Well, I guess that's settled then. Whew. For a minute there, I thought our Russian allies might have double crossed us. < / sarcasm >

The other striking thing in Document CMPC-2003-001950 was why the Russians should be particularly worried about the smallest component of the deployment:
4- The ambassador pointed that what worried us (most probably “us” refers to the Russians) was the increase in the number of planes in Jordan where the number of planes in Al Sallt base was as follows: 24 planes F-16 10 planes Tornado 11 planes Harrier He also mentioned that there were 10 A-10 tank destroyers in the Jordanian base of King Faysal.
Why were these relatively small forces so worrisome? My guess is their location near the Iraq-Syrian border and the composition of these air units were suggestive of support for an air assault attack on traffic to and from Syria.
What was moving between Iraq and Syria that would be of concern to the Russians?
fyi
You know if you can't trust the GRU, who can you trust?

How about those WMDs that went away, and the MSM and Rats for Saddam knew the WMD's were out of Iraq before the first stage of the war was over.

LOL!
Hoping we used them for misinformation!
Spies don't lie.
A common find during the initial push to Baghdad were the Russian-style PVS-5 night vision goggles. Now, that is some old technology (to us) so it could have been sitting in storage for years. But we were finding the things in new condition, still in the hard cases. No way to tell, I guess, when it was obtained. Given the "Three Kings" atmosphere in the few months after the liberation of Baghdad, you might see those things pop up on eBay every now and then.
Smoke and a shower of sparks from the polygraph.
Yesterday's thread:
Sure looks that way.....
If the French people were not rioting all the time, they might actually wonder why their government is selling excess oil at costs instead of increasing their supply and lowering their price ?

Russia, Unmasked
************************************************
Closing comments...........
And that brings us to Iran. After finding out that Putin has a habit of supplying tyrannical enemies of the Western nations with military intelligence to use against us, the last country we should trust with Iran's nuclear program is Russia. We can also kiss off the UN; as long as Russia has its veto, that route will lead nowhere. Russia has revealed itself to be a major part of the problem in the Middle East, and we should stop pretending that they are part of the solution.
At least now we know why the CIA and John Negroponte wanted these documents to remain sealed.
The more things change, the more they stay the same..
Ex-Iraqi Official Unveiled as Spy
Former Envoy Worked With French, CIA
******************AN EXCERPT *************************

Deposed Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein's last foreign minister, Naji Sabri, was a paid spy for French intelligence, which later turned him over to the CIA to supply information about Iraq and its chemical, biological and nuclear weapons programs more than six months before the war began in March 2003, according to former senior intelligence officials.
Although some CIA officials met informally with Sabri, who traveled extensively outside Iraq, the French and the CIA used a third-country intermediary when attempting to get information from him about Hussein's inner circle and weapons programs, according to the retired officials who refused to be identified because the information is classified.
***********************************************
This was the Iraqi receiving the Russian Reports....according to comments on the Captain's Quarter Blog.....
See #18, we don't need the documents....
By the way the Washington Post article says nothing about reciving the Russian info on our Invasion Plans.....not sure where he came up with that statement.
Guess it should be held in suspense for the moment!
