It appears that Russia supplied us with information that Iraq was planning anti-US (in and out of the US) terrorism when we invaded.

Here are some little clips from the article....

Quote:Russia gave the Bush administration intelligence after the September 11 attacks that suggested Saddam Hussein's regime in Iraq was preparing attacks in the United States, President Vladimir Putin (search) said Friday........


......After Sept. 11, 2001, and before the start of the military operation in Iraq, the Russian special services, the intelligence service, received information that officials from Saddam's regime were preparing terrorist attacks in the United States and outside it against the U.S. military and other interests," Putin said........


......A commission investigating the Sept. 11 attacks in the United States reported this week that while there were contacts between Al Qaeda and Iraq, they did not appear to have produced "a collaborative relationship.".......

OK, guys let's hear it. One of the countries that was dead set against us going in there, is now admitting to giving us information about attacks being planned. Does anyone not see how this was a preemptive strike now?
