Hey, look-- a Russian intelligence site run by "a group of journalists and military experts", which is full of detailed information on the war which could only mean there are secret Russian spy satellite and descrambling equipment and signal interceptors everywhere from Basra to Nasiriya to Tommy Franks' lap.
And wouldn't you know it, it describes the war-- in great technical detail-- to be going decisively in the Iraqis' favor. Far from being dug in and immobilized, the Iraqi army is highly proactive, maneuver-based, and destroying US tanks by the dozen. We still haven't taken Basra or Umm Qasr, and Franks has ordered the troops to ermergency defensive postures on multiple occasions. Didn't know a T-72 could take out an M1 Abrams? Thought even we had trouble scuttling those things using our own tanks? Well, wonder no more, because these guys have the scoop.
It's really quite fascinating. It's like The Onion, only for military news, and not funny.
