May Bush and Putin be inspired by God to end the systemic distrust that exists inside the permanent bureaucracy of both nations that has built up over the Cold War years.

Whatever his faults - Bush is a long term visionary - which is probably why some don't understand him in this short-sighted modern American landscape?

This is so smart. If a country turns it down, the question has to be WHY? Kinda ends the argument.

"Drives you nuts, things like this, don't they?"

dear putin bootlicker,

the only thing that drives me nuts is:

"Treachery: How America's Friends and Foes are Secretly Arming Our Enemies", by Bill Gertz is also an interesting book. This well respected reporter says that 11 million arms (over 100 different types) were sold to Iraq by Russia before the war. THese weapons killed our troops.

So you have no problems with Bush and Putin working togather? Or do you consider Bush's actions traiterous by your standards. Let us know, exactly where you stand on Bush, don't beat around the "Bush".

"Bush confronts Putin on Iraq arms "

So what say you to the fact, the Russians are now going to arm Iraq....kinda blows a hole in your whole conspiracy theory...unless Bush is in on it. So go ahead and tell us how it is.

I have to keep it simple when addressing the mentally deficient.
