The Seattle Times: Nation & World: Russians passed info to Saddam, files claim
Russian diplomats passed detailed, though sometimes inaccurate, tactical information about American troop movements to senior Iraqi officials even as U.S. troops closed in on Baghdad during the 2003 invasion of Iraq, according to Iraqi intelligence documents captured by the U.S. military.
If this is true it is incridebly damnimg evidince that maybe our ties with russia after the coldwar weren’t worth much if they were giving sensitive military troop movements to iraq. Now this could all blow over and turn out to be false evidence fabircated by russia haters and passed on to the us media but nevertheless it’s pretty extreme accusations.
