You think RUSSIA gets involved in the War?

If Powells accusations are true the Russians have already been involved in the war. Powell accused them of giving Iraq GPS jamming equipment and having military advisors in Baghdad. If the GPS jamming technology really works this is no small detail. Between the oil fires causing the smoke clouds above Iraq and the GPS signals being jammed our "smart bombs" may not be working. That may cause us to have many more dead and wounded soldiers than if they were working, I have been saying for a long time the Russians loom large in this picture. They bought pieces of the oil fields from Iraq long after the Axis of evil speech. They and the French are trade with Iraq. So we are bombing their trading partners. Moscow considers the oil in the Caspian Sea region their oil. My understanding is that Much of the oil and gas in the region was developed by the Soviets before the breakup of the U.S.S.R. The Russians have been selling tanks and submarines to the Iranians. It is a bit hard for me to imagine that the Russians would'nt be involved in this war in some fashion.
