Let me know if you want on/off the terrorist roundup ping list.
So it was neither a letter laced with poison(Khattab) nor a bomb homing toward satellite phone signal(Dudayev), dropped from a warplane? What is it this time?

"He was appointed foreign minister in 1999 by Aslan Maskhadov, who was democratically elected to the presidency of Chechnya in 1997."
Wow...he does.
Awesome news. I'm so glad to see this isn't another one of those "Zarqawi is Captured" style bogus alerts.
Basayev on the far right, Aslan on the far left.
1. Why the hell are all of these people who were such strong supporters of the U.S. "war on terror" in the Middle East criticizing the Putin government for its means of dealing with the Chechen separatists?
2. How the hell did all these "neo-conservatives" like William Kristol, Richard Perle, Norman Podhoretz, Caspar Weinberger, Michael Ledeen, Robert McFarlane, Alexander Haig, Elliott Abrams, James Woolsey, and Robert Kagan end up in the same leftist lobbying group as Geraldine Ferraro and Richard Gere?
I thought he was already dead.
I saw that list when the Russian school was attacked last year.

None of those names are GW's people. The only ones who has really had even a quasi relationship were Richard Perle, James Woolsey.
My wife will be overjoyed to hear this.
Hooray!

-good times, G.J.P. (Jr.)
Most of them are Reagan-era diplomats with a little anti-Russian sentiment still very alive in their veins?
Allahu Fubar!
Proof?
Na, he's big on the political side but as a war lord he was a medium cheese at best. Bin Ladin's man was Kattab (dead) and now Baseyov One-Leg. Now that guy is a true psychopath.
You know, I read an article where Orthodox Rabbies were pushing for putting pig meat on all the buses, so the suiciders would get mixed up with it and go to Hell. :0) I like Persing's approach to the Islamic Morro.
Well the crappy weather (thunderstorms) here in NC just got better with this ray of sunlight. Nice Lenton present.
