Humint Events Online: Is Iraq to the US

Is Iraq to the US

as Afghanistan was to the USSR?

Where of course, the US armed and supplied rebels that fought against the USSR.

Right when the Iraq war started, there were some reports that Russia had given special military equipment to the Iraqi army-- in particular, night-vision goggles as I recall.

It would be ironic if Russia was still supplying the Iraqi insurgency with arms and other military equipment.

It would also be sweet payback for Russia.

According to legend, the Afghani rebels-- the muhajadeen-- eventually turned into militants against the US-- Al Qaeda. Thus to complete the circle, any Russian-armed Iraqi fighters would have to eventually turn against Russia and be the culprits of a massive terrorist attack.
