I'm shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!

Fox News is reporting 322 dead this morning. Prayers and support go out to the families.

Heartbreaking pictures. Screw the EU socialists-commies-nazis!

If you can influence homeland security, LEO types, and school/business officials, ask them to think about emergency planning related to this kind of attack.

[dokmad]

"Anyone who will feels sympathetic toward such provocations... "

Provocations? This is MUCH more than provocation! More like savagery, Animals. Scum of the earth filled with hatred and bigotry. Did putin even mention that it was muslim mercenaries that carried out this atrocity? May they rot in Hell. It's looking more and more like WWIII every day!

I'm guessing a round hundred billion in foreign aid would allow Putin to hold a line between the Black and the Caspian Seas until, say.....February 2006, at which point, the bad guys start running into severe supply line problems.

For starters.

That works out to $12 for me and my family, and I'm willing to double it just on general principle.

Where do I send the check?

[randog]

I think we should offer Putin the troops we now have in Germany.

I was thinking something along the same lines--offer Putin (or any other leader that comes up against a similar situation) the services of our terrorist-fighting special forces. I'm sure we've got some seasoned boys in Afghanistan right now that could have helped out in this Russian incident.

Borders closed. Maybe we should take a closer look ...

Closing the border is less than a daunting task as Chechnya is comparable in size to New Jersey.

I'm guessing that after Putin is done our Patriot Act is going to look awfully fair and balanced.

This is the thing that constantly confuses me. It's not like Putin is 'encumbered' by a bill of rights or activist judges or RAT politicians to keep him from doing what needs to be done.

Keeping order is the one thing I would think they would be able to do well.

[evad]

Russia's Alfa Group is easily the equivalent of our Delta Force, a fact well-recognized by our own military.

So why don't they use them??

[Atlanta]

Go to hell EU.

[silversky]

But the European Union said in a statement it wanted an explanation from Russia "how this tragedy could have happened."

If they really wanted to know they could have sent their observers. It was chock full of people and journalists who wanted to see for themselves. Not only EU did not help, they slept and now are obstructing. EU are terrorists.

It's worse than that, see post 72

islam needs to be ideologically cleansed from the planet, either by personal renunciation or execution.

There should be no place on earth where it is allowed to exist in any form.

[EDINVA]

is Russia a member of the EU ? I wasn't clear on that. But the EU's demand IS eerily reminiscent of *certain* Americans who continue to blame Bush for 9/11. Terrorists had nothing to do with it!

[silversky]

One of the tasks pursued by the terrorists was to stoke ethnic hatred, blow up the whole of our North Caucasus," Putin told local security officials. "Anyone who will feels sympathetic toward such provocations will be viewed as accomplices of terrorists and terrorism."

Read the above statement very carefully. Putin means what he says. He is genuine. MM is not. She is doing the bold part. Alright.

[silversky]

Putin: "One of the tasks pursued by the terrorists was to stoke ethnic hatred..."
MarMema: "The chechens hate us more than any other group"

If it quacks like A duck...

[OldFriend]

These are the savages that deserve to be thrown alive into a shredder.

Re: The world would be a much different place if we could become true allies with Russia.

We're all Russians today.

[silversky]

Provocations? This is MUCH more than provocation! More like savagery,

He was apparently speaking about future provocations. Revenge, etc. You know, someone that may suggest to the grieving families to take the justice in their own hands. They are neither equipped, nor trained, nor in the emotional condition to do that. It would just make Putin's job harder.
