This is an old article. I hope it hasn't already been posted. Couldn't find it.
I wonder how much control Putin yields over his military?

[OWK]

Sorry Mr. Putin, but we cannot allow you, to not allow us, to defend our nation against terrorist enclaves, where ever they might be.

"Russia has emerged as an ally of both Baghdad and Teheran."

Always was the taskmaster, since World War II.

[Question_Assumptions]

Simple solution. If these guys are your buddies, then get them to cough up the terrorists hiding in their territory.

[RickyJ]

But they said President Vladimir Putin would not allow the regime of Iraqi President Saddam Hussein or Iran to become a U.S. target in such a war.

Just try to stop us Putin. You think your the only country with suitcase nukes? HAHAHA!

As time shall try....

My see-saw position on Russia's conduct in Chechnya has been pushed toward the anti-Russian side once again. Russia cannot be allowed to play the same doubletalk game with us that the Pallies play with the Israelis.

"Russia has emerged as an ally of both Baghdad and Teheran."

More like Baghdad and Teheran are customers of Russia.

How far can we trace that anthrax?

Mr. Putin we will no longer be able to prop up your financially strapped gangster nation with loans from the USA or the World Bank. Further we know that the real reason that you and your mobster elite don't want the USA to attack Iran and IraQ is because in your greed you have sold nuclear weapons to both regimes. This truth once discovered would barr Russia from the league of civilized nations and brand Russia a rouge/ terrorist nation.

Examing the time we live in, I fully expect the above scenario to unfold.In order to hide Russia's complicity with Iran and Iraq, Putin might switch sides and be forced to use Russia's nukes on the USA. What an exciting time to be alive!

probably pretty d**n close to its source. There are very few scientists with the knowledge and ambition to produce weapons-grade/professional-grade anthrax. There should also be records of where certain strains have been previously located/shipped to, etc.

and nixon went to china cuz he just "luvs" authoritarians.

[ASA Vet]

You think your the only country with suitcase nukes?

So called "suitcase nukes." are no where near large enough to teach the lesson to the world:

"Never ever attack the U.S."

If that lesson isn't taught we will continue to see our nation attacked.

[IncPen]

Who asked Russia?

[Quix]

Been assuming this was the reason.

Seems to me there ought to be some leadership ways around it. . . .unless we've already been so sold down the river by Bimbo Crusher et al that we have no clout to weigh in with. . . . or else Gorby and all the other globalist pals including daddy B . . . have vetoed it as well as Putin. . . which I guess is the same thing as being sold down the river by Bimbo Crusher et al

Thing is, if you think the US is going to have cardiblanc to bomb whom ever it wishes on minimal proof...sorry, might as well move to nuclear war and get the posturing over. Besides, the real perpitrators, the US self righteousness won't touch. Can we say "Saudi" children? I knew we could.
