If Russia had pulled off a coup, WHO would be in charge there and HOW would the country of Iraq (or the world) be better off?
let's see...
Russia would control their oil thus putting the US in an even worse situation regarding oil supplies
Most likely, a new dictator would be running the place.
Most likely, international terrorists would still have a place to hang out in safety.
I think that things have gone as well as we could have dreamed of. Sure, soldiers have died. That is sad, but that is war. Sure, fighting continues but not as much as the media wants us to believe. Sure, some freaks (Who probably watched too much MTV) abused some prisoners.
The fact this guy claims that Iraq is in complete chaos proves that he has an axe to grind and is a liar.
The vast majority of the millions of Iraqis are working, going home, enjoying life with their families, and praying for the day that elections come and they can decide the fate of their own nation.
More people died in Detroit last week due to violent crimes than in Iraq. This is just another anti-American (aka Democrat) book intended to attack Bush.
According to the author Russia warned America Saddam was planning attacks and offered to help - we slapped their face with our no and according to the book the no came as a form of a CIA leak to Egypt so she can snitch on Russia's coup plotters or something close to it.
