(though highly unlikely) that Moscow, New Delhi, and
Teheran, etc. privately floated the idea of sending tens of thousands
of their troops to Afghanistan, but if they had proposed any such
thing, Washington must have said, "Thank you, but no thank you."

   A chapter of, "America's Secret War, " by George Friedmann of
Stratfor, focuses on the Russian assistance to the Bush invasion of
Afghanistan.

w/o Putin et. als. help.
