Russia Threatens to Strike Terror Bases

Putin doesn't seriously believe that the US is allied with Al-Qaeda in any way,
shape, or form.....does he? That is a paranoid delusion.

Depends on your perspective. How stupid was it for the US to ally
themselves with the Mujehedin against a moderate and secular Afghan
government simply because that government had strong Soviet ties?
Anybody who viewed that conflict from the Soviet perspective is
excused for thinking that the US is capable of such a strange
alliance. At the same time that the US fought Islamic fundamentalism
in Iran they were supporting it in Afghanistan.

Do you think the great "sovietologist" Condoleeza Rice is living
completely in the here and now?



Well,acc.to BBC translation service Putin said the following:

"Some want to cut off a juicy morsel from us while others are helping
them.
They are helping because they believe that,as one of the worlds MAJOR
nuclear powers,Russia is STILL posing a threat to SOMEONE and this and
this threat must be removed.
And Terrorism is,of course,only a TOOL for achieving these goals".


Apparently Putin,an ex-spymaster, and Russians know very well who is
behind AQ and so called Islamic Terrorism.
