Why would the Chechen think NATO would be helpful to the Mujahideen? Hmmm?

Better idea, nuke Grozny and all of the mountain areas in Chechnya ... then wait for someone to speak up about peace negotiations; repeat as necessary.

One man, on his way to Moscow, with a suitcase...

Just remember, they intended to kill the 700+ people in the Russian theatre. They are the same dogs that we fight!!

Why would Basayev think NATO should pressure Putin? It's almost a requirement for al Qaeda members to do a tour in Chechnya. NATO helps him, they're helping al Qaeda.

I remember reading Solzhenitsyn's The Gulag Archipelago years ago where he relates the extreme hatred of Russia and fierce independence of Chechens in Stalin's gulags. They were fanatic ememies of Stalin and Communism and many of them were banished to Siberian labor camps were they died or were murdered by the hundreds of thousands by Stalin's NKVD.
When the German's invaded the Soviet Union and their troops reached Chechen territory one of the first things they did was allow open religious freedom in the region which resulted in many Chechen men enlisting under the Nazi banner so they could even the score with their Russian tormentors. Germany captured many millions of prisioners during their campaign in Russia and always found a stream of ready recruits in the camps among the Chechens and the Ukraininians. What is taking place in Chechnya today is no doubt a tragedy of major proportons but the Chechens lost much international support and good will when they allied their cause with radical Islam-but for this many of us would no doubt be avid supporters of their cause.

They know NATO is a political group. So they are exploiting it just as the KLA did.

Where's Fusion? Could someone please summon him? I need something to laugh at this morning.

[Grampa Dave]

Does Putin have enough gas to take care of Grozny and all of the mountain areas in Chechnya?

Sounds like a plan. Use it and let the Islamofascist/kazis die. Then let the left wing mediots around the world scream. Maybe he could coordinate his attack when we start to remove the world's biggest Islamofascist clymer, Uncle Sadda. Then two cancers can be removed at the same time.

[Angelus Errare]

Waiting for Mr. Basayev's press secretary, the honorable Fusion (Udugov, perchance?) for comment on this latest threat. While he's at it maybe he can tell us where bin Laden is.

[Stavka2]

Because NATO, through Turkey is hiding and feeding the parasites of humanity....all the while recieving US funds...never mind the massacre of 100,000 Greeks in Cyprus and 50,000 Kurds in Kurdistan.

They were under Clinton.
