The United States is harboring a Chechen rebel. Islamic fundamentalism and Chechnya-based groups are thought to be linked to al-Qaeda which is the same as Bush giving asylum to al-Qaeda. That’s pretty sick and the laugh is on the American people.
All along the United States has nurtured, sustained and used Islamic fundamentalism for its own dark purpose. The Baathists had also exploited Islam for years, whenever it suited their intention.
Putin wouldn’t keep repeating the allegation if there wasn’t something to it.
