Putin voices disgust at TV broadcasting of Gaddafi's death

MOSCOW, Oct. 26 (Xinhua) -- Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said Wednesday that he was disgusted by TV coverage of former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi's death.

"Nearly all Gaddafi's family was killed, his corpse was shown by all TV channels around the world. It was impossible to watch without disgust," Interfax news agency quoted Putin as saying.

Speaking at a meeting of the Russian Popular Front in Moscow, Putin also said that none of the world religions would allow TV channels to broadcast the killing of a bloodstained but yet alive man.

"There is nothing good that all these scenes were demonstrated on the screens and millions of people, including children, saw that," Putin stressed.

He added that the media must take moral responsibility for the broadcasting.

Gaddafi, who was in power for 42 years in Libya, and his son Mutassim were captured alive last Thursday when forces of Libya's National Transitional Council (NTC) wrested full control of his hometown of Sirte. But both of them died in murky circumstances shortly after being seized by NTC fighters.

Helpless Serbs in Kosovo need NATO troops to protect them from the Albanians because Putin pulled out all the Russian peacekeepers Yeltsin sent there and abandoned the Serbs. Then Putin sent muslim Chechen "peacekeepers" in the Red Army to Lebanon to help Hizballah wage jihad against Israel.

The Caucasus will be Russia's graveyard!

How upside down is this world when we say Putin is correct?

Yep, and correct is not the same as good guy.

As a Christian, I cannot condone ANY such things. I, nor you, or the rest of us may do so.

It is up to He to judge and condemn. He is the Ruler of His Book of Life, not us.

KGB Putin was stationed in Dresden, Germany when Kadaffy blew up a German disco to kill Americans and he was still there at the time of the Lockerbie bombing.

What did Putin know and when did he know it?!

Remember what happened to Mussolini? Not a lot of outrage over that. And any outrage from Putin is a disgusting display of hypocrisy, especially considering the murder of the Romanovs and his own behavior.

“Remember what happened to Mussolini? Not a lot of outrage over that.”

And, more recently, former Romanian prime minister Ceausescu and his wife, executed by a firing squad.

You are certifiable.

NATO and their supported allies, the Kosovo KLA terrorist, drug runner, white slaver, kidnap for ransom organized criminals are the group that genocided the Serbs under the watchful eye of the UN rape squads. Russian involvement was limited to their ability, which was very much less at the time.

Russian attitude was demonstrated by General Michael Jackson's famous exchange with Weasely Clark,

"I'm not going to start the third world war for you," General Sir Mike Jackson, commander of the international KFOR peacekeeping force, is reported to have told Gen. Clark when he refused to accept an order to send assault troops to prevent Russian troops from taking over the airfield of Kosovo's provincial capital.

Russia was incapable of preventing the KLA/NATO/UN atrocities at that time. The Russian attitude remained, Putin withdrew, rebuilt and returned with the ability to successfully stop NATO and punish those that side with NATO. Now he simply watches as NATO commits suicide.

As a Russian, it's his job to do so, as NATO is actively destroying Slavs, and attempting to destroy Russians.

None of this means that he is a good guy.

Then Putin sent Muslim Chechen "peacekeepers" in the Red Army to Lebanon

Interesting, (and telling) that Putin is ordering the Chechen Muslims around, and The KLA Muslims are ordering NATO and the UN troops around.

“Then our Navy Seals were murdered shortly afterwards”

Yup. Hmmmm. I wonder who were the culprits?

(Ahem)

Putin ordered the Chechens to build in Russia the largest mosque in Europre? Yeah that is telling. It tells me he is the biggest dhimmi in the world.

Chechens sacked Georgia for themselves, not for Putin. Russia's stupid support for ethnic separatists in the Caucasus serves the interests of the Chechens. They are just biding their time and instituting sharia law while the stupid Russians have turned Chechnya over to them and armed them against Russia's Orthodox Christian neighbors! Russia has sown the seeds of its own destruction!

Finally some points worthy of discussion.

While it is true that the Chechen component of the Russian troops did "sack" and keep, they were inescapably under Russian orders, were forced to protect Russian nationals, and ordered to punish Georgians in general. All major economic takings went to Putin's Russia (the petro pipeline, ect.)

Effectively, this accomplishes: 1) Delivering an object lesson to the US, NATO, and would be NATO/EU economic wannabes.

2) Demonizes Islam and the Muslim thugs that did the dirty work.

3) Significantly increases the power and fear of Russia.

4) Delivers an object lesson to "Christian" societies that side with Islamicists and their allies using the Muslims they seek to support to kill them.

You are misreading the Caucasus mountainous areas. The Muslim terrorist will guerrilla on there forever. Putin has subjugated the cities larger towns and their entire military, the current real dangers to Russia.

They are just biding their time and instituting sharia law while the stupid Russians have turned Chechnya over to them and armed them against Russia's Orthodox Christian neighbors!

You MAY have a point here, as terrorist Islam has repeatedly subjugated societies with the infiltrate, sabotage and conquer strategy. Then again, the Islamicists may have to wait until Putin dies as the first Vlad taught them. Russia may NEVER lose these battles picked on their terms.

Russia has sown the seeds of its own destruction!

Nope, all these seeds were sewn long before modern Russia.
