I'm sure State has been on the line with Moscow for days, and Bush has a "let's cooperate more" proposal to bring up with Putin.
Just because nothing is happening in front of a camera doesn't mean nothing is happening period. The plan may be to wait until Russia agrees to increase WOT cooperation, and then wrap everything into one announcement.
It's mindboggling to think that this isn't being addressed. I sure hope you're right, Terpfen. God help us all, if you're not. Really, what in the h#$$ does it take for nations to band together, say, ENOUGH"...and address the situation. If we don't, we're next.
With all due respect, are you friggin' kidding???? Imagine if someone had flown planes into the World Trade Center, but instead of providing any information on what was going on, the media spent a whole 2 days telling you about some earthquake tremors in California. That's the magnitude of what they did. Russia had a catastrophic, horrendous, 9/11 like terrorist event....and our media spent 48 hours -- correction, wasted 48 hours breathlessly reporting on rain in Florida. Every damn one of them should be called on the carpet for it. I've already written FNC expressing my complete disgust with them.
I don't care what Russia's role, or non-role in the WoT has been. How much did we hear about a train bombing in Spain? More than this. How much did we hear about French journalists being kidnapped? More than this. How much did we hear about Abu Graib? A damn sight more than this! All pale in comparison to what happened in Beslan last week! VMI70 said it well -- mad enough to chew nails. The media should be embarrased and ashamed for treating this horrific event as nothing more than filler. Pathetic.

And you know what the imbeciles will scream the minute he mentions it: "Bush is exploiting the Russian school tragedy for political purposes!"
Much better he wait til he can announce something substantive.
