Anna Chapman, A Russian Spy Has Been Arrested

Putin blames American law enforcement for the arrest of eleven Russian spies, claiming it has all been timed by "Hawks" who are anxious to scuttle Obama's disarmament plans.  Mr Putin expressed his concern and anger with Bill Clinton:

"Back at your home, the police went out of control [and] are throwing people in jail," Mr. Putin said. "But that's the kind of job they have," he added, drawing a laugh from Mr. Clinton when he heard the translation.

"I hope that all the positive gains that have been achieved in our relationship will not be damaged by the recent event," Mr. Putin added.

Mr Putin is rightfully concerned that cooler heads in the US realize the advantage the Russians have with our simple-minded president and his efforts to leave the US vulnerable to the Russians.

Many Russian officials and analysts said they presumed that hawkish elements within the U.S. government had engineered and timed the arrests to embarrass President Obama and undermine the "reset." Mr. Putin echoed that concern during a meeting at his residence outside Moscow with former U.S. President Bill Clinton.

Realizing the political advantage of a president with Obama's naive Pollyanna view of the Russian threat, the Russians are anxious to minimize the possibility of renewed distrust by Americans who might believe that Russian spies were actually here on a nefarious mission.

The communists have captured the White House and both houses of congress. They routinely publish classified information on the front page of the New York Times. Why would they need to waste money on “spies” at this point?

Secret high tech military technology? Why don’t they do what the Chinese do and just buy the companies that make this stuff?

The Russians must be hard up for attractive women if they had to use Anna Chapman as a spy.

You’re right. I hadn’t noticed that before. I think the Pope has discerned evil. I don’t mean to be disrespectful to the Pope, but he should have tackled Obama and started calling for an exorcist.

So everyone is calling the kettle black. (Is “White” the correct PC?)

We must have a zillion of our own folks implanted all over the world.

So what is the scandal and what is new?

Boring indeed.

I don’t get what information these spies were gathering. Did any of them have access to military secrets or state department secrets? What damage did they do?

The charge of spying might generate a little more emotion among Americans if we could see what harm they caused.

Hah! Now that you mention it, his smile does look more like a grimace, and he seems to be trying to keep the pRes at maximum distance...
