Or maybe....."The Russians are Coming"

© 2001 WorldNetDaily.com

The U.S. and United Kingdom will turn to Russia as the
primary provider of ground troops in the Afghan
campaign, reports DEBKA-Net-Weekly – and Moscow
is preparing to mobilize up to 1 million soldiers for the
invasion and occupation.

U.S. and UK military and intelligence sources have
concluded that at least 400,000 ground troops will be
needed for a successful campaign in Afghanistan,
according to DEBKA. But even a combined force
between the U.S. and UK cannot mobilize numbers like
that without the politically risky method of conscription.

Therefore, reports the intelligence service, Russia is
stepping into the void.

Moscow, DEBKA reports, has been holding planning
sessions around the clock for 10 days on the new
mobilization.

The conditions posed by Russian army chiefs for meeting
President Vladimir Putin's demand for this force were:

The entire force would not be fully engaged before
winter was over – meaning April 2002 at the
earliest.

The United States would carry all the costs – not
only for the creation and training of the Afghanistan
expedition army, but also for setting up a
comparable force for operation in the former
Soviet republics of Central Asia and Chechnya.
