Now there's (http://www.cnn.com/2004/WORLD/europe/10/18/putin.iraq/index.html) an endorsement for you, from that bastion of peace, freedom and, don't forget democracy.

Yet Kerry thinks he can get more cooperation from our "allies". Yeah right!! And Kerry has never said what he would do if they won't come on board w/ him.

...i don't know what bush has said either. so far it's just the beginnings of human rights violations, so that's the territory of the UN, but think of it this way: it's still Russia. what're you gonna do, land an unbelievably huge attack from poland and sweep your way up to Moscow, instantly gain control of the whole country and install a new dictat... i mean, democracy?? yeah, really. there're reasons that russia's never unsuccessfully defended her own soil, numbers and a vast landscape. a piddly little second world country like iraq is more than you guys can handle at the moment (even as the major point of military focus).

not that i'm suggesting it would come to that, but if it had to what would the US do?? certainly not attack, it's the same as china's human rights violations, "hey, ya, please don't do that, please". china reply's "fuck off", the rest of the world "ok sure, sorry".

...i wonder what this really does say about bush and his visions of the future if putin is backing him...

This surprises you, he hasn't said anything about anything he's going to do, all we hear is he has a plan.. oh well he can take his time off after Nov 2nd to fill in the details on what those plans would have been :D

LOL.... so true..... you're a little wacky but I agree with you here :D

either way russia was and is against the war in iraq, and they say they will work with whomever gets elected. Czar Putin is a mixed blessing for russia...human rights and freedom wise he is terrible, but for the economy and general russian solidarity and nationalism, hes the right ticket...Russians like strong leaders a lot.

Russia/Putin has developed closeness with the Bush and vice versa simply because it has given recent legitmacy/backing with their own long standing issues (war or whatever you want to call it) trying to reign in the Georgian state.

The reason they differed on Iraq is because Russia had billions owed and billions in future energy contracts with Hussien, a tough pill to swollow the loss.

not to mention existing and future military contracts.

To be fair and balanced check out whos endorsing Kerry!

Is Arafat a terrorist? If so he is backing your guy. I feel bad for Kerry or any candidate this guy would endorse.

Enjoy.

Umm, that makes no sense. So you're saying that Bush's integrity and reputation should drop because someone agrees with him? Uh-oh, Arafat is backing Kerry and I'm sure others that are not held in such high regards with us have similar beliefs to both candidates. Should other country's leaders opinions take presidence over the citizens of this country? This statement is just ignorant.

So is the following statement:

there're reasons that russia's never unsuccessfully defended her own soil, numbers and a vast landscape.

They were getting run over by Germany in WW2 my friend.


Hmmmm, so Russia's opinion matters when it is convienant to you? Their opinion mattered when they didn't want to enforce resolution 1441. Now Russia's opinion doesn't matter. Nice stance Wakeech.
