We already know what Russia had at stake there:

Russia
Russia controls roughly 5.8 percent of Iraq�s annual imports.[16] Under 
the U.N. oil-for-food program, Russia�s total trade with Iraq was 
somewhere between $530 million and $1 billion for the six months ending 
in December of 2001.[17]
According to the Russian Ambassador to Iraq, Vladimir Titorenko, new 
contracts worth another $200 million under the U.N. oil-for-food program 
are to be signed over the next three months.[18]
Russia�s LUKoil negotiated a $4 billion, 23-year contract in 1997 to 
rehabilitate the 15 billion-barrel West Qurna field in southern Iraq. 
Work on the oil field was expected to commence upon cancellation of U.N. 
sanctions on Iraq. The deal is currently on hold.[19]
In October 2001, Salvneft, a Russian�Belarus company, negotiated a $52 
million service contract to drill at the Tuba field in Southern Iraq.[20]
In April 2001, Russia�s Zaruezhneft and Tatneft companies received a 
service contract to drill in the Saddam, Kirkuk, and Bai Hassan fields 
to rehabilitate the fields and reduce water incursion. Together the 
deals were valued at $13.2 million.[21]
A future $40 billion Iraqi�Russian economic agreement, reportedly signed 
in 2002, would allow for extensive oil exploration opportunities 
throughout western Iraq.[22] The proposal calls for 67 new projects, 
over a 10-year time frame, to explore and further develop fields in 
southern Iraq and the Western Desert, including the Suba, Luhais, West 
Qurna, and Rumaila projects. Additional projects added to the deal 
include second-phase construction of a pipeline running from southern to 
northern Iraq, and extensive drilling and gas projects. Work on these 
projects would commence upon cancellation of sanctions.[23]
Russia�s Gazprom Company over the past few years has signed contracts 
worth $18 million to repair gas stations in Iraq.[24]
The former Soviet Union was the premier supplier of Iraqi arms. From 
1981 to 2001, Russia supplied Iraq with 50 percent of its arms.[25]
Soviet-era debt of $7 billion through $8 billion was generated by arms 
sales to Iraq during the 1980�1988 Iran�Iraq war.
Three Russian firms are suspected of selling electronic jamming 
equipment, antitank missiles and thousands of night-vision goggles to 
Iraq in violation of U.N. sanctions.[26]  Two of the companies 
identified are Aviaconversiya and KBP Tula.

But a "crock" you're uanble to prove.

They may have noticed some time prior to the war...

U.S. intelligence suspects Iraq's weapons of mass destruction have 
finally been located.

Unfortunately, getting to them will be nearly impossible for the United 
States and its allies, because the containers with the strategic 
materials are not in Iraq.

Instead they are located in Lebanon's heavily-fortified Bekaa Valley, 
swarming with Iranian and Syrian forces, and Hizbullah and ex-Iraqi 
agents, Geostrategy-Direct.com will report in tomorrow's new weekly 
edition.

U.S. intelligence first identified a stream of tractor-trailer trucks 
moving from Iraq to Syria to Lebaon in January 2003. The significance of 
this sighting did not register on the CIA at the time.

U.S. intelligence sources believe the area contains extended-range 
Scud-based missiles and parts for chemical and biological warheads.


Mutually-lucrative Iraqi-Syrian arms transactions are nothing new. Firas 
Tlas, son of Syrian Defense Minister Mustafa Tlas, has been the key to 
Syria's rogue alliance with Iraq. He and Assad made hundreds of millions 
of dollars selling weapons, oil and drugs to and from Iraq, according to 
the May 13, 2003 edition of Geostrategy-Direct.com.

The CIA now believes a multi-million dollar deal between Iraq and Syria 
provided for the hiding and safekeeping of Saddam's strategic weapons

Can you read?

What a moron.

"evidence of any of the contractual arrangements"

Contracts are generally executed on PAPER you brain stem!

Still no factual rebuttal...

You're a very stupid person Lou, drop fucking dead!
