Putin Denounces Plans for Radical Islamic worldwide Caliphate
Vladimir Putin declared in Brussels on Monday that radical Islamic groups are planning to systematically annihilate non-Moslems and to create a worldwide Caliphate.
He added that western civilisation was at risk of being attacked by terrorists, these attacks being more than sporadic one-off attacks. Rather, they are, in the opinion of Vladimir Putin a concerted effort and programme by an organisation which has a global structure and which has the intention to commit murderous atrocities in the name of Islam.
Vladimir Putin also declared that there was a possibility that this organisation (Al-Qaeda) already has nuclear weapons. He did not hesitate to point out that the terrorists operating in Chechnya are part of this worldwide league of extremists and indeed are in constant contact with Osama Bin Ladens Al-Qaeda. Western sources repeatedly refer to the Chechens as separatists who want to fight for their independence, whereas the reality is quite different.
The Chechen terrorists are a small part of the 850,000 Chechen population, most of whom despise the bandits for what they are: common criminals with connections to international crime, posing in the name of Islam and separatism to gain sympathy for their cause from the ignorant or from those who periodically like to attack Russia.
President Putin declared that if the West does not deal effectively with the Chechen question, acts such as those perpetrated in Moscow and Bali will become commonplace all over the world.

Something tells me not to trust this man.
As much as I agree with what he is saying....I am not about to take a former KGB Agent at his word.

Putin can say that because the world doesn't hate Russia. They hate America however and will attack Bush for even mentioning the attackers were muslim.

Reagan said trust but verify.
Our interests diverge in some repects, but we have a common interest in dealing with Islamic terrorism. Putin has already cooperated with us in the war against the Taliban, allowing us to use bases in countries belonging to the former Soviet Union just to the south of Russia--which he could easily have denied us if he had wanted to.

Putin may be a hard-ass and may be attempting to justify his military actions, but in this case I believe he is correct and is probably even underestimating the strength of numbers, proportion of Muslims involved, and determination of their intent.

A gut feeling tells me something isn't right.
This man is pulling the wool over our eyes.
Reagan had it right when he said "trust but verify"

Yes. Trust but verify.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

What if.....
What if Putin made a deal with Islamic Terrorists?
You Don't Attack Me....and I won't help the U.S.
The only way for us to believe that would be for him to constantly condemn Islamic terrorism.
If Putin wants me to believe him...he needs to do more.

Ultimately it needs to be wiped out everywhere or contained in a very small space like all death cults it has viral properties.
