Putin: Terror Attacks Aimed at Bush

Mon Oct 18,11:16 AM ET


DUSHANBE, Tajikistan - Russian President Vladimir Putin (news - web sites) said Monday that terrorists are aiming to derail U.S. President George W. Bush (news - web sites)'s chances at re-election through their attacks in Iraq (news - web sites).

"I consider the activities of terrorists in Iraq are not as much aimed at coalition forces but more personally against President Bush (news - web sites)," Putin said at a news conference after a regional summit in the Tajik capital, Dushanbe.

"International terrorism has as its goal to prevent the election of President Bush to a second term," he said. "If they achieve that goal, then that will give international terrorism a new impulse and extra power."

Still, Putin didn't say which candidate he favored in the Nov. 2 U.S. presidential election.


"We unconditionally respect any choice of the American people," he said. "I don't want to spoil relations with either candidate."


Putin also noted his continuing disagreement with Bush on Washington's invasion of Iraq, which Russia strongly opposed as a permanent member of the U.N. Security Council.


"Russia was always against the military operations in Iraq," he said.


Despite their differences, Bush and Putin have cooperated closely in the international war on terror, with Russia assenting to the deployment of U.S. forces in former Soviet Central Asia for operations in neighboring Afghanistan (news - web sites). In exchange, Washington has mostly looked the other way on Moscow's continuing war in breakaway Chechnya (news - web sites), which Russia alleges is being fueled by international terror groups.


On his last visit to Central Asia in June, Putin appeared to be backing Bush's assertion that Iraq was a threat, saying at a summit in Kazakhstan that Russia had notified Washington about intelligence that Saddam Hussein (news - web sites)'s regime was preparing attacks in the United States and its interests abroad.


No further details were given, and Putin also said then that the warning didn't change Moscow's opposition to the Iraq war.

so, they want to de-rail Bush. Okay. So do lots of people. So how is a vote for Kerry a vote for terroists? Just because people don't want to vote for Bush and the fact that the terrorists don't like Bush just happens to be something in common doesn't mean they are also supporting each other.

Are you really that dense?

[DipDipDive]

I don't see how that article correlates with Kerry's role in the fight against terror. Seems to me like the media is trying to play up the fact that W might actually have an ally, which is Kerry's goal, as well.

[ASsman]

It's obvious. Kerry is funding terrorist. God you people are slow.

[Vladimir]

This is the same "guilty-by-association" logic that sisko used in his old "Muslims are Terrorists" (or whatever he called it) thread. I'm sure 100% of the membership of the Ku Klux Klan is voting for Bush. That doesn't necessarily make Bush a member of the Ku Klux Klan by association. The logic just doesn't hold up.

[Baraka]

The mentality shared by millions of Americans is frightening. Their mindset seems to be you're either a Republican, or you're the enemy. It reminds me a lot of how conditions were in the Soviet Union, particularly during the rise of Stalin, and of course Germany in the 1930s. But then again, there was the dreaded McCarthyism of the 1950s.

[yeahwho]

I am not slow I got that right away. Cave dweller's of a feather dwell together. Dwell on that my fellow dwellers.

[QueenAdrock]

Exactly. Vote for Bush out of fear! And I'm glad to see that the article is based on evidence, as opposed to a vague generalization. Terrorists should be very, very afraid when Kerry's in office.

[Funkaloyd]

Aha, Kerry's going to kill them, as opposed to bring them to justice. Seems like a sound plan...

[Echewta]

I dont see how Putin can be against the operation in Iraq and not thing that its stirred up the hornets nest even more. There is a new and larger generation of middle east teens and 20s that are pissed about what happened in Iraq.


Whatever.

[SobaViolence]

wtf does Putin know about terrorism, he's doing the same shit as Bush in Chechnya and neighbooring ex-USSR countries.

[ms.peachy]

Lemme get this straight -

If Bush loses, it will be a victory for the terrorists, and they will be spurred on by this victory, and there will be more terrorist attacks.

If Bush wins, it will be a defeat for the terrorists, and they will be enraged by this defeat, and there will be more terrorist attacks.

Is that how it works?

[Space]

wag the dog bitches, wag the dog.

anyway, at this moment in time we are more than ready for any terrorist.

the terrorist being the enemy that is.

[ClifRa JOnes]

Now wasn't this fun?

I thought so.

[ASsman]

Asshole. oops I mean Ass****
THANKS FCC!

[infidel]

Don't cha know, every glop of Heinz catsup supports another round in Osama's AK-47

[ASsman]

Why would he have multiple AK47's. Not good for hiking.

[bobbydigital]

Ok, I'm sick of this shit. I have no fucking clue why people think that by having bush in office will lead to the decline of terrorism. They fucking flew planes into the wtc while he was in office. Has he obtained the person responsible, NO. So I don't know where this notion of "terrorists want Kerry in office" got started, but it's bullshit. The only reason that there hasn't been another attack is because the terrorists can't get their shit together, not because bush is the terror slayer. What has done in his term other than start a stupid war and vacation?

[DipDipDive]

He choked on a pretzel. That was fun.

Whoops, forgot that one. Good lookin', money! (y)

You know I have a problem with this statement. Think about it. The Bush family has close ties to the Saudis. Osama is a Saudi and a member of a very prominent family from within Saudi Arabia. No doubt a very influential one at that. The Bush team knew that the people of this country would never stand by for an invasion of Iraq for some cooked up reasons like the ones they gave us. However, we had 9/11. Now this is the trump card. Like Pearl Harbor all over again. Osama, they say, is the black sheep of his family. How many of you have sons out there? Would you give him up to a foreign country even if he had fallen out of favor with you? They knew 9/11 would enrage us enough to stand by while we invaded a sovereign nation with no ties to 9/11. So where are we now? We won't be attacked unless it is authorized by our own government. "Operation Northwoods" anyone? The thing that worries me about Kerry is that he isn't vehemently anti-war. He should have been all along. I guess the Dems. knew that too much could be just written off to "conspiracy theory" which is a shame because in this day and age you need to replace "theory" with "action".

[infidel]

No need for "theory". Just look at the CIA report that names names of the administration officals responsible for 9/11. It's been ready since Sept but bush won't let it be released until after the election. Wonder why?
My hope is someone will leak the report next week.

Pa-lease! 9 of 11 hijackers were Saudis primarily to undermine the Saudis in the eyes of the US. bin Laden is far more interested in toppling the House of Saud then toppling the US. It is a more attainable goal.

The US governments ties to the House of Saud go back a long way. As does anyone in the oil industry. Are they right and good? Probably not. Do I like these facts? No not really.

But you just happen to have a copy.

[DroppinScience]

Trut That!

Bwahahahahahah! Now that is the funniest thing. :)

[infidel]

But you just happen to have a copy.

No but I keep up with the news. If you had been paying attention you would have heard also, several senators have been trying to get it released for months.

[shuriken]

i agree that terrorists would prefer having Kerry in office because hes less likely to start a war, but that doesnt mean that Bush means less terrorist attacks. i think Bush angers them more so there'd probably be more terrorist attacks as more ppl join organizations like al qaeda and more ppl get pissed off at Bush

[ASsman]

That would be counterproductive for them, they would have less to fight for. Also less people would support their actions, in theory of course.

[infidel]

They want a war with the US because it draws worldwide attention to their gripes.
Bush is just an unknowing pawn in bin Laden's game, falling for it over and over.
OBL knows by appearing to support Kerry by chopping down bush that more people will vote bush.
Bush is known factor for bin Laden, Kerry isn't.
Why fight with someone of intelligence when you can fight a fool?
