I don't get it - makes no sense. The Russians were creating the impression they were only po'd by Bush's one sided action, remember how different they were in 2001 (actually stepped back and let the coalition start the afghan war). So at least I would expect they should try a new start, but maybe they are already too firmly set on that fateful crash course with NATO.
Hopefully it's just a maneuvre, to get Obama to the negotiation table quickly, but I must say I don't like Russian politics atm.
