A U.S. official who asked not to be named said Washington decided to make its accusations public late last week when it discovered Russian company technicians in Baghdad aiding the Iraqis with the jamming system after the U.S.-led war began. "They are there in Baghdad ... trying to make the system work, the jamming system," said the U.S. official.
"It was the discovery that there are ... Russian technicians helping to make this GPS jamming work in Baghdad that prompted the internal debate in the U.S. government about what to do and (whether) to go public," the official added.
Russia... "the new France."

If we find Russians, take them out, summarily shoot them with an AK & dump them in the Tigris river....(just my opinion) Since the Russians say that they aren't there anyways, so who would miss them?

Rather, nostalgia for the old Soviet Union, perhaps?
Well Putin, if you want to escalate this incident into another Cold War drama, go right ahead...

Hopefully these clowns will 'buy the farm' when the REAL bombing starts.

Methinks we should address the bodies to Mr. Putin personally so he gets the message.
To: thoughtomator
Perhaps we should tell Mr. Putin that we may "not help" the Chechens just like the Russians are "not helping" the Iraq regime.
To: jospehm20
Well, we wouldn't help the Chechens anyway, they are a part of the larger problem that we are working on solving. Eventually we will have to help Russia in Chechnya. I don't think we will have all that much choice in the matter - if Chechnya becomes a zone of escape from the USA, plenty of radicals will be heading there.
To: Sabertooth
Bright Idea: don't complain about it. Let them succeed in setting it up. Trace the jamming signal and ... reach out and touch whoever and/or whatever is at the source point. Depending on the heft of the touch and the proximity of the technicians, they might really become non-existent.

Re #1
If this is true, Russia is not even sitting on the fence. She is on the other side. We will see if any Russians will be caught.
Not long ago, Russian oil company was caught talking to Iraqi opposition and kicked out by Saddam. I do not know how much good this technical assistance will do for Russia. Especially if America wins eventually despite their interference.
So what went on the Crawford Ranch between Dubya and Vlad ? Apparently they failed to reach any deal on Iraq, contrary to my expectation.

Re #14
It would be nice if Americans will at least get hold of identifiable body (dead or alive). It is even better if American SpecOps can catch them and make them confess on TV.
To: Sabertooth
The Polish GROM commandos should round up all Russians in Iraq for questioning. Considering the Russian government denies their presence in Iraq, we could deny having them in custody. We should extract every bit of information we can from them.
To: Sabertooth
Good find, Saber. BAD news. A speed bump on the road to victory, imho . . .

You are right. Of course I would not want us to help a bunch of radical Islamists. I was only saying make the suggestion and see if it works. Nothing lost in trying.
