Dear Chechen rebels,

Rather than attacking school children, you might start at the top first...then be sure to execute each other.

Hey Russian Journalists

DUCK!!!

Another Russian journalist critical of the government of Vladimir Putin has died under mysterious circumstances.

I didn't realize that Dick Cheney was also vice president in Russia.

I dunno, I've looked into Putin's eyes and I know he has a good heart.

It was nice knowing you subby, good luck in the next life.

screams incomprehensible: I didn't realize that Dick Cheney was also vice president in Russia.

Cheney is dying of jealousy

it might not be putin
you see the mob is so entrenched in all apsects of societal functioning over there that it might be a mob related hit..you cant be sure
i read somewhere that most of the cash in Russia has pssed through organized crime at one point or another
that is just rediculous

You expect ME to say something bad about the guy?

/in my country, critic kill YOU

The most mysterous thing about the whole story:

He was shopping for oranges.

Russia a corrupt kleptocracy?

Surely, you are Putin me on

I, for one, LOVE the health benefits of Polonium.

Good to see my mother country is kicking it old skool

Mess with Pooty-Poot and you're swimming with the fishes.

"Intelligence reports emanating out of Russia peg the numerical size of the Russian Mafia ("mafiya") at 100,000 members owing allegiance to 8,000 stratified crime groups who control 70-80% of all private business and 40% of the nation's wealth."

RISKY RUSKIES!

has he explained this yet?

well Russia has been mafia-run since the soviet union fell... add to that most of russia is dirt poor

and yeah, naturally you'll get a guy like Putin in power who centralizes everything and whatnot

i wouldn't be surprised if a lot of Russians genuinely DID support him

/but wouldn't be surprised if they didn't either
//for the love of god this is Russia we're speaking of! not the United States! don't confuse the boundaries of the two

Someone is Putin out the message that there is nowhere to run to and nowhere to hide if we no like.

Joseph Stalin approves!

/hope the image doesn't fark out

He's sucking out the child's soul?

Putin is former KGB, this isn't too surprising.

That's what Chavez is counting on. Well, not the support of the russian people, but you get my point.

Oh c'mon, Putin is nothing like Stalin. How many millions of people has Putin killed or sent to gulags?

Swear this is a repeat.

Here, read this. It's a good book.

russians do love putin. I heard a guy on NPR say it very well. "if the government announced: either you can have a free press or free sausages, people would certainly choose the sausages."

also I heard a strange but somewhat head-scratching theory that putin's political underlings were commiting all the murders in an attempt to tarnish putin's name and make it impossible for him to leave the country thus strengthening their own post-putin position in the russian government. Putin could out them for the criminals they are, but if his credibility is destroyed and his own position is in jeopardy, he won't.

PUTIN 6 Journalists zilch.
I heard Putin pulled a blasphemy on the church and that was what the first reporter wrote about just before she was killed.
Rep. Smith R 5th Iowa connected the dots Friday afternoon on C Span in a way that struck a note of common sense if you subscribe to they [The Russians ] just changed horses didn't give up the game.
Now if Putin just comes up with all the answers we can call him DA DA .

Well, who doesn't love Rootin' Tootin' Vladimir Putin?

I wouldn't be suprised if Putin wasn't pretty well connected with the Russian Mafia.

I was in Russia for 4 months very recently, and a common questioned asked of me was whether or not I liked Bush. I always said I hated the man. Some thought he was OK, others thought he was retarded.

The interesting thing was that out of everyone I talked to, they all loved Putin. Only one guy said anything critical, and that was just that Putin was certainly behind the killing of that spy in Britain. He liked Putin as a leader, though.

he sucked when he was with the Rangers. Our D has gotten better since he left.

Willie Stokes: "I dunno, I've looked into Putin's eyes and I know he has a good heart."

So, you criticize Bush when he doesn't engage North Korea. You also criticize Bush when he attempts to engage Putin. You take a story about the Russian Government potentially killing 13 journalists and use it as an excuse to trash our President.

Bush may or may not be an a-hole, but with you there is no doubt.

Russia, is where US will end up if it keeps allowing its leaders to crap all over its constitution.

There is still a long way to go, but damn, we've really made some big strides during the past 6 years.

"Also, do you see how quickly we (failed to) subdued Afghanistan you little Russian pricks?"

Fixed.

Oh come on, you tinfoil hattists!

Who here hasn't fallen from the fourth-storey window of a stairwell?

And of course it was suicide. There isn't a more picturesque place to end your own life than the dingy, flicker-lit stairway of a musty concrete Soviet-era apartment block.

/that's a troll that, instead of living under a bridge, sits in a lawnchair on top and offers a beer from the cooler to anyone that passes

Everybody in Russia loves Putin, if they know what's good for them!

Alphax: Putin is former KGB, this isn't too surprising.


Ha ha, somebody's daddy was head of the CIA. Hmmm . . . who was it, who was it . . .

\Ron Paul for president

Trust The Computer. The Computer is Your Friend

hasnt fox been running a lot of negative stuff on him?

if not maybe we could suggest something

include hillary clinton and they will run it

up next on redeye... vladamir putin says he would defect to vote for hillary, or cornhole either olson twin

haha i liked that headline.

A better way to word the headline:

"We are building a fighting force of extraordinary magnitude. We forge our spirits in the same tradition as our ancestors. Putin is a magnificent leader. He has our gratitude. Let's all give Putin a great big hand!"

/really, it shouldn't be that obscure

While I suspect Bush to be right on North Korea,refusing diplomatic relations with a nation and saying the president "has a good heart" are two entirely different things. Bush was treating Putin like a best friend and best ally when he's creating a dictatorship. That's a far cry from simply having diplomatic relations.

well things would be a lot easier if we had a dictatorship

ha-HA

snap!
