| President Vladimir Putin said that Russia is not interested in U.S. defeat in Iraq but wants to return the Iraq issue to the UN agenda. Translation: Now that Saddam is dead, we can settle this another way... "Russia is not interested in the United States' defeat in Iraq for political and economic reasons. We want the Iraq issue to be brought back into diplomatic channels," Putin told journalists after a session of the State Council's board in Tambov on Wednesday. |

| #5 Putin's delusion of Russian relevancy is the natural byproduct of paying a decade-and-a-half's worth of 'multilateralism' lip service to our vanquished cold war foe. Can somebody in authority finally explain to these people that, in 2003, Russia is basically Paraguay with a navy? |

| #1 Vlad, if it's not political or economic, then for what reason are you interested in the Coalition's defeat? You slept with the French, now you have to live with the disease... |
