Minister slams Putin's 'attacks' on democracy

Evening Standard ^ | 11-26-2006

[M. Espinola]

Some in the West are waking up.

[nuconvert]

Don't know anything about Peter Hain, but I like what he's saying about Putin.

[onedoug]

But...but...but, Bush looked in his eyes.

[oolatec]

Bets on who will be next on Putin's list... anybody?

[Long Island Pete]

Bush had better get some glasses. I didnt buy that crap back then and I dont buy it now. I have yet to come across a Russian I can trust. Sorry if that doesnt sound very PC, but then again the truth hurts.

[Long Island Pete]

Cindy Sheehan
Michael Moore
Al Franken
Howard Dean
George Soros
One can have dreams cant they?

[FreeReign]

But...but...but, Bush looked in his eyes.

Actually both Bush and Cheney have been critical of Putin, from the Ukraine to the Baltics to Georgia and the WOT, ever since that remark.

No matter to you. You remember the small talk introductory line from six years ago and you post it.

even lying eyes can deceive people. Bush wants to beleive the best in people, yet is a realist enough to understand that what he is up against- He was trying to give the american public anm assurance he might not have felt himself totally- now we're beginning to see the REAL putin emerge, which to be honest I NEVER trusted the bloke- I've spent too many years spotting weasels & putin just fit the profile to a T. http://sacredscoop.com

"But...but...but, Bush looked in his eyes."

But...he better look longer and closer.

[M. Espinola]

"Don't know anything about Peter Hain, but I like what he's saying about Putin"

Hopefully other Western leaders will take his lead of wisdom.

RIGHT HONOURABLE PETER HAIN MP Parliamentary Web Site

[Canard]

"Don't know anything about Peter Hain"

He's one of the more left wing of Blair's inner circle. Was very prominent anti-Apartheid protester in the 70's and 80's (his parents are South African iirc). Reportedly the only member of the cabinet to still maintain membership of CND.

[M. Espinola]

Perfect starters list lol

"...
a pocketful of mumbles, such are promises. All lies and jest. Still a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest."

"...
The thing is, ya see what you want to see,
and you hear what you want to hear. Ya dig?

Did you ever see Paris? No.
Did you ever see New Delhi? No.

Well that's it, ya see, what you want to see,
and you hear, what you want to hear.

And with that, the rock man fell sound asleep ..."

[OKIEDOC]

Yes some are waking up but a little to late just as with the Muslims and terrorism.

Some don't get the dangers in the world until it smacks them right in the face.

IE: Democrats take over congress and put radical San Francisco left wingers in charge of the hen house.

[M. Espinola]

You are more then correct.

What is a pack drugged out "ex" hippie radicals going to do in terms of all these dangers America is confronted with now and heading into 2007? The hour is far more later then must even dream.

[Thunder90]

The only thing that I see when I look into Putin's eyes is this:

[M. Espinola]

Two of those Evil Empire banners.

[TechnicalEcstacy]

What Bush said back then was pure diplomacy. I doubt he really felt he could trust Putin but it was a peace offering in the hopes that good relations would develope. And to a certain degree they did for a while.

[CottShop]

I agree absolutely

[Bon mots]

He better be careful when he badmouths Pootie Poot.

It's very unhealthy.
