1. I bet it wasn't just RUSSIA; the vast majority of the world said HELL NO
Edited on Sat Mar-25-06 01:39 AM by LynnTheDem
to bush's illegal immoral unjust "supreme crime" war of aggression against the people of Iraq.

Funny thang, AMERICA violated the law, NOT Russia (if they did pass intel to Iraq), or any other nation (if any) who helped Iraq.

America is the bad guy in all of this. Period.

2. Well, THIS can't be true.... we KNOW...
...that blivet looked into ol' Pooty-Poot's eyes and saw his, um... something or other. Anyway, Pooty-Poot and blivet are FRIENDS.

After all, friends don't let friends walk into firefights, do they...?

innocently,
Bright

8. We gave top secret troop strength info to a foreign power?
Isn't this why that info is restricted to Americans who need to know?

11. Oh, my. THEY're doing what WE're doing?
Goodness.

How do you get electronic surveillance of exact troop strength and plan of attack? Were our people talking on unsecured phones? Are we sending these plans thru our email?

If we didn't give it to them, how did we manage to let them get their hands on it?

9. The thing that is really BIZARRE is that
all day this has been on the US news with the concept that the information was accurate, but it didn't seem to effect Saddam's choices. . . BUT I just got through watching the BBC news on PBS about an hour ago, and they are reporting that the information was faulty and useless. Well which is it? Seems to me that the administration is just trying to cause a stir about Russia so they can discredit them in their support of Iran having a right to have pursue nuclear energy.
