| Putin: Bush election win shows US does not fear terrorism |
| 2004-11-03 |
| If incumbent U.S. President George W. Bush were elected for a second term, it would show that U.S. citizens have not allowed themselves to succumb to the threats of international terrorists, Russian President Vladimir Putin said Wednesday. "I am convinced that one of the goals of international terrorism is to prevent Bush from being reelected," he said, adding that recent statements made by Osama bin Laden only confirmed his theory. Bush is a tough man and a consistent politician, Putin said, adding that he is a reliable and predictable partner. Russia hopes that Bush shows his qualities and experience, gained over the last four years, to run such a large and important nation as the U.S., Putin said. Meanwhile, whoever wins in the elections, Russia-U.S. relations would not be easy, Putin said, adding that there were always some problems between countries like Russia and the U.S. He did not elaborate. But he said that over the last four years bilateral relations have been transformed and have improved greatly for the sake of international security, Putin said. When it comes to terrorism, the thing you most have to fear really is fear itself. Putin definitely gets it. |
