If the Iraqis have any of that secret Russian stuff, it would explain why Saddam seemed so sure of himself...

It doesn't seem likely that Russia would sell him the front line stuff--at least not as a government level policy--because of the repercussions. However, Russia doesn't seem to exercise full control over what comes out of there, so it could happen. From what I've heard, Putin is regaining some semblance of control, but things had gotten pretty loose while his predecessor hit the bottle.

It will be intersting to see just how old these shells are.

I read the story about the Russia bio-chem program and they had some nasty bugs etc. The guy who designed a lot of it caught a bug and died a horrible death as a lab experiment.

I sure hope that stuff never finds its way into the open, but you know someday it will.
