Russia is reluctant to join an 11-nation U.S.-led effort to seize illegal shipments of nuclear and other proliferation materials that could fall in the hands of terrorists, senior U.S. officials said yesterday.

Even though discussions are still in their initial stage, the officials said the Russians are not yet convinced of the legality and merits of the plan, known as the Proliferation Security Initiative (PSI) and proposed by President Bush in the spring.

Russia is quite a place, quite a people. Very easy to understand, though. They won't come cheaply, but the fellow to cut the deal is George Walker Bush. And when the Russians are on board they don't flip flop on you like a bunch of Frenchmen. The only tougher bunch of folks I know than Russians are Poles. (Small groups excepted, Apaches, Estonians, etc., and the better sort of Americans, naturally!!)

This heralds that the terrorists' weapons are from ... Russia.

This was seen in Iraq, where France did not want to find, or have found, French-made weapons.

French missiles FIRST given to Iraq to be USED Against US and Coalition Heroes

These French missiles were found by the Poles, and to protect France, blown up.

The pompous froggies said they did not say "2003". Decide for yourself.

Iraqi missiles given to, and now located in, Syria:
