Yah, that and the fact Putin was a top KGB official for years....

I think they (the Russians) will try, but Saddam won't accept. I also think we're going in with or without ANYONE else, it'll be painted as a matter of U.S. domestic security, period. Ideally, we'd just lay out an ultimatum (outside of the U.N.) with a hard deadline, he turns it down, and we declare war on Iraq and leave it at that. The major benefit of this approach is that we get to keep all the goodies (oil) as war reparations and to find the occupation trust account. The downside of this approach is obvious, although dismantling NATO may not be all bad, it allows us to greatly decrease the size and cost of the standing military deployed in Europe. Let the Frenchies and the Krauts fend for themselves (and pay for it) and see how they like it.
