Buchanan has never met a vertically-challenged tyrant he didn't like.

Oh please! Too many have been poisoned and killed.

Not only that, but the poison used on this latest victim is only available to those with the resources of a State.

Sounds like the OJ defense. He's the obvious suspect, so it couldn't be him...

Next time, as a scientific experiment, post a Buchanan article and sign Ann Coulter's name under it. The cat predicts they'll be slobbering all over their seventeen inch screens agreeing with "her".

In an assassination, one must ask: Cui bono? To whose benefit? Who would gain from the poisoning of Litvinenko?

Excellent point, Pat... Our longtime friends and allies in the government of Syria have been saying much the same thing about the recent assassinations of Rafiq Hariri and Pierre Gemayel in Lebanon. Clearly those foul deeds must have been perpetrated by the Mossad with the goal of making Syria look bad. Only an idiot would believe that Syria had anything to do with those incidents...

Is it really necessary to include a sarcasm disclaimer here?

Certainly not Putin. Litvinenko's death puts him, the Kremlin and the KGB, now the FSB, under suspicion of having reverted to the terror tactics of Stalin, who commissioned killers to liquidate enemies like Leon Trotsky, murdered in Mexico in 1940.

Putin is a KGB agent.

This is just stupid.

Litvinenko's statement is awfully coherent and eloquent for a man writhing in a death agony.

I await Pat Buchanan's column laughing off the various martyrdom traditions of the saints.

While his agonizing public death would make him a celebrity even more famous than Georgi Markov, the Bulgarian anti-communist murdered in London in 1979

I await Pat Buchanan's column explaining that Georgi Markov actually killed himself in order to unfairly blacken the reputation of the Soviet state.

it may tell us who the real enemies of this country are

We already know, Pat... unfortunately for you.

Yikes!!!I said the same thing earlier today on another thread. It gets pretty scary to think I came to the same conclusion using the reverse "cui bono" method and hadn't read Pat's column.

Buchanan's anti-semitism is triggered by the spokesman's name, "Goldfarb".

Why would the Russian president, at the peak of his popularity, with his regime awash in oil revenue and himself playing a strong hand in world politics, risk a breach with every Western nation by ordering the public murder of a man who was more of a nuisance than a threat to his regime?

Because he doesn't give a POOP who knows he did it. Because it sure helps silence the OTHER Putin critics. Because it works for him. And because other than a few titters in the press, no one in the West will do a damn thing to stop him. Oh, and because it HELPS, not HURTS, him to not be trusted by the west.

I posted this on another thread.

Here is the Statement of the Administration of the President of the Chechen Rebels, for those who read Russian, or have access to translation software.

http://www.chechenpress.info/events/2006/11/25/24.shtml

They say he converted, and they say they are considering their highest decoration for him. They must have their reasons, and I suspect they involve actual acts of treason against the Russian state. You give your highest award for major service, not for something like writing a book.

He threw in with Al-Qaeda's allies. Al-Qaeda is the sworn enemy of the United States.

He threw in with the child-killers of Beslan. For that alone I could see personally feeding him the Polonium.

I shed no tears for this b*st*rd, and anyone who doesn't hold with murdering children shouldn't either.

I've become generally disgusted with President Putin and his eagerness to equip Iran with nukes (something I suspect Russia will regret in the future), but if he had a hand in this I say, hey, way to go.

it might be plausible, if Putin gave a rip about his image. I don't think he does, because, by virtue of the natural resources he controls, he holds 5 aces.

Alexander Litvinenko's article on Putin the pedophile

The Kremlin Pedophile

By Alexander Litvinenko

A few days ago, Russian President Vladimir Putin walked from the Big Kremlin Palace to his Residence. At one of the Kremlin squares, the president stopped to chat with the tourists. Among them was a boy aged 4 or 5.

'What is your name?' Putin asked.

'Nikita,' the boy replied.

Putin kneed, lifted the boy's T-shirt and kissed his stomach.

The world public is shocked. Nobody can understand why the Russian president did such a strange thing as kissing the stomach of an unfamiliar small boy.

The explanation may be found if we look carefully at the so-called "blank spots" in Putin's biography.

After graduating from the Andropov Institute, which prepares officers for the KGB intelligence service, Putin was not accepted into the foreign intelligence. Instead, he was sent to a junior position in KGB Leningrad Directorate. This was a very unusual twist for a career of an Andropov Institute's graduate with fluent German. Why did that happen with Putin?

Because, shortly before his graduation, his bosses learned that Putin was a pedophile. So say some people who knew Putin as a student at the Institute.

The Institute officials feared to report this to their own superiors, which would cause an unpleasant investigation. They decided it was easier just to avoid sending Putin abroad under some pretext. Such a solution is not unusual for the secret services.

Many years later, when Putin became the FSB director and was preparing for presidency, he began to seek and destroy any compromising materials collected against him by the secret services over earlier years. It was not difficult, provided he himself was the FSB director. Among other things, Putin found videotapes in the FSB Internal Security Directorate, which showed him making sex with some underage boys.

Interestingly, the video was recorded in the same conspiratorial flat in Polyanka Street in Moscow where Russian Prosecutor-General Yuri Skuratov was secretly video-taped with two prostitutes. Later, in the famous scandal, Putin (on Roman Abramovich's instructions) blackmailed Skuratov with these tapes and tried to persuade the Prosecutor-General to resign. In that conversation, Putin mentioned to Skuratov that he himself was also secretly video-taped making sex at the same bed. (But of course, he did not tell it was pedophilia rather than normal sex.) Later, Skuratov wrote about this in his book Variant Drakona (p.p. 153-154).

Pat defending Putin? Too funny. Is this from The Onion, or is Pat having one of his spells?
