Putin: Terrorist Aiming to Derail Bush Bid
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Filed at 3:52 a.m. ET

DUSHANBE, Tajikistan (AP) -- Russian President Vladimir Putin said Monday that terrorists are aiming to derail President Bush's chances at re-election through their attacks in Iraq.

Putin noted that his government continued to disagree with Bush on Washington's invasion of Iraq, which Russia strongly opposed as a permanent member of the U.N. Security Council.

2. Bush best thing to happen to Putin.
Putin is slowly consolidating his authoritarian grip over all of Russia, and Shrubya lets him run roughshod because he believes he looked into Pooty-poots "soul".

5. I think he is right which will only make people in this
country determined to vote for Bush even though he's wrong and they will be wrong to vote for him. Half of this country has this macho stance that we are all powerful and no one anywhere on this earth can beat us.

I think Bush should do the courageous thing and bow out of this race to make peace with the world. I know it will never happen because of his ego problem, but if he really loves this country, he should step down now.

7. He said he supports Gore
At the end, he says he respects the choice of the American people. That was Gore.

Bush was the choice of the states or Supreme Court or Jeb Bush or Katherine Harris or Theresa LaPore or Ralph Nader or whoever you want to blame.

8. Terrorists..................
Edited on Mon Oct-18-04 05:56 AM by DumpGump
want nothing more than to KEEP George Bush in the White House. He's been their most solid recruiting TOOL (Manpower and Money) ever! He;s their Golden Goose! Why the hell would they want to get rid of him? They're more than happy to die for their cause, so death isn't a deterrent. TERRORISTS LOVE GEORGE BUSH!

14. Those two sentences say it all:
Bush has been very good for Putin's career. He is always supplying Putin with a reason for trashing an American president.

17. Dictators united for bush!
"If this were a dictatorship, it would be a heck of a lot easier - just so long I'm the dictator."
g.w. bush - December 18, 2000

Putin would so love to keep consolidating his power like his role model the bu$h boy.

Fuck you Putin, stay out of our election!
