Russians Helped Iraq with WMD
An article culled by the FT from the NYT about Russians assisting Iraq with its long range balistic missile programme here.
Um well of course it did. The money provided by the US to fight Iran principally went to the USSR in buying weapons (at the height of the Cold War - go figure.) The French got in on the act as well, did not see anyone from Halliburton though. Just about all that was left of Iraq ballistic missile programme by the time of Iraq 2 were Scud Missiles (what's the difference between British Rail and a Scud Missile? British Rail actually kills people.)
Anyway they weren't really working for the Russian government but for a private company - probably was Halliburton after all. And of course the Russian government filled as it is by ex-KGB was not in the slightest interested in what its citizens were doing, especially those who undoubtedly still struggle to get an international passport.
What utter bullshit - surely the headline should be: Bush team floats reason why Iraq has no WMD.
