Bush says Russia is friend, not foe - paper
BERLIN (Reuters) - U.S. President George W. Bush believes Russia is a friend of the United States and not an enemy, according to an online version of an interview he gave to a German newspaper.
In the interview conducted in Washington with the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung and various other European newspapers, Bush was quoted as saying Russia was "not an enemy regime but a friend".
According to excerpts of the interview published on the newspaper's Web site on Thursday, Bush said Russian-U.S. relations were complex and that there were areas in which there was a great deal of agreement and others where there were differences of opinion.
A full version of the interview is due to be published in the newspaper's print edition on Saturday.
U.S. plans to build a missile defence shield in eastern Europe have alarmed Moscow and strained relations between the two countries. Russia says the missile defence shield is a threat to its security but Washington dismisses such fears, saying the shield is intended to counter "rogue states".
Russia successfully test-fired a new intercontinental ballistic missile on Tuesday featuring multiple warheads designed to overcome missile defence systems.
Yeah, yeah, and islam is the religion of peace, and the immigration bill isn’t amnesty. We get it now.
BUSH
Russia friend not foe
Islam is a religeon of peace
Illegal immigrants are saints just doing jobs Americans won’t do
White and black middle class America is racist scum.
I think we’re into another “amnesty” game here.
Wow! You guys all have great minds.
Here we go again. Bush still taken by Putin’s eyes, no doubt.
Pooty-Poot’s just a wuvable widdle waskle.
Boy is Bush really flushing his legacy down the commode.
Just more proof he’s an idiot.
Viva El Presidenté Azzjolé !
Mongo like Sheriff
Maybe the Dems are right...with Bush its about the alcohol.
Tequila in Mexico, Vodka in Russia. Mixed drinks globalist Koolaids.
However, all Secret Service personnel will be issued Geiger counters "out of an abundance of caution" when he meets with Vladimir Putin in a few days.
Yeah, yeah, and islam is the religion of peace, and the immigration bill isnt amnesty. We get it now.
LoL
I was feeling down...the comments on this thread makes me realize even more that conservatives have a sense of humor....we have to have one in these dark times.
lol
Russia COULD have been our friend...
If Bush’s ‘soul mate’ Putin hadn’t decided to re-start the Cold war, a’la Kruschev.
Two and a half years ago I never would have believed that I would say this:... But Bush is an idiot.
Shame on me for being fooled for so long.
