There is no question that the Russian effort to remove Iraqi WMD systems was the most successful intelligence operation of the 21st century. The Russians were able to move hundreds of tons of chemical, biological and nuclear materials without being discovered by CIA satellites or NSA radio listening posts.

"There is a clear sense on how effective they were," noted Shaw.

"The fact that the CIA did not know shows just how successful the Russian operation was," he concluded.

Scary!

We had surveillance over Iraq day and night, both air and space. We had CIA agents bribing half the generals to stay in their barracks and half the Sheiks not to fight. We had Iraqies working for us as eyes and ears all over the place waiting to replace Saddam....and we never knew this?

Either we are a bunch of idiots or this is tin foil.
