Funny, this was all on Drudge two days ago...

The left rolled out the father of the first casualty of the Iraq War, that Marine from Camp Pendleton. Someone should ask him what he thinks of the Russians giving out our troop positions. I suppose it will still be Bush's fault.

We simply must pull whatever "favored trading partner" status or the like from Russia...they tried to lead to our defeat...that's not the actions of a friend, or even an neutral party.

Oh golly, gee whiz, certainly that can't be true. Russia! Say it isn't so.

They are so red, inside and out and we call them friends. Politically; friends! No wonder Stella won a cool million over hot coffee at Mickey Dee's. We're stupid. Does the public buy that crapola or just the politicians? I'd really love to know.

God help us. We can't seem to help ourselves.

Let's face it, Russia is an evil empire and so is China.

Russian diplomats passed detailed but sometimes inaccurate information

Ha! That's cool.
Bush obviously asked Putin to help with this basic war tactic, the misinformation ploy. Nice to see the Russians lent us a hand.
It worked, that's for sure.

Yes, Finally they have.....but why is THIS the only information from the documents they are focused on? I wonder why none of the information that would attack the whole "Bush Lied" mantra is simply being ignored, except for a few small reports/interviews on Fox. Is it because they haven't figured out yet how to spin it to the left's advantage?

I just got a reminder from a relative, who is lurker about a previous FR thread on the Russian involvement in Iraq before our invasion in 2003.

'We didn't fly to Baghdad to drink coffee' (Former Russian Generals help Iraq prepare for war)
Gazeta.ru ^ | 04/02/03 | Alexander Kornilov


Posted on 04/02/2003 4:02:24 PM PST by Smogger




Gazeta.Ru has obtained sensational evidence proving the involvement of a group of former Soviet generals in preparing the Iraqi army for war against the United States. The generals in question refused to discuss their degree of involvement, but admitted that just before the beginning of the US-led campaign against Iraq they received state awards from the Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein.

Photos, which Gazeta.Ru has acquired, show an awards ceremony (namely awards, our sources emphasized, and not gifts), involving two very prominent Russian generals.

They are retired Soviet officers, Col.-Gen. Vladimir Achalov and Col.-Gen. Igor Maltsev. The former completed his military career as the Soviet deputy defence minister, after being the Air-Borne Troops commander and the first and last Soviet commander-in-chief of the rapid-reaction forces. The latter resigned from the post of the chief of the Main Staff of the Soviet Air Defence. In 1991 both generals backed the GKChP, (the State Committee for the State of Emergency, set up by a group of Gorbachev opponents with the goal of supplanting him and preventing the disintegration of the USSR) and were consequently dismissed from military service.
