Bush Salutes Soviet Victory in Red Square By TERENCE HUNT, AP White House Correspondent
50 minutes ago


MOSCOW - In a once-unthinkable setting for a U.S. leader, President Bush took a place of honor on Red Square amid symbols of Soviet power Monday and saluted the greatest military victory of an empire formerly regarded as America's most-threatening enemy.


Tanks rumbled on the streets and warplanes screeched overhead as Bush and his wife, Laura, joined a long list of presidents, prime ministers and dignitaries at a grand parade celebrating the 60th anniversary of the Allied victory over Nazi Germany. The Soviet Union paid the heaviest price of all the triumphant allies — nearly 27 million soldiers and citizens killed in what is remembered here as the Great Patriotic War.

Bush watched goose-stepping soldiers and flags emblazoned with the Soviet hammer and sickle that recalled the days of communist rule. He sat beside Putin on a reviewing stand next to Lenin's tomb.

White House counselor Dan Bartlett said Bush was not uncomfortable with the trappings. Bartlett said it "demonstrates how far we've come in the world" after the collapse of the Soviet Union and the end of the nuclear-tinged standoff of the Cold War.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm..........

So you are making some statement about the USA and Russia being in cahouts on something? Sheesh ....

Let's not comment on the fact that Bush made it clear to the whole world (for the first time of any president) that we were wrong at Yalta to give in to the Soviets. For the first time of any sitting President to visit Latvia and to do likewise with Georgia, two small democracies, clearly making a statement of support (and in opposition to Yalta) to the Russians. But let's instead paint some 'sky is falling BS' from an out of context extraction from a news article about Bush being in Russia ... Hmmmmm is right.

Your tin foil hat is tipping ... be careful.
