I just caught up on the thread and was going to go back to find the first mention of the Russian question. But since you mention it I'll pose the question here:

On Brit's show, someone--I want to say Jim Angle--said that three days before the war started, a Russian person whose rank or title I'm not sure of, was sent to Iraq and met with Saddam Hussein. His message: If you love your country and for the sake of your country, leave and take the U.S. up on their offer of exile.

Angle said: It is clear which choice Hussein made.

My question is what do we make of this? Done with our knowledge? It wasn't made clear.

My guess is Putin is no fool.

he never directly challanged GWB, and he's way to smarter than to join little france and germany against us.

Saudi Arabia said the same thing and said it publicly.
