Russian Aid to Iraq

Fox News cited this article, but it's missing from their website. No coverage on CNN. A collection Russian companies shipped night-vision equipment, radar jamming, and and antitank missles to Iraq. The State Department has been talking to the Russian government about this for over a year, but the effort was complicated by the nuclear weapons treaty negotiations and their bid to get Russian help in North Korea. The Russian government said the company doesn't exist, then said they were watching the company closely, then that the goods were legal, then that they couldn't stop the shipments if they wanted to.
