How else to explain Putin's suprise announcement of credible intelligence of planned Iraqi terrorist attacks on the US?

Was Hussein really planning such attacks? I'm inclined to think he was. The left has portrayed Saddam Hussein as utterly peaceable and without any malign intentions, but they never seem to acknowledge that Saddam attempted to murder a former US President using terrorist assassins as revenge for his military defeat.

And that, of course, was during the magical age of "containment."

It would also seem that Bush is on better terms with one of our vaunted "allies" than Kerry and the DNC maintain. The left will spin this as an utterly baseless claim and a mere political favor to Bush.

All right. Let's say it is just a political favor.

Why is the President of Russia, whom the left claims is so completely alienated by Bush, doing him such enormous favors? You'd almost think Russia was engaging in friendly diplomacy with the unilateralist warmonger Bush.

Glib Minds Also Think Alike Update: Now I don't trust Putin in the slightest. But if he's lying that's interesting and if he's telling the truth, that's interesting.

SHOCKING NEWS!!!

Believe it or not -- I'm sure you're having trouble with the very notion -- but the liberal media isn't covering this story at all.

Thanks to RDBrewer for alerting me to this absolutely-shocking development.

PS: Those sirens are "ironic sirens." I am not actually surprised. I am not, in fact, a retard.
