Russia Rejects Bullying Accusation by U.S.
MOSCOW - Russia on Friday rejected accusations by the top U.S. military officer that it, along with China, was trying to bully smaller Central Asian nations out of hosting U.S. troops fighting terrorism.

"We have been bewildered by the comments" of Gen. Richard B. Myers, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, a Foreign Ministry statement said.

"As is well-known, all decisions made within the framework of the SCO are consensus-based and reflect the collective opinion of all the member-countries," the ministry said.

The Shanghai Cooperation Organization, a regional alliance led by China and Russia, last week called on the U.S. to set a date for withdrawing forces from bases in the former Soviet republics of Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan.

2. US hit it's apogee in Afghanistan - Iraq began it's spiral downward
.

No bigee

just another country that fell into that "I'm invincible" trap -

but will be well remembered in the History books under the heading of "The rise and Fall of _________"

countries only a few centuries old should not take on continents and countries/civilizations that have been around for millenniums

sadly - the US will kill millions more b4 their fall -

(sigh)

3. BushCo has undermined the pretigious status of the USA in the world
They have squandered our standing among nations, and reduced the USA to a joke in global diplomatic circles.
