I am thinking that having the warning issue from Putin's mouth-was a little beyond brilliant. The middle east is in deep, deep 'doo-doo'. It was probably bad enough being blackmailed and extorted by the radical islamists, now these rich oil shieks (shakes, sheeks, shams) turn around and find themselves looking down the barrel of world awareness of their treachery. Verbally delivered by Putin standing beside the President of the United States. Not fun.

hope you are right.
I doubt it though.

Bush and Bowell seem to be pretty cozy with these folks.
I hope it's an act.

Excellent point. Thank you for pointing this out.
