BAGHDAD, Iraq  — The Russian government had sources inside the American military command as the U.S. mounted the invasion of Iraq, and the Russians passed information to Saddam Hussein on troop movements and plans, according to Iraqi documents released as part of a Pentagon report.

What's new?

The world hates us


--------------------
A psychotic world we live in. The madmen are in power. How long have we known this? Faced this? And--how many of us do know it? Perhaps if you know you are insane then you are not insane. Or you are becoming sane, finally. Waking up. I suppose only a few are aware of all this. Isolated persons here and there. But the broad masses... what do they think? All these hundreds of thousands in this city, here. Do they imagine that they live in a sane world? Or do they guess, glimpse, the truth...?

Why are we surprised? We armed Afganistan against Russia in the 90's. They're just returning the favor.

But I still think Russia needs to get owned again. They need to get the message. "Russia, stfu already. You aren't a world power. You haven't been since the 60's. Stop trying your hand at global politics and go back to the ice cave you came from."

You mean the 80's? During the Cold War when the Soviet Union was the posterchild of the communist evil empire? Not exactly the same circumstances persay.


Anyway, who cares? A lot of good that intel did them since we had control of the country within, what....5 days?

KGB intel at that point was probably ridiculous with the shape Russia was in, but it is a little bit of a surprise since Vladimir Putin was supposed to be America's good buddy post-911
