Fox can't be any worse than MSNBC--they've got Imus on.

Pretty serious act of war. I find it so strange that Islamics will infiltrate to the middle of a country to attack children. One would think that they could have found a much better military target in all that distance.

But then it is hard to fathom the level of depravity that Islam causes in men.

Truly a war with Islam is a rightous one!

A boy cries as he sits in a car with his relatives after he was released from the school seized by heavily armed masked men and women in the town of Beslan in the province of North Ossetia near Chechnya (news - web sites), September 3, 2004. Russian soldiers battled Chechen separatists on Friday to end a two-day-old school siege as naked children ran out screaming amid explosions and machinegun fire. REUTERS/Viktor Korotayev

I will guarantee, Bush came off his tour de force tonight and when given the news, called Putin as a friend and understanding confidant and has stayed close to the news.

"Feel Good" victories are short lived amongst leaders fighting enemies of terror and evil during World War IV.

Russian soldiers battled Chechen separatists

The name given to these criminals, "Chechen separatists" is far too noble given what they've just done to innocent school children!
These so-called "separatists" are actually more of the same evil we've been dealing with the world over: Islamic terrorists.

What the BBC is calling Chechen separatists, are in fact muslim terrorists, are they not?

Not necessarily muslim, but they work with and train with Al-Queda..

I think Chechnya is about half and half..
( Orthodox Russian Catholic and Muslim.. )

They stripped the rescued adults AND children down to the "panties" level to ensure the 8th seven-year old little girl wasnt' wired by the Islamist punks with explosives to kill the other seven little seven-year old girls and her 300 rescuers.

This crap that they are not murderous Islamists ... but politically motivated "separatists" ... is not to be believed.

Putin and his gutless functionaries need to step up. Their anti-American machinations in the U.N. and overtly absent support in Iraq don't seem to be working.

Bring on the historic Russkie warrior class Vladdie. Join your only historic betters. Let's kill these punks.

Muslims need to find easier targets they can handle, other than grammer school kids. Maybe the next target for Muslim heros would be the 'newborn's' section of a hospital. Worse than cowards.

Do you mean the Catholics may be participating in these terrorist acts?

I'm going out on a limb here but I don't think that's what Drammach meant. I believe Drammach was supplying background info on the area.

I believe there are a number of ethnic Slavs in Chechnya who may represent the Christian minority to which you refer. But I believe the ethnic Chechnyans are Muslims.

According to a newspaper account I read today, an interim Chechnyan government was allowed to exist briefly by Putin, but the leader instituted Islamic Law and then attempted to export it to Dagestan.Make no mistake about this - its Islamic terrorism all over again. Like the Palestinian situation, it may be clouded over with some elements of local nationalism, but its the same story - militant Islam on the march again.

Chechnya's population may be mixed but it is solely the Islamofascists who are doing these things.

Coming to a School near you! Heads up America. These are the people Kerry would have you appease and with whom he suggests you engage in a sensitive struggle. BS!!

We shouldn't be so self- righteous here.

The same conditions are being created HERE by our OWN government.

Recently, there was a "lottery" to select at random thousands of individuals to nationalize as American citizens. The countries from which these individuals were selected were selected on the basis of being "under-represented" in our population.

Guess what one of the major countries was. Egypt.

That's right. The U.S. government is giving preferential treatment over Chinese, Irishmen, etc. to EGYPTIANS!!! The same kind of people who constituted the larger elements of the 9-1-1 kooks.

Every Mosque, every Madrasseh on U.S. and western soil is a blemish on the face of western civlization.

The slience from the world Islamic community over what is going on in that school in Russia is deafening. And what happened there, can and WILL happen here, once the critical mass of Muslims in the U.S. reaches the combustion point.
