The Russians gave Saddam intelligence garnered from Russian sources in the US intelligence services [probably a DIA or more a G2 source] that predictably confused rather than enlightened the imbecile Iraqi dictator.
First, intelligence from the Russians was always a major source of Saddam's knowledge-base, from the time former FonMin Primakov used to consult with the Iron Man of Baghdad. US intelligence also helped Saddam during his long war with Iraq.
But an after-action report by US intelligence in a book by Anthony Cordesman, I believe, revealed that paranoid schizo Saddam rarely took intelligence at face value, was lied to by his Field Commanders more often than not, and in general, did not know how to use good intell even when he got it, as he was a moronic commander.
Second, what about the new dwarf succeeding the place of former five foot two Stalin? Is Putin, a former KGB spy boss, playing the double games his genius Markus Wolfe played while the new dwarf ran East Germany's secret police? Little Vladimir is hosting the G8 at St. Petersberg while he supports Iran in the UN, and is unmasked as helping an enemy of the US. All this while supporting a vicious dictatorship in Belarus and trying to subvert democracy in the Ukraine.
Remember when people used the word "honest" as the first description that came to mind when the name of GWB came up? A Pew Survey says the first word now is "incompetent" and that "idiot" intervenes before "honest" limps in as description number six!
If Bush thinks he can trust Putin because of what he felt looking in the short Russky's eyes, then P.T. Barnum had GWB in mind when he said one was born every minute.
"Much have I seen and known; cities of men And manners, climates, councils, governments, ...the fortune of us that are the moon's men doth ebb and flow like the sea, being govern'd, as the sea is, by the moon" [Henry IV, I.ii.31-33] HISTORY NEVER REPEATS ITSELF, BUT IT OFTEN RHYMES "There is a Providence that protects idiots, drunkards, children and the United States of America." Otto von Bismarck
