I think this is a dumb idea. Hopefully, it's just another nonsensical outburst by the State Department. Bush can't possibly think that diplomacy is going to fix this.

stupid, stupid, and more stupid.

The State Dept. is a wasteland of liberalism and needs to be cleaned out. Bush needs to ignore these imbeciles and do whats right.

The administration also left open the possibility of U.S. meetings with Chechens who are not linked to terrorists.
We are scum.

Methinks the State Department shall shortly be receiving numerous irate calls and emails.

What???

Even the 9/11 Commission mentioned in their report that Chechens were part of the global terrorists.

Big mistake (one of dozens) by the State Department.

And since when do we negotiate with terrorists or recommend that others do the same.

This is asinine.

Nice! How does it feel, Mr. Putin? Hurts, don't it?

Just wait till France and Germany start calling you a Nazi for doing what you have to do.

This is for the same reason that we are working to rebuild Iraq. The Bush administration is not into the "kill 'em all and let God sort it out" philosophy.

Not everyone in Iraq or Chechnya is a terrorist. The administration recognizes that and works, using diplomacy, to try to fix things.

Much as many hate it, President Bush has often said that he respects Islam as a religion. He's not into slaughtering all Muslims simply because one group claiming that religion are terrorists.

I can't imagine why anyone would be surprised at this story.

WTF is State and the Admin thinking ... sigh .... Does anybody remember Afganistan?

I could see the DOS issuing this if the fight was with the Russian army. But this is little kids now ... and when that happens, the gloves come off.

These terrorists could care less about Chechnya. They want to control all of the former Soviet Union's Muslim-dominated areas, and turn it into a super state with nuclear weapons. They are just using Chechnya as their cover. Wake up State Department!

Boucher, the State Department spokesman, said Tuesday that "our view on the overall situation has not changed." That is, he said, ultimately "there must be a political settlement" over Chechnya.

Sounds like to me the State Dept. is letting the Russians know in a diplomatic way that if the Russians want our support, it better be a two way street.

Think: Iraq.
Think: Iran.
Think: Nato.
Think: U.N. Security Council
