Putin takes swipe at US over Iraq

[Say_What]

<clips>

Russian President Vladimir Putin has taken a dig at the United States over Iraq, telling an international audience that Iraqis trust Moscow more than they do Washington.

"The country's (Iraq's) people, of course, have far greater trust in their traditional partners than in, shall I say, those who now control the situation," he told a World Economic Forum meeting.

Russia has for years maintained close relations with Baghdad and was an opponent of the U.S.-led war that toppled Saddam Hussein.

The Kremlin leader was far gentler in tone than U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan who, in blunt criticism of Washington, said earlier the world body could not play a proper political role in Iraq under Washington's terms.

5. I suspect that the word is out on PNAC

I think the line is pretty well drawn on the US adventures in the ME. We are consigned to spending our time and energy maintaining law and order on a broken Iraq....any further overtures on invading other ME countries will not meet with the same resignation by the world community.

How smart are the members in the PNAC'cle club anyway? Posting their plans for world domination on the Internet for everyone to see. They may be the most arrogantly stupid collection of conspirators that have ever stumbled onto our political landscape.

6. Hitler did the same thing.

Great minds think alike? I bet Ahnuld thinks so.

8. You are brilliant!!!........Perfectly said!!!

I was talking to a good friend and told them how
stupid could these bozos be?....

Their IQ on management of people and management on Foriegn Affairs
must be at a level below that of (God Forgive me)one diagnosed with
Down Syndrome.

Mind you, I believe that people of this disorder are
spiritually at a much higher level.But this WH has no
soul that resides in their physical form.
