"We did not know how to react in the appropriate fashion. We have showed weakness in the face of danger and the weak get beaten up," he said in a televised address."

[ProudVet77]

Spoken like a true black belt.

"We did not understand the complexity and the danger of the process which was emerging in our country and in the entire world," Putin said of the school hostage crisis in which at least 330 people are now known to have died.

"We did not know how to react in the appropriate fashion. We have showed weakness in the face of danger and the weak get beaten up," he said in a televised address. Officials in North Ossetia say 156 children were among the dead in Beslan, as well as parents, school teachers and Russian special forces.

Sounds like he might be more willing to help the US in the future. Paging Mr. Chirac and Mr. Schroeder...

Hey Doogle, we didn't do this to him. His hope was they would leave Russia alone. But as he said they showed weakness.

Well he is former KGB.........I would not want him looking for me.

[Rokke]

Beaten up!?!?! Are you kidding me? Over 150 children killed and he calls it "beaten up"??? I call it getting your ass kicked and the beginning of the end for EVERY single satanic soul who aligns themselves with child killing Islamic whackos. It's time to get medieval.</p>

If I were a Muslim in Russia right now, I would be sweating bullets and looking for a fast way out of the country.

Russian paranoia, Russian cruelty, Russian anger and Russian xenophobia must all be higher than a kite right now.

There is going to be a reaction to this. Putin will have to do something.

I give it 1 in 50 that he chooses to make an extreme example.

Using a missle.

[Conservababe]

To be fair, the USA criticized Russia for hitting them years ago, before we were hit. Even now, most do not realize that they are Muslims that are the cause of this atrocity.

[Twinkie]

So, do I have this correct? Russia, Germany, France decided that they wouldn't help us after 9/11; that if they left the terrorists alone they would be spared. This enemy despises weakness. Maybe Putin should call in the Israeli commandos to give lessons to his men.

Putin declares Russia showed weakness

A classic diplomatic response saying: Dubya, you are right and we need your help!

Pawleeeze???

[fuzzy122]

[Perhaps you didn't understand "either your with us ,or against us"]

Actually what Dubya said was, "Every nation in every region now has a decision to make: Either you are with us or you are with the terrorists."

I know it's a small point, but your way suggests these children were America's. This abomination was not perpetrated againsy us but against Russia.

When they didn't stand with the USA they encouraged the terrorists. The "evil-doers" saw a country they could "bargain" with and it has cost the lives of these innocent men, women and children.

Stay Strong,

Russia has now had their 9-11

[Indie]

Today was the first day the islamonazis at work began to fear something was wrong. I did not smile. I did not speak. I did not make eye contact.

I did ignore them even when they spoke to me. They were not there. They did not exist in my world. I held them in contempt.

They noticed. They knew why. And they feared.

[kinghorse]

Against what target?

[sully777]

Putin is giving his post-RNC Convention speech: Supports Bush Doctrine 100%

[Doogle]

and we didn't show weakness?
no response to the first WTC bombings..(militarily)
no response to the embassy bombings...
no response to the USS Cole....

I'm sure it sounded harsher in Russian.

"We did not understand the complexity and the danger of the process which was emerging in our country and in the entire world," Putin said of the school hostage crisis in which at least 330 people are now known to have died.

Gee, our great president knew immediately the seriousness of terrorism in the world after 9-11.

What took this little elf so long to get it?

[COEXERJ145]

Looks like Putin finally woke up and realized it is time to take the gloves off.

Just as an interesting note, on September 11th, 2001, the first foreign leader to call President Bush was none other than Vladimir Putin.

[Ronin]

That's what they are arguing about right now.

A number of advisors are probably advising hitting a city in Chechnya, but if I were willing to bet on a long-shot odd, I would guess it's going to be a air-burst over Mecca.

High altitude. No actual damage (unless you count the brown stains in a lot of underwear).

But the message will be clear.
