Reply #62: ???Russian trained/supported???

[underpants]

This hit me this afternoon when I saw the reports on TV, I read it this morning here.

Remember what Putin said the last time he was at Camp David?

He said (can't find the quote) that he/they had been contacted just after 9/11 by ~'powers' that the coming attack in Afghanistan could provide an incredible opportunity for the big bear to exact revenge or at least weaken the US. He said that he did not chose that path mainly due to the personal relationship between he and W and that had that not been in place he couldn't say what he would have done. This of course passed right through W's head and he spoke about something else.

So how do we know (or could we) that at least some of the insurgents aren't Russian trained or supported?
