We already knew France was passing banned military equipment to Iraq as late as last year, and now comes the news that Russia is also passing military equipment to Iraq. One Russian firm is helping the Iraqi military deploy electronic jamming equipment against U.S. planes and bombs, while two other Russian firms have sold antitank missiles and thousands of night-vision goggles in violation of United Nations sanctions, The Washington Post reported in Sunday editions.
And then they have the gall to complain about our U2 flights.
UPDATE: Not suprisingly, Russia is denying everything. The allegations seem awfully specific for this to just be a bogus report though.
