#1 Remember the convoy of Russian "diplomats" that didn't follow their advertised egress route from Bagdad and got whacked. I felt bad about that mistake.

#3 Some heads will roll with this one... Awesome info - I hope Pacepa's got his ass thoroughly covered - Prez Putty and Gen Primavera are still puttering around, after all.

The next paragraph sorta puts a period at the end of the WMD hunt:
"The U.S. military in fact, has already found the only thing that would have been allowed to survive under the classic Soviet "Sarindar" plan to liquidate weapons arsenals in the event of defeat in war â the technological documents showing how to reproduce weapons stocks in just a few weeks."

He explains Putty's UN stance, too. Putty knew nothing would be found, so he could play the Euro side for what they were worth to him and know there would be no egg on his face when he faced Dubya, again... except he didn't plan on Pacepa (or other equally informed person) going Op-Ed and spilling the beans...

Definitely time to disinvite Prez Putty regards that upcoming trip to Texas I've read about - unless he's willing to be the main BBQ course.

I wish Pacepa would do more to discredit the tool-phools - this is Non-Trivial info. He only shoots down the World Peace Council... by affiliation, I guess that might show several others for what they are. Removing their cover for the doofs of the press and the tools to see is long long overdue. These groups are so incestuous that some enterprising reporter might take down the entire house of cards. These "suckers welcome" orgs run most of the West's anti-govt "demonstrations" (and funnel money to the goofy pol parties, such as the so-called "Greens") - much the same as the NorKs have manipulated the idiot SKor "student" groups. Isn't it time to hear from our resident IndyMedia fount of wisdom?

Pacepa's a brave dude - and I hope we are covering him vewy vewy well, indeed - he'll need the resources of a state to stay alive.

Great Post - THX!

#4 These groups are so incestuous that some enterprising reporter might take down the entire house of cards. well said, .com!

I've always wondered why the intelligence services don't leak enough info to make the public aware of the connections, it's such a small worthless group of dirtbags allowed to have such a big influence. It's time for their gig to be up.

Sometimes I get ticked that the Intelligence Services just seem to collect information endlessly .... but never seem to actually do anything with it. While I understand the benefit of letting the small fry go to get the big fish, it really doesn't do any good to endlessly create file folders, year after year after year, and never do anything with the information but use it to collect more of it.

#5 It's hard (for me) to know how much of this to take seriously. But this:

Our Western left-wing organizations, like the World Peace Council, existed for sole purpose of spreading the propaganda we gave them. These very same groups bray the exact same themes to this day.

I have often wondered if some of the more surreal beliefs held by the world's moonbats weren't originally Soviet propaganda, which continues to grow and prosper long after the death of its host organism.

But I have always figured that was tinfoil hat territory.

#6 Sometimes I get ticked that the Intelligence Services just seem to collect information endlessly .... but never seem to actually do anything with it.
The majority of the people who actually work in spook outfits like the ones I've belonged to and know about (a lot!), and that I'm sure Fred and a few others here have been associated with, are very carefully, very fully restricted about what we can and can't say, can and can't do. The document I signed just before my retirement limits me from saying almost anything for seventy years after I retire - that is, until (supposedly) long after I'll probably be dead anyway.

The collection and analysis is done by professionals - the dissemination (actual release and use) is governed by politicians. Need I say anything more?
