Update On Former Russian Generals Consulting To Iraq
Ealier today I posted here a story in Russian online newspaper Gazeta.ru about former Russian generals advising the Iraqi military just days before the war. The page was in Russian, and as you can see in the original post, I had the story confirmed by a Russian contact from St. Petersburg. The story now appears on the English section of that site, and you can read it here. Posted By Alan at April 2, 2003 06:17 PM | TrackBackComments
overpaid baby, overpaid..if this is the best the Russians can do (so far) somehow my memory of the cold war days feels cheated... Posted by: rizian at April 2, 2003 06:30 PMNice research. Well done. Posted by: Steve H. at April 2, 2003 06:35 PMI think it's time for all the international aid institutions that we disproportionately fund to call Russia's outstanding loans. I think most all of them are delinquent and, well, I just don't see them deserving much in the way of credit. Posted by: Beachbum at April 2, 2003 06:36 PMWith all of this support from Russia, I don't see how Saddam can win. Russian military support sucks like a nuclear powered vacuum cleaner on steroids.

I think a pretty good case could be made for both fraudulent sales and false advertising. Posted by: thekirk at April 2, 2003 07:38 PMThey dropped out of the loop in 1991 and now they are consultants. If you had told me the Russians sent 300 good NCOs, then I'd be concerned.
