Putin Warns US
Reported by CNN 18 October 2007
Quote:
Putin calls on U.S. to set pullout date in Iraq

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday called on the United States to set a date for withdrawal from Iraq, saying the U.S. military campaign had become a "pointless" battle against the Iraqi people. Putin used a live Russian TV and radio broadcast to criticize U.S. policy in Iraq, which he said was aimed in part at seizing oil reserves.
At the Goup Of Eight Conference, in St. Petersburg, Russia, Bush told an assembly of reporters that he had talked with Putin of his "desire to promote institutional change in parts of the world like Iraq – where there is a free press and free religion – and I told him that a lot of people in our country would hope Russia would do the same thing." Putin responded: "We certainly would not want to have the same kind of democracy as they have in Iraq, I will tell you quite honestly". Bush, then, replied: "Just wait".

And so we wait... and wait... and wait...

The military has plans packed away for virtually any circumstance...for invading every country, including our own.

You know, I've wondered about this. About how many members of Congress and Senate would back Bush on this? If a great majority don't and he decides to go ahead and do it anyway, could they start impeachment proceedings outside of railing against him?

I don't see Congress supporting a war with Iran.

Not until something blows up, anyways.

After what Congress and the Senate has seen in the war with Iraq, they are not about to support a war with Iran.
