RE: Russia tied to Iraq's missing arms
on the arms-dispersal program from two European intelligence services that have detailed knowledge of the Russian-Iraqi weapons collaboration. Russians collaborating with Iraqis? I thought the Iraqis were supposed to be on the side of Moslem Terrorists, like the Chechens. I guess propaganda has no more reason to be self-consistent than Middle Eastern political behaviour, though. Iraq under Saddam had always been a sort of temporal country in the Muslim world. Since late '70s (just since CIA's protege Saddam ran out of control) Soviet Union collaborated with Iraq in the arms sphere, but as with most governments of the region, used this partnership and the region itself as a playground, not unlike the US. After the collapse of the USSR, Russian weapons collaboration with Iraq gained pure business nature. (Yet it still was an attempt to annoy the US. Probably exactly this aspect was the main driver of all this business thing; after all, Iraq hadn't been the most significant weapons buyer even on the Middle East.) And now Saddam is gone, but not the Iraqi's ~4 bln dollars debt on weapon supplies which the new administration is refusing to return (that is wholly logical from the US side - they have nothing in common with this debt :-). Saddam was a tyrant, but he was the only one who could control the borders and not allow all this Al Quaeda scum to flood Iraq. That was predicted when it was evident that the liberation operation is imminent, that is what we see right now. So, did Russia collaborated with Iraq? Yes, it did. But not with Al Quaeda terrorists.

THE WASHINGTON TIMES There's the Liberal Media at work :-) reliable information The Bush Administration keeps using phrases like reliable information and credible sources.

I guess propaganda has no more reason to be self-consistent than Middle Eastern political behaviour, though. Most of Saddam's most powerful arms were systematically separated from other arms like mortars, bombs and rockets, and sent to Syria and Lebanon, and possibly to Iran, he said. Saddam giving weapons to the Iranians? Fat chance. Syria's not real likely either, though less improbable, and Lebanon's mostly under Syrian control but has enough people there who are anti-Israel that it's possible. Bill Stewart [EMAIL PROTECTED]
