#3 Putin announces intention to quit in 2008

That should give him more than enough time to cripple Russia permanently.

Putin said that he would advise his successor to take action to reduce poverty and to ensure the growth of the Russian economy.

Unlike himself. And supplying terrorist nations with nuclear technology cannot be defined as a "growth" industry.

#4 Putin announces intention to quit in 2008

hey...give pootie a break, he just wants to retire to his KGB Dacha meet his neighbor's little grand kids...

pootie "He seemed to me very independent, very serious, but at the same time a boy is always vulnerable. He was very sweet. I'll be honest, I felt an urge to squeeze him like a kitten and that led to the gesture that I made, there was nothing behind it....really"



Ewwwwwwwwwww..

#6 I don't buy it. Putin has complete control of the Duma with his Unity Party. They could very easily decry the lack of candidates, change the constitution to allow him another term, and "draft" him.
I'll believe it when he walks out of the Kremlin.

#7 Dos he intend to take the white cat with him, or is it a Kremlin prop for the next "Leader" to publicly fondle?
