Nuclear Disputes Top Bush-Putin Meeting

[maddezmom]

WASHINGTON - President Bush and Russian President Vladimir Putin agree on how the world should confront the development of nuclear weapons in North Korea, a member of Bush's "axis of evil."

They disagree over how to address Iran's nuclear ambitions and have long-running differences over the U.S. led invasion of Iraq. Bush's famous list of international outlaws included those nations, too.

Bush was expected to argue at his meeting with Putin on Friday that Iran deserves to be summoned to the U.N. Security Council to account for what the U.S. contends is a record of nuclear deceit.

Putin has grievances over what Russia views as U.S. slights and double standards in its support for democracy movements on former Soviet turf. In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, the Russian leader was getting a view of the U.S. in a vulnerable moment.

1. All the while Bush & WH make plans to introduce small nuclear

bombs for anyone they suspect of potentially being aggressive.

Lovely!

2. Putin to Bush: Welcome to the Collapsed Empire Club.

Lots of opportunities for privitization, personal enrichment, nepotism and trafficking in arms, drugs and people. You'll enjoy the way things get done, da, Dubya?

3. I have no argument with keeping nuclear weapons in check for any..

country, including the US. The system for doing it should remain with the UN Security Council and not the US acting on its own.
