I think it's safe to say the Russians are onboard in the fight against the Islamofacists.



I mean really onboard !!

[clintonh8r]

See evil, speak evil and hear evil...

[gcruse]

Back off - you sound like my ex-wife.

Gee, I do, don't I?

[VaBthang4]

Lemme guess...


Admin Poag?

LOL

It appears that this was a huge success, as long as these reports are not the usual Russian distortions! I tend to think that if our NEWS reporters are there, these reports are probably accurate.

Are we training the Russian Special Forces? :-)

[Catspaw]

I want Barayev deader than a doornail.

[MJY1288]

ROFLMAO, You're bad, very bad :-)

[southland]

Really Russia have a lot in common and can help each other if the politics don't get screwed up again.
It is hard to determine who was right and who was wrong during cold war. We provoked as well as they did. I sure am glad that we never had a major battle like both sides were prepared for.

[Confed]

The Ruskies don't play.
Way to go!

[Pushi]

Don't insult the poor Russian. That is the worst thing you could say about him.

[SkyPilot]

Reuters - "Chechen gunmen"

Sheesh! What is it with the "sensitivity" of the media towards these guys? Can't they just say "Islamic Terrorists?"

What is next?

The Nazi's were "Bavarian Rebels?"

[shadowman99]

Hand the Chechens a jar of lube, the Russians are going to counterstrike for this one.

[MarineDad]

Why'd the studio staff let them go on the air like that? Anyone can see that his little red propeller fell off, fer cryin' out loud.

[Saturnalia]

By "escaped" they mean escaped into Lubyanka prison.
Less paperwork that way.

[myrabach]

I never thought I would be rooting for Russians! I never thought I would be working side by side with them either... strange world sometimes.

[Dengar01]

I don't believe Fox has any stations in that part of the world. They are more interested in China and the ME.

Yeah Fox News definetly sucked on this story. They sucked on Monday night Wednesday night when they were hunting for Muhammed. I like Fox but I have to say that their live breaking coverage is the worst of all the major networks. I had to switch to CNN.

[maranatha]

Do you read Len Deighton? He hasn't written anything new in about 4 years. We all just reread all of his books several times a year. I learned so much about KGB, West Berlin, East Berlin, the cold war, British intelligence, spying, etc. Deighton is incredible.

[gcruse]

Remember Coventry and Churchill?
Of course you do.

[Pyro7480]

As it stands, old-style USSR communism was the height of civilization compared to Islamo-nazism.

Well, that depends on your point of view. Concerning the average Russian's life, you're right. But when you consider the death toll of international communism (around 100 million+), NOTHING comes close (yet...).

Three cheers for the Russian Special Forces!

[Saturnalia]

Actually I think special forces rankings tend to go like this:

SAS>Spetznatz>everone else.
Of course Spetnatz is not quite as well funded as it was during Soviet times, but what is properly kept up r0x0rz.
