Re: Russia Again Refuses Iraq Troop Request

Jay, Do you ever find these Stratfor reports depicting reality? I used to get their info when I was working in dicey parts of the world and while their characterizations were helpful, their detailed views were often wrong.

Perhaps they are just an echo of the flawed processes at their former employer........

Your assessment of the article was on target.

Jim
