Ouch! Putin Answer About Terrorism Stuns Press Conference to Silence
NewsBusters ^ | December 30, 2009 | P.J. Gladnick

Ouch!

This video of Russian ex-President (now Prime Minister) Vladimir Putin's response to a question about terrorism at a G-8 summit press conference was posted in early 2008. However, his answer is worth noting now in light of Barack Obama's rather dispassionate first response to the Nigerian Christmas Day bomb plot terrorist which came off as sounding like a tepid legalistic statement from a deputy district attorney. Here is a transcipt of the question from a French journalist and the blunt response from Putin which stunned the press conference to silence:

FRENCH JOURNALIST: ...Don't you think that by trying to irradicate terrorism in Chechnya you are going to irradicate the civilian population of Chechnya?

VLADIMIR PUTIN: If you want to become an Islamic fundamentalist and be circumcised, come to Moscow. We are multiconfessional. We have very good specialists. I can recommend one for the operation. He'll make sure nothing grows back.

Just imagine what private negotiations between Putin with the steely resolve and the touchy feely Obama must be like?

I suppose he meant “castrated” rather than “circumcised”?? An issue of translation perhaps?

b/c circumcision is much too gentle for Islamo-scum terrorists, whereas castration would be a good start....

I’d like it more if it had come from our President.

But, with the Soviets, every action has multiple applications.

In this case, he was telling America that he has no problem using extreme violence.

And we have a narcissist child “protecting” us.

Somethin says Putin could pull Obamas heart out of his chest before it would stop beating. With or without Secret Service protection.

I too wish we had a President who would tell those who would harm our military and our civilians to sleep with one eye open because there won’t be a knock on the door and no Miranda rights will be read to them when we come for them.

It’s a sorry state of affairs when Vlad Putin comes up with better policies than the President.

The Russians have had as their enemies in the past, fanatics who would have killed every last man, woman, and child in their nation. They have a clear understanding of what fanatical Muslims would do to them, and Putin is sending a clear message that he will deal with them without mercy. It wasn’t too long ago that Muslim fanatics invaded a school and raped and murdered students. Just reading about it was ghastly.

Putin has been known to make Obama shiver like a dog sh*tting razor blades!

Putin has beat Obama at every turn. All the wyt from Poland to Iran and back again. Putin scores 4 Obama= Zero. Obama is in way over his head.Not in the same league at all.

I do have to say that I must give praise to Putin for his reaction to these fanatics. Maybe the spineless wonder we have in our oval office should take some cues from him.

Pretty sure he was talking about circumcision. However, he is promising that when the doctor is done, there won’t be anything left.
