Sulymen if only US could keep it's nose out of other people's business.

2 cb1,
You are still here, aren't you? You even have a few boddies, Muslim ape. Camels like you should go to Grozny and help your lousy fated bros. He-he.
BTW I've been to turkey a few times. Nice place.

Ok Russians

Armenian is REALLY HUNGRY now!!!


PANT'S DOWN! START DEFECATING

I DON'T THINK ARMENIAN CAN WAIT!

Oh Armenian.. I love the way those funny muslim Turks taught your nation a nice lesson!!!

Armenian , Igor
Are you in US ?

I'm in US

Sulymen if America would stop agitating against Russia everything would have been alright,however they covertly supply this garbage and in the end it will come back on them ie Taliban,Bin Laden,Hezbollah,Hamas.

Apart from Turks I believe German have a 'certain' way of handling Armenians.


Nice people.. Germans

Nice people.. Germans

Who had that list of Chechen commanders,would like to check off the dead ones .Was it Kissie or Fred?

Another example of US not minding it's own business. http://asia.dailynews.yahoo.com/headlines/world/article.html?s=asia/headlines/000201/world/afp/Britain_defends_air_strikes_on_Iraq_in_face_of_critics_at_home.html

Admin, I am in US.
cb1, Germans are nice people. I agree. It does not make you a nice person though.

Sulymen, I agree with your post. Look at Igor....he post the causes of Russias problems are because of America. Typical , I am not am going to take responsibilty for my own problems. A situation that a lot of people like to follow because it doesn't let them think their problems can be of there own doing. "Hey its not my fault." People are always looking for excuses for their problems instead of looking at themselves. Now I am not saying Igor is the reason Russia is having problems but what I am saying is that some Russians don't want to hurt there own pride by admitting they contributed (as a country as a whole thru policies) to their own peoblems, it is just easyer to blame someone else.

Igor , I read the article you posted about Iraq. Gee sadam really cares about his own people and the reason they are suffering is only because of America. Yea right here is a guy who used gas on his own people plays games with the oil for food program while people go hungry . Don't you see that sadam sees his own people as pawns. Plus as far as the airstrikes, simple Iraq doesn't target US and UK planes and there won't be anymore. But then again if you would like to side with Sadam who by the way was an and still is assassin be my guest.

Bad news:
War not over:
By a fake withdrawal the rebels will strike the russians in the back.

Good news:
Dozens of young recruits surrendered after being LEFT ALONE by the chiefs of JIHAD THE CROOK .

Better news:
Today three top islamist commander died qnd not only young recruits suposed to give theyr lifes as martyr.

How is this Russia's fault?It lies directly at the feet of US policy in the region.

---

The American aim is to isolate Russia, surround it with U.S. allies and prevent the potential revival of a regional hegemon. From the American perspective as well, Georgia is the fulcrum. Georgia is the primary Caucasian recipient of U.S. financial aid and the pro-Western policy package that it buys. So far, U.S. support to Georgia has been sufficient to secure the country’s policy stance.

The United States must now weigh a decision. Should it effectively allow Russia use of Georgia to win in Chechnya? The stakes are huge. By appearing to abandon Georgia, the United States could signal to other former Soviet states that Washington is not a reliable partner. To answer this question, Washington must determine if Russia under Putin’s leadership is at the height of its belligerence, or if the war in Chechnya is only the beginning of Putin’s plans for Russia and its neighbors.

The latter scenario seems more realistic. Putin’s new domestic supporters credit him with the Chechen campaign. He was appointed prime minister on Aug. 9, 1999 and just two months later, on Oct. 1 Russian troops began the ground battle in Chechnya. Putin, now acting president, is ignoring Western pleas for peace in Chechnya. He is also simultaneously reining in the other CIS states and leading Russia into an era likely to be dominated by the country’s reclamation of its natural boundaries.

If Washington believes that Russia’s hostility is on the upswing, than U.S. leaders need to contemplate a new, multi-faceted policy concern. Is the timing right to put a stop to increasing Russian hostility and possibly prevent further conflict in the former Soviet states? Renewed Russian hostility now may not seem as scary to the West as it was a decade ago. After all, Russia has spent four months struggling just to quell a rebel uprising.

But to decide if now is the right time – and the Caucasus is the right place – to draw the line, U.S. policymakers must calculate Russian reaction. Two large and very dangerous scenarios present themselves. First, because it is unlikely that Putin will tolerate failure in Chechnya, he could be easily tempted to strike back by creating a crisis elsewhere -- most likely in the Baltics or on the fringes of Central Europe. Forced to choose, the United States would likely concede both Georgia and Chechnya. Second, constraining Russia right now could lead to a strange and unintended consequence. Putin could give way to an even more aggressive leader.

The challenge for the United States is to pull away from Georgia’s implication in Chechnya without seeming to abandon Georgia completely. The wrong perception could undermine the West’s entire agenda in the former Soviet Union.

Is it really necessary to loose 275 man, 3 commanders and 2 legs for "fake withdrawal" ?
