Putin helping us in Iraq!? Bwahaha! Absolute lunacy.

If Russia wants to help us in a constructive way, they should stop financing and propping up Iran, Syria, Hezbullah and Hamas.

Russia was Saddam's sugar daddy from the beginning 'til the bitter end, and now they are doing the same with Iran. They are part of the problem, not the solution. If the Russians are really concerned about the danger Islam poses to them, they should, as I said, stop building up Iran's WMD's.

Absolutely pathetic.

I agree. What seems most likely, if we cut and run a la Baker/Hamilton, is that the new Iraq will fall in with the Syria - Iran alliance, which Russia supports. Why would Putin fight against that?

Lozansky realizes that Putin's policies are leading Russia towards disaster. The problem is, of course, that Putin doesn't.

Stalin had the same blind spot in his thinking between August 1939 and June 22, 1941.
