If Al-Qaeda is involved in anyway in Chechyna, guarantee this: John Kerry will blame Bush because he was distracted by Saddam Hussein when he should have focused on Al-Qaeda.
If Kerry does this, it will totally accredit the whole reason Zell Miller is so angry - blame US first before the actual terrorists.
Did anyone actually READ the 9/11 Commission Report? Al-Qaeda IS involved with the Chechens - have been since at least the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan - they fight, train and commit acts of terror together - they are on the same team - Radical Islamic Terrorists - even the "bi-partisan" 9/11 Commission had this much figured out.
