MOSCOW Russia is ready to assist the United States in dealing with the damage caused by hurricane Katrina, which has taken 68 lives so far and left behind a tremendous amount of devastation, Russian President Vladimir Putin said in a message to U.S. President George Bush Tuesday.
"Russia deeply sympathizes with Americans, who faced a disaster of such a colossal scale, and is ready to offer necessary assistance," Putin said.
Putin asked Bush to extend his condolences to families and relatives of those killed in the disaster.
"Accept my sincere words of regret in connection with the natural calamity in the USA. I know that hurricane Katrina, which swept the southeast coast of the country, resulted in deaths, left tens of thousands of Americans without roofs over their heads, and caused substantial damage to the region's economy," the message said. /RIA Novosti/
Ditto!
We need to figure out the Russians and us have a great deal in common and should be friends.
The Russians have figured out that the violent Muslims are the enemy, we should keep our mouths shut regarding the Russians' handling of Chechnya. Perhaps even support them.
We share common religions and aspirations and each already have enough land mass to not need what the other has.
Also, USS Comfort hospital ship is on the way
Except Rush and Montrose
Son of a gun.....
I also saw a USNS oiler going down the river. That only figures, since the task force will need fuel.
Thank you Russia. We appreciate it.
Me either. I'm so grateful.
they probably went with the Mexican navy on their two boats.

Bankrolling Arafat, he was the KGB's man:

Oh boy, like this hasn't been disproved a thousand times, even by Yushchenko himself stating that the Russians had nothing to do with it.
Bankrolling Arafat, he was the KGB's man:
Allow me to remind you that the one blemish on an otherwise great man, Ronald Reagan, was sending the marines into Lebanon to save Arafag and his PLO and move them to Tunisia. Who returned them to the occupied territories and raised them to official status? We did. Who bankrolled them and strong armed the Isrealies into arming them? We did. Who still sends them gifts, like $60 million post their "election"? We do.
"Russia Hid Saddam's WMDs" By Ion Pacepa
Ahh, the mass murderer and former general of the Romanian KGB who defected 20 years ago (so of course he knows everything that has happened since then and is still happening from all his "contacts"). The main articles were sourced to a man who was fired by DoD and is under investigation by the FBI and was part of Kerry's October surprise. But thanks for rehashing it for us.
"China, Russia kick off first joint military exercises"
Wow, their first ever. Lets see how many we've had with the Ruskies this year alone? Oh like around FIVE. And we've been having them every year for the past decade.
By the way, Frontpagemagazine has about as much credibility as Newsmax and Debka.
I was thinking the same thing, -The same folks that were irate over the fact that we were sending a rescue ship to the downed Russian sub a few weeks back.
It would probably be best to build elsewhere. I couldn't face sending a child back to a place where another family member had been murdered like that.
Well I was partially wrong, Stellar Dendrite, one of that clique showed up and started his usual rants. I'd like to place him on one of those roofs so he can tell the Russians to bugger off instead of in front of his comfy computer.
Russia has made it's share of mistakes concerning Muslims and The Brotherhood, as have we. If we could put our chips together and take care of business it would be a big step forward for the war on terror.
Anywho, its nice to see that in the event of a tragedy the world can kick politics aside and offer it's assistance.
Thank you, Russia! I got some e-mails from people with families down on the Gulf Coast, today and they need a lot of help.
A year ago, the tragedy in Beslan happened. Some of us Americans--all too few--responded to help. The anniversary of Beslan is tomorrow. Let us remember the martyrs of Beslan, who died for the Christian faith.
Their credibility is less than zero!!!!
