Speaking on a visit to Kazakhstan, Mr Putin said Russia had warned the US on several occasions that Iraq was planning "terrorist attacks" on its soil.
Do you think Putin was smart enough to know we'd go there and create this huge debacle that would bankrupt us and cause us to be the most feared and hated country on the planet. Maybe he is smarter than we give him credit for. When this war is over (If ever) this country will be a shell of what we were before the war. Bush will be called the worst president ever, and the dollar won't be worth Buttkiss. Pretty good chess playing by Putin I'd say!
