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.

Bush says Russia is friend, not foe

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.

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.
