...at least 250 people were killed... 60 more bodies were pulled from the school's ruins on Saturday, 36 of them children...Officials said 27 hostage-takers were killed and three taken alive.

I hope the three live Islamic child-killers wish they had never been born before the Russians kill them and bury them with a pig!

[freebilly]

I'm tempted to send Putin a history of our Civil War with the section on Sherman's March to the Sea highlighted....

[tallhappy]

Putin, easily re-elected to a second term in March, must now reassure Russians they are safe from the threat of separatists.

Yeah, all those Russian "separtists" who are Arab from the middle east.

[Diddle E. Squat]

Explosives and arms used by the gunmen were smuggled into the building well in advance, during summer building work on the school, Interfax quoted an unnamed regional security source as saying on Saturday.

EU go to hell.

[Mo1]

Western governments offered sympathy to Putin. But the European Union said in a statement it wanted an explanation from Russia "how this tragedy could have happened."

Is the European Union really that stupid to ask a question like that ?

[Michael121]

It is time for Russia to use USSR tactics. Like the hijacker who had a plane and demanded whatever, sitting on the tarmac. A box was delivered and inside was what was left of his brother.

No more hijackings.

Hunt them down and kill them. No mercy. No quarter.

[Husker24]

Do the Russians have any heavy bombers left?

North Ossetia is the only predominantly Orthodox province in the otherwise mostly Muslim North Caucasus. But the whole region is a tinderbox of small national groups and any crackdown carries a risk of disrupting further a delicate ethnic balance.

So ABC still can't say this is about Jihad and transcends simple "separatism" and blames it on a "tinderbox of national groups."

Even after stating the salient info on why this area was attacked: "North Ossetia is the only predominantly Orthodox province in the otherwise mostly Muslim North Caucasus."

Sounds like another Kosovo Like situation waiting to happen. It's a good thing Clinton isn't in, he'd want to bomb them.

OOOHHH! That really pisses me off. Talk about tempting fate. And belittling Putin. Payback's a BEYOTCH, Euroweenies.

[ChadGore]

Send Putin some the troops from the eeewwww (eu).

The same troops that liberated the european continent from the old USSR occupation should be used to help defend Russia today.

"Anyone who will feels sympathetic toward such provocations will be viewed as accomplices of terrorists and terrorism."

I think I saw a bunch of them marching in the streets of NYC earlier this week.

[Ruth A.]

"Anyone who will feels sympathetic toward such provocations will be viewed as accomplices of terrorists and terrorism."

I think Pres. GWB said it more succiently.

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

They want to play the 9-11 commission in the Russia production of terrorism.

[ezfindit]

North Ossetia is the only predominantly Orthodox province in the otherwise mostly Muslim North Caucasus.

These Terrorist Demons purposely picked this Orthodox Christian town to slaughter as many innocent Christians as possible. This has nothing to do with ethnic disputes or political statements. This is Radical Islamic fanaticism at its best (worst).

This is the kind of EVIL we are all facing folks. Remember this when you vote in November! That's why we cannot back down and that's why Bush MUST continue to fight these terrorists for as long as it takes.

TODAY WE ARE ALL RUSSIAN LIKE ON SEPTEMBER 11 WE WERE ALL AMERICANS.
Putin did the right thing.
Don't care about the EU... In Europe nobody cares about it... In fact nobody votes for it...

[fortheDeclaration]

"Anyone who will feels sympathetic toward such provocations will be viewed as accomplices of terrorists and terrorism."

Sounds like what our President said after 911
You are either with us or the terrorists-period!

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

This 'tragedy' happened because of Islam-DUH!

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

It is time choose sides Putin.

[FairOpinion]

"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."
--- Bush doctrine, Putin version

But I totally agree with Putin.

We will have to start doing the same thing, instead of giving lawyers to the terrorists, courtesy of our Supreme Court.

[FairOpinion]

"Authorities said they had been forced to launch a rescue operation when the gunmen opened fire on fleeing children. "


How brutal and inhuman is that?!

All these terrorists need to be eradicated. No mercy.
