(in high falsetto voice) "Oh, Skybird you have already said everything that could be said about this problem" Kiss, kiss
I'm sorry I just couldn't resist it CCIP ... Please forgive me, but come on your an intelligent sort of guy you can come up with something ... :p
My second guess about Putin getting all worked up about the USA is that he is trying to drag Germany and the
EU in agreement to align themselves against us.
Russia's well known investment in Iran is the real reason as our warships steam torward the Persian Gulf.
Just like France stood to lose billions of dollars if we attacked Iraq and they let everyone know they
were against that confrontation.
Putin is a chess player and after thinking about why Putin would say,
"Bush is a nice man to do business with",
I realized he was talking third person to President Bush, saying hey Mr President
were not too happy about your intentions, "Lets make a deal"
Putin has the US Congress on his side ... No one in the majority wants to start a war with Iran, right?
They don't even want us to finish the preventive maintence war we are in right now.
Mr. Bush can't convince the Congress to fund a war ...
all that leaves is for Iran to make the first move and the US Navy to finish it ...
the whistle on tea pot is going to start blowing and
somebody better get out of the way.
This many ships in and around the Persian Gulf means someone has
already thought out a battle plan ...
Now see why Putin is tooten?
