You couldn't be more wrong. After Blair, Putin was the best friend W had.

It appears to me that pushing NATO into what was the USSR is a hangover Clinton policy, it may be our downfall. Not to mention the damage done siding with the Islamist headchoppers in the Balkans.

Putin to his credit takes on the MSM and associated neocons. Sets a good example if we have the guts to prosecute the NYTs, and associated neocons I might add .

Putin's Russia is more atuned to the dangers of Islamists intentions than any other country. They were indispensible in the defeat of the Taliban in Afghanistan, by over many years supporting the Northern Alliance.

W claims Putin as a friend, let's keep it that way.

"After Blair, Putin was the best friend W had."
With such friends who needs enemas? NK, Iran, assorted tinpot dictators like Chavez around the world - have they EVER had a decent client?

Putin tried to stop us in Iraq, sells weapons to N. Korea and Iran, and ignores the WOT whenever convient. That is NOT a friend.
