Putin needs to call his comrade Hugo Chavez and have him invite his girlfriend Cindy Sheehan to the Kremlin for a good old-fashioned "No Blood for Oil" rally.

Hey Mr Putin..want to tell us what your Spetznaz did with the WMDs that were in Iraq?

And right after that, you can kiss me on my bald spot..

[Aussie Dasher]

Putin is a bloody clown!

Don't forget where he learnt his 'craft' - the KGB!

[bybybill]

Putin is not our pal and you can bet GWB knows that.

[headstamp]

The cynical ex-KGB agent dictator speaks. And of course, the US pressholes eat it up. Bush ought to have a little "sidebar" with this clown at the G8 summit.

[newconhere]

I hope so, and the "see into his soul" comment was a psych game.

[Aussie Dasher]

Better still, he should take him out the back and show him a little Texan "common sense"...

[Jeff Head]

No, Mr. Putin, if you have elected to send your diplomats to Iraq, knowing the situation as it stands, then next to the terrorists themselves, who carry the absolute bulk of the responsibility, you and the Russian government are next in line.

Your words betray not only your government's complicity in what was going on in Iraq before the liberation of the Iraqi people, they betray an utter lack of logic on whomever helps you come up with your talking points. If you knew that the security situation was much worse as you contend, then by keeping your diplomats in that environment, you share the blame.

The fact is, the security situation for most Iraqis and for the entire region is much, much better. A tyrant is gone, liberty is beginning to flourish, and the Iraqi people are voting themselves for which side of that fence of history to stand on.

President Vladimir Putin said Wednesday part of the blame for the killing of five Russian diplomats in Iraq in June lay with coalition forces, including the United States.

Well, so much for the warm, friendly meeting he's going to be having with Bush in the next week or so.

Heres an idea for you Pooty.... This is a war zone, your own agents and yourself were at fault for sending them. You sent them, you know the risks of Islamic terrorist, grow up and face responsibility.....

Man what is with lefties this century, thinking they should blame everyone else for their problems.

[NorCalRepub]

....yeah old KGB hand.....but he would just turn around and tell you Bush Sr. learned his craft at the CIA.....

[Aussie Dasher]

Given the choice, I'd take the CIA over the KGB anyday!

[moose2004]

"He also said that had the United States used peaceful means in Iraq, it might not be the breeding ground for terrorism that it is today."

And what about Chechnya?

[VeniVidiVici]

Wow! So the Russians are taking credit for Beslan?

[Edgerunner]

I do believe Pute is confirming that he is no friend of America (typical leftist)...

[Tailgunner Joe]

No they blamed us for that one too...

[conservativecrowfest]

Everyone blames the U.S. no matter what happens. I guess islamofascists have been absolved from all responsibility no matter how many they kidnap, kill, and mutilate.

[Clemenza]

NEVER, NEVER trust a Russian. NEVER!

That includes those sluts many of you guys may be thinking of marrying.

[SF Republican]

By his logic I suppose he too is responsible for sending them there.

[Lumper20]

The old KGB hack is back to his old tricks. What happened to those Russian SF types sent in to show us how great they were?
