Oh good. Dick Cheney single handedly starts a new Cold War
Russian Media Warn of New Cold War
- By VLADIMIR ISACHENKOV, Associated Press Writer
Friday, May 5, 2006

(05-05) 07:49 PDT MOSCOW, Russia (AP) --

A Russian newspaper said Friday that Vice President Dick Cheney's harsh criticism of Moscow's human rights record signaled the start of a new Cold War.

The Kommersant business daily compared Cheney's speech Thursday in neighboring Lithuania to Winston Churchill's famous "Iron Curtain" speech in Fulton, Mo., saying in that it "marked the beginning of a second Cold War."

2. he can't help himself. His rude gene is deeply embedded - just like
the MSM is in the shrub's ass.

Seriously, I do not think he can stop from acting like that. Remember the warnings from some ex-Nixon aides who thought he was a snake. And Rummie was his clone.

is also dealing with Russia and China, as we have with Iraq and soon to be - Iran. In other words, get rid of 'em.

Dick is merely planting the seed. No pun intended.

6. What gets me about Cheney with the Russians is that he finally
bullied people who deserved it. Not that Saddam didn't, but hell, Saddam was gone in week one of the war on Iraq.

After bullying europe, and everywhere else where there are in fact great democracies.. cheney finally turned the dogs on some people who are not so great.

A little old at this point. Would be better if the dogs had not been set on places like the UN, Canada, France, Germany, Kenya & Brazil. All being attacked for having national dreams or at least legislation that made it look so. And bullied to force them to opt out of things like "the international criminal court".


Please.. call me when there is some news. This is old. And means very little at this point. Sure Russia has some work to do. (unlike all the others who were busy working on a better world). But you used your bully pulpit up.
