A letter from the Iraqi embassy in Moscow shows that Russia kept Iraq informed about its arms deals with other countries in the Middle East. Correspondence, dated January 27, 2000, informed Baghdad that in 1999 Syria bought rockets from Russia in two separate batches valued at $65 million (£41 million) and $73 million (£46 million). It also says that Egypt bought surface-to-air missiles from Russia and that Kuwait - Saddam's old enemy - wanted to buy Russian arms to the value of $1 billion. The Russians also informed Iraq that China had bought military aircraft from Russia and Israel at the end of 1999.++++

This things was publicised in russian press. Anyone may read.

Iraq was ally of Soviets. Until 1980 it recieved namy of soviet weaponry. After 1980 Iraq was ally of US. US helped Iraq during Iraq-Iran war.

This report screwed. Rumors mixed with alergations, misrepresentations plus some real facts but which accaully meant nothing.
I call it white propaganda.

Now now your bias is showing. We in America saw Mr. Putin come out from behind France, Germany and the Clintons skirts. Mr. Putin called a meeting and guess who came running.

A little too soon for your disclaimer.

The only thing in this story that is disturbing to me is the sharing of intelligence with the Saddam regime. The weapon information, the unclassified information exchanges, and all that are relatively routine.

But, this story does indicate active involvement in sharing information hostile to Britain. True spy stuff.

That indicates a relationship which is much deeper than we previously knew.

That May be true, However, now 80% of the american people are reading it, they are PISSED, and their President already has Congressional approval to seek out terrorism and those who support it,where ever..;)
