"But if you are prepared to become the most radical Islamist and prepared to get circumcised - I invite you to Moscow. We have specialists that deal with this problem. I suggest that you do such an operation that nothing grows out of you again," Mr Putin reportedly said.

I'd love to hear GWB say something similar at his next press conference. Can't you just see Helen Thomas's old sourpuss? LOL!

ROFLMAO. I gotta give Putin credit he's not afraid to say anything and is not afraid of the media. This is priceless!

[leadpenny]

I think Helen Thomas has already had the procedure done.

[neutrino]

As I've said before...I like President Putin!

[finnman69]

Apparently Putin knows how to deal with CLYMERs up front.

Interesting how the Russians were in the thrall of Leftist ideology for decades and yet they are unafraid to speak in this manner.

What country are we in again?

That is what I was thinking as well. I am not sure if my belly would hold up through the laughter of that.

[ZULU]

I think we should make Putin an honorary American and Bush should put him in his Cabinet!!

Putin gets it, GWB gets it, a majority of the American people now get it, but the media is living in La-La land.

Muslims want to kill non-muslims. It's not that hard to understand, it's what their books and their holy men tell them. They practice this on a daily basis. We may not like it, but it's the way it is. It's nice to see Putin stating things so clearly and so unequivocally. Probably the media will never get it, however.

Easy for him to say, it's no skin off his back.

[thinktwice]

Putin (ex-KGB top man) is beginning to resemble Nikita Kruschev, the Russian Communist Party General Secretary that took off a shoe to bang it on his UN General Assembly desk for attention, the guy that promised to "bury America."

FOFL ...Gotta love how he doesn't mince words and just tells it like it is

[NativeNewYorker]

It may be this big now...

[philosofy123]

She is growing a beard!

Not all Muslims want to kill people. Just as there are many Christians, Jews, etc., that do not abide by all that they are told, so too are there many Muslims.

Reaganism strategery.

[leadpenny]

Hillary might be interested in going to Moscow.

[WVNan]

So? What did he say that was so bad? Sounds reasonable to me.

[Alouette]

come to Moscow and "get circumcised".

Yeah, the "clippery" has just opened a branch office.

"It's the latest rage. The ladies love it."

Actually, a circumcision normally is no skin off anyone's back..
