But the Russian president otherwise praised the strength of US-Russian relations, especially in the fight against terrorism.

"The United States is one of our high priority partners. We happen to be natural partners in resolving several acute problems these days, especially combating terrorism," he said.

"I would describe our relations not as a partnership but as an alliance."

Pressure the UN to Open the oil-for-food books, Putin.

With allies like this, who needs enemies.

Today according to our estimates there are nine cities in Iraq where there are hostilities

If the russians, along with france, germany and china had accepted their responsiblities and stood with the US against hussein, there would be very little if any hostilities in Iraq today. The same applies to the MSM and democrats. They continue to give immoral support to the terrorists and then scream at the Bush Administration because the terrorists are still there.

"We hope that the national interests triumph over the political expediency of some," he said.

...and to "triumph in such an end result, by removing the "opposition", they had Yushchenko poisened.

But he survived it and will now hopefully win in a landslide.

Putin is a dirty little bastard who needs a shower!

We make exceptions for countries that bribed Russia to the tune of $19.35 billion.

Best not to upset a nation that has 1) confirmed nuclear capability, 2) targeting codes and 3) an active interest in forming a stronger military alliance with China.

Also, prior to the current unpleasentness, the administration was actively goading the former Soviets, which, from the perspective of this old, cold warrior, was stupid at best.

Well, hasn't he organized an election in Chechnya some time ago? Speaking about "farces" and "hostilities". And as for "permanent revolution" - it is a Trotskyite concept. All inquiries to them.

Soon you will hear pro Putin propaganda.

"It's extremely dangerous trying to resolve political problems outside the framework of the law, first the 'rose revolution', then they'll think up of something like blue," Putin said.

Nice try, Pootie. I notice you had no such compunction about the 'framework of the law' when the pro-Moscow bully-boys tried to steal the election in the first place.

I've come to the conclusion that Pootie-Poot is not a trustworthy partner. As usual in Eastern Europe, we've got a choice between bad (Putin) and worse (Soros). I vote for none of the above.

If the russians, along with france, germany and china had accepted their responsiblities and stood with the US against hussein, there would be very little if any hostilities in Iraq today.

They all speak with forked tongues.

To Putin:

SHUT UP!

Less people die in a week in Chechnya then in a day in Iraq. The Muslims can only laya bomb or two and that is it in Chechnya. The Chechens are doing most of the fighting against the jihadists. As for the Trotskyite concept of "permanent revolution" - is Putin taking a jab at the neocons fueling the Western antagonisim against Russia?

[Destro]

Better Putin than Soros. Better Russia than China.

[GSlob]

Chechnya has much fewer people than than Iraq. Thus prorate. And don't forget to make a useful correction on the reporting in Russian media.

[Destro]

About the same number of people if you only factor in the Sunni traingle. Nice try though.

C'mere, kitty kitty.

"If you have permanent revolutions you risk plunging the post-Soviet space into endless conflict," he said,

Oh please don't throw me in dat briar patch!

[Chuzchka-Prizrak]

Wow!
Best comment ever!
Full of true wisdom and knowledge.
