Russia 'warned U.S. about Saddam'
Friday, June 18, 2004 Posted: 12:46 PM EDT (1646 GMT)
MOSCOW, Russia (CNN) -- Russian intelligence services warned Washington several times that Saddam Hussein's regime planned terrorist attacks against the United States, President Vladimir Putin has said.
The warnings were provided after September 11, 2001 and before the start of the Iraqi war, Putin said Friday.
The planned attacks were targeted both inside and outside the United States, said Putin, who made the remarks during a visit to Kazakhstan.


Let's see.....Putin warned us in 2001 that Saddam was planning attacks against the US, and by the time we went to war with him in 2003, he had executed two of those attacks. Oh wait, Saddam never attacked us. And when we did invade Iraq we found out that Saddam had no WMDs and was a paper tiger. How could Putin have gotten it so wrong?

Do you ever think through your accusations?

Reports of collaboration by Iraq and Al Qaida were nothing new.

They certainly weren't. Saddam had collaborated with Iran, Sudan, and bin Laden in Eastern Africa and the CIA knew this.
