| Russian President Won't "Haggle" Over US Missile Defense Plans The US missile shield plans have been vehemently opposed in RussiaRussian President Medvedev has said he's willing to discuss the proposed US missile shield with Washington. But he added that any deal linking those talks with negotiations regarding Iran would not be productive. The White House spin team will have to kick in the afterburners to put a pony into this pile of crap! |

| #6 The foreign policy of wishful thinking...Well, OK, extend the olive branch. But is it too much to ask if there's a Plan B? A lightening bolt in the other hand? Hmmm? |

| #5 On the other hand, AP, given Russian history, they tend to be extra careful with megalomaniac leaders. |

| #3 You're 100% correct, Paul, but it's not just Russia. Arabs/Persians/Muslims respect power. The US projects weakness. Events are gonna accelerate. |

| #2 You'd think they'd learn. The American system is not linear, buy cyclic. They played this game in '76 with Carter to the point of the disastrous adventure in Afghanistan creating the 'interesting' world we now have. Chechnya just a barrel of fun isn't it Putie? Carter begets Reagan. How'd that work out for Moscow in the end. Take the opportunity when the taking is good. But no, they've got to play the Paleo political theater of 'always taking the opportunity to miss an opportunity.' |

| #1 The Russians smell weakness in the US, like many of our adversaries in the ME. They are going to make silly putty out of this Administration. The Russians respect power. The US projects weakness. Events are gonna accelerate. |
