| Russian president vows to eliminate airport attackers |
| 2011-01-26 |
| (Xinhua) -- The attackers behind Monday's deadly blast at Domodedovo airport must be eliminated, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said Tuesday. If they'd kept after them after Shamil became meat then there wouldn't be any problem today... "It is necessary to do everything possible to reveal, unmask and bring those responsible for the crime to justice. The nests of these snuffies must be destroyed," the president was quoted by RIA Novosti news agency as saying. The only way to make that work is to go after them and kill the controllers. The cannon fodder sets out to kill themselves, but the big turbans figure they're Too Important to the Movement™ to decompose. Meanwhile, ...back at the ranch... he urged the country's secret service to invest maximum efforts to counter terrorism and extremism. Try making them afraid to plot their terrorist operations... "The majority of the threats we talk about the last year, remain. These threats cannot disappear in a year as they have a prolonged nature," he told a meeting with the Federal Security Service ... the successor to the KGB... (FSB). You had a nice, long drop-off in carnage with the death of Basayev. There's a successor to Shamil operating now -- probably not Count Doku, but somebody in the shadows. Y'gotta find him and kill him, preferably spectacularly and publicly, then say "Next!" and wait for the next genius to step up. He urged the special service to pay special attention to the young people who could be easy prey for those provoking hatred, xenophobia and violence. Medvedev highlighted the need to secure safety during the APEC summit, the World Students Games and the Winter Olympics, due in 2012 in Vladivostok, in 2013 in Kazan and in 2014 in Sochi, respectively. "All sorts of criminals have been getting prepared for these events too," Medvedev warned, adding that upcoming general elections in Russia might also be a target for terrorists. A suicide kaboom killed 35 and injured over 100 at Moscow's busiest airport Monday. It was the second deadly attack in the Russian capital within a year. |

| #5 Regarding Beslan, do I recall something like "We'll scrape the from the sewers"? After Beslan (the elementary school massacre), Putin took revenge by ending the popular election of provincial governors, arrogating to himself the power to appoint them. Maybe this time, he’ll take revenge by appointing himself President-for-Life. |

| #3 Since another post claims the attackers were trained in Pakistan, I hope the Russians go viral in places we cannot tread. |

| #2 "We'll blast them out, even in the shit-house" (мочить в сортире) -- Vladimir Putin, September 24, 1999 Twelve years later and Chechens are still blowing up Moscow. |

| #1 James, Did you notice the complete lack of hand wringing and "why don't they like us?" on the part of the Russians? Karl, I believe Vlad the impaler Putin said that "retribution would be an INEVITABILITY" If I was a Czechnian, I'd beat it out of town. The Russians do not have anything vaguely resembling Liberal Angst about terrorism. |
