Russia is a valued and important ally in the War on Terror.

That's exactly right. "Uncle Joe" Stalin was our ally when we needed him to fight a bigger threat. Without him, we would have lost WWII. We don't intend to lose the war on terror.

"The enemy hopes they can hide until we tire. But we're going to prove them wrong. We will never tire, and we will hunt them down. We will fight these evil ones, and we will win."

Putin was also helpful to President Bush, when he made it public ( which of course the US MSM worked hard to ignore), that Russian intelligence agents reported that Saddam was sending terrorists to the US after the 9-11 attacks. (Putin passed the info to Bush at the time).

Russia 'warned U.S. about Saddam'

MOSCOW, Russia (CNN) -- Russian intelligence services warned Washington several times that Saddam Hussein's regime planned terrorist attacks against the United States, President Vladimir Putin has said.

The warnings were provided after September 11, 2001 and before the start of the Iraqi war, Putin said Friday.

The planned attacks were targeted both inside and outside the United States, said Putin, who made the remarks during a visit to Kazakhstan.

"I can confirm that after the events of September 11, 2001, and up to the military operation in Iraq, Russian special services and Russian intelligence several times received ... information that official organs of Saddam's regime were preparing terrorist acts on the territory of the United States and beyond its borders, at U.S. military and civilian locations," Putin said.

Stalin was never, never, ever our ally!

Wow! You mean we had no other use for all those tanks and AirCobras we shipped to Stalin the killer runt man? If you mean "ally" in the extremely narrow sense of one who ground up lots of Germans, relieving us of the need to do so , then you could call the evil pig an "ally". In terms of his effect on the final outcome against Hitler, Stalin was contributory but in no sense whatsover dispositive. Our victory over Hitler would have ensued even if the D-Day landings had been thrown back. You see, we had this little aircraft carrier yclept HMS Sceptred Isle. Read Churchill's history of WWII, all six volumes. You will find that the Russkies haven't changed much.
