Putin Threatens United States
Bushies are not the only folks flushed with oil $$$$ and war profiteering.
With the United States stuck in the Middle East fighting a war that's drained nearly every penny out of its treasury while the military and oil elites cash in, Russian President Vladimir Putin suddently feels a little emboldened and is making a few headlines.
CNN reports that Putin has publicly told our hapless president to take his martial foreign policy and stick it where the sun don't shine.

Russian President Vladimir Putin called Thursday for imposing a moratorium on Moscow's participation in a key Soviet-era arms control treaty.
Putin "denounced what he said was foreign interference in Russia's internal affairs. " You see, he ain't too happy with the "U.S. plan plan to place ballistic missile defences in the Czech Republic and Poland." For some strange reason, Putin seems to view this idea in the same context as Kennedy when he learned the Soviet Union was placing a few nuclear warheads in Cuba in the 60s.
Of course, Bush's X-ray view to Putin's soul notwithstanding, there ain't a whole lot the U.S. can do except capitulate or start the cold war engines back up.
Putin has made clear that he will walk away from prior treaties that restricted the "deployment of heavy non-nuclear weapons" in Europe if the U.S. doesn't yell "uncle."
All that work in the last half of the 20th century down the tube because of this incompetent, inbred administration.
