegitimate and a threat to international law.
Speaking after a summit with German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder and French President Jacques Chirac, Putin signaled Russia was ready to cooperate with U.S.-led coalition forces on reconstruction, saying Moscow would consider writing off Baghdad's debts.
But Putin also criticized the United States for failing to find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, which he said was the only justification for war.
"Even in the most acute moment of the fight for its survival, the Iraqi regime did not use such (weapons)," Putin said. "If in the last moment of its existence it did not use them, it means they do not exist."
Even after not being involved in Aghanistan or Iraq... The Islamist hit a school in Beslan... Just as they planned to hit Spain again AFTER Spanish forces were withdrawn... Just goes to show, you cannot trust the word of the people attacking non-muslim countries..
