Putin Knows Bush Behind School Siege Children’s Deaths

Bush has surpassed himself in stupidity. Give him credit considering his history of idiocy that was not an easy task. The only people who don’t know what is really going on are the comatose pro-Bush Americans who think this is solely a war on terror, spout partisan crap and ultimately in their moronic stupor will get everyone destroyed.

This will go down as the defining moment in history where the world has been jarred into reality as to the depths the United States is willing to sink in their quest for hegemony.

In the future you will see surface alliances, faked friendships forged with the United States, in order for foreign countries to bide time and enhance their nuclear arsenals.

The world community understands that a country such as the United States who has fallen below the abhorrent behavior of even a bin Laden is capable of turning on anyone even their staunch supporters England and Israel. Usama bin Laden, criminal par excellence, has not killed near the number of innocent children as Bush and his supporters.

Bush who recently has vowed never to negotiate with terrorists "in Afghanistan, Iraq, and elsewhere," and told a campaign rally last week: "You can't talk sense to these people. You can't negotiate with them. You cannot hope for the best. We must engage these enemies around the world" will pay terrorists, specifically the AUC, with taxpayer money to destroy democratically elected Chavez of Venezuela for oil. Not only does Bush negotiate with terrorists he takes them to his bosom as allies. We saw this again when Bush gave asylum to Chechen/al-Qaeda rebel, Ilyas Akhmadov, who is connected to the attacks in Russia.

They were being helped in their effort to do so by outside actors who still "assume that Russia, as one of the major nuclear powers, still poses a threat" and had now turned to terrorism to further their objectives, Putin said.

If Putin were referring to Muslim terrorists he would name them as he usually does. The terrorists who slaughtered those Russian children were backed by Bush.

We are the outside actor, we have always feared Russia’s nuclear powers, we have never risen above the Cold War mentality or we would not be in a new arms race. We killed the Russian children.

Europe knows and more importantly China knows.

Most significantly this ‘defining moment’ has cemented the Russian-Chinese alliance. When Bush wins and he will, you lose. Watch your futures end.

Excerpt Russian bear stirs in Putin speech:

The country had been weakened and had let down its guard in recent years, leaving itself "unprotected from both the West and the East" and vulnerable to the kinds of extremist attacks it has been hit with again in recent days.

Focusing on the Caucasus, where separatist and ethnic violence has been a daily fact of life for years, if not centuries, Putin warned that "some" — he did not specify whom — were trying to "tear a piece" of Russia off.

They were being helped in their effort to do so by outside actors who still "assume that Russia, as one of the major nuclear powers, still poses a threat" and had now turned to terrorism to further their objectives, he said.

Russia has officially expressed concern about the intentions in the Caucasus of foreign actors ranging from the United States to Islamic extremists, and Putin's comments could be seen as a warning directed at any or all of them.

Russian bear stirs in Putin speech
Posted Sun, 05 Sep 2004

They were words of comfort for countrymen pained and afraid after a wave of attacks, but President Vladimir Putin's address to Russians also held a strategic message for the world: the bear is waking up.

In a deftly-crafted speech, Putin gave voice to the sorrow and horror that has enveloped the nation after the deaths of hundreds held hostage at a school in southern Russia, and expressed compassion for its victims.

But he also articulated the larger anguish of a people struggling to understand not just the wrenching violence that shook their country in recent days but the historic chaos in which they have lived for more than a decade.

Warning sounded to outsiders

And casting his country's ongoing metamorphosis in a broader historical context, he delivered a subtle but unmistakeable warning to outsiders who would seek to take advantage as Russia tries to find its feet: back off.

"There have been many tragic pages and painful events in the history of Russia," he said in his address, broadcast Saturday on national television.

"We live in conditions resulting from the collapse of a huge, great state — a state that proved unviable in a fast-changing world," said the 51-year-old Putin, who was once an agent of the Soviet KGB intelligence service.

Russians, he said, expected change for the better after the 1991 collapse of the Soviet Union, an expectation that has not been met at all for many who were unprepared for the changes that have in fact occurred in their society.

Frank admissions of failure

In an unusually frank admission of weakness calibrated to strike a human chord with many, Putin confessed Russia had "failed to understand the complexity and the danger" of the new world it was confronting.

The country had been weakened and had let down its guard in recent years, leaving itself "unprotected from both the West and the East" and vulnerable to the kinds of extremist attacks it has been hit with again in recent days.

That however was about to change, Putin said. The taking of 1000 hostages at a school in southern Russia and a string of other attacks in the space of a week showed Russia needed a "dramatically" new security system.

Putin has always presented himself as a forceful, decisive leader, qualities that many Russians admit they seek in a head of state, and his address to the nation was true to form.

Focusing on the Caucasus, where separatist and ethnic violence has been a daily fact of life for years, if not centuries, Putin warned that "some" — he did not specify whom — were trying to "tear a piece" of Russia off.

They were being helped in their effort to do so by outside actors who still "assume that Russia, as one of the major nuclear powers, still poses a threat" and had now turned to terrorism to further their objectives, he said.

Russia has officially expressed concern about the intentions in the Caucasus of foreign actors ranging from the United States to Islamic extremists, and Putin's comments could be seen as a warning directed at any or all of them.

Change of direction

Whatever their foreign audience though his remarks also sent a clear signal to the Russian policy establishment that the country's strategic status-quo was no longer viable and a change of direction was now in order.

"This is not a challenge to the president, the parliament or the government. This is a challenge to the whole of Russia," Putin said.

"We simply cannot, should not, live as carelessly as before."

It was an address for the history books and one that heralded changes ahead for Russia that will inevitably have an impact on Moscow's approach to relations with the rest of the world.

The mass hostage-taking at a Russian school which led to the deaths of many Russian children was planned by Shamil Basayev, Russia's most wanted Chechen rebel, who has been behind several major attacks outside Chechnya. Basayev is a compatriot and acquaintance of Maskhadov who is an associate of Akhmadov who is being harbored by the United States.
