Seems “W” should have looked into Putin’s head, instead of his soul.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Ominous was the thought on Kudlow and Company today....

[Army Air Corps]

Iran also plays footsie with the Chechens, will Putin feel the same way if Iran gives the Chechens a “device.”

[VeniVidiVici]

One can only hope that somehow Iranian uranium will first find its way to the Kremlin now that Moscow has chosen East over West.

[SunkenCiv]

Yeah, I’m sure that’ll work, and that Putin only has the interests of the peaceloving people of the world at heart. What a relief. ;’) Thanks E.

[ThinkClearly]

Yes Mr. Putin, 'peaceful' nuclear capabilities should be alright for Iran to have. No one has any problem with them building nuclear reactors to provide power to their industrial and civilian base.

We've offered that to them. Repeatedly.

They want refinement capability that's only useful to produce weapons grade material, and also want to destroy Israel. That's the problem, you dolt.

The world in a slow motion train wreck...

One can see all the signs...

Yet onward we go...

[americanophile]

...and the band plays on.

[Just mythoughts]

So Putin went to get a first hand look at his investment, after all it was Russia that provided the nuclear kit to Iran. .... Old Saddam was wanting the same deal.... Wonder what exactly Iran had to give up to get their nuclear toys? Saddam was using oil...

[DoughtyOne]

Russia seems almost as if an imputent child.

What happens when Iran has the bomb and threatens to use it on them or else?

Why does Russia always seem to side with people who could do it as much or more harn than us?

[spna]

Russia is the new France.

[patriciaruth]

Well, that means the American left now has its marching orders. I’ve never know them to take a position in opposition to Russia.

Watch for the media and the left to start to get on board and support peaceful nuclear program for Iran.

Going to be interested in exactly how they are going to couch this....

[My Favorite Headache]

Reagan is rolling over in his grave as we speak.

[Old 300]

Is he at all concerned about Israel’s right to defend itself against nuclear terrorism? Perhaps the American State Department should reconsider its own positions on that matter. Things could be a lot simpler if we stopped demanding that Israel consult the United Nations before making the slightest move.

Why does Russia always seem to side with people who could do it as much or more harn than us?

Excellent question. For quite a while I've thought Pootie has a Napoleon complex. After listening to Bruce Bartlett interviewed last night about his new book where he called recent Bush/Putin meetings "bizarre" and listening to some of the details he cites to bolster his assertions, I'm now thinking that Pootie is just nuts. What I don't get is Pootie's 70% approval rating.....

[xzins]

Before this goes any farther down the road, Iran’s nukes must be taken out. It’s that simple.

[Froufrou]

I’m wondering where North Korea fits into all this.

Ping to red badger...

[Paul Ross]

This appears to bode ill.
