| Chechen hard boyz split over Beslan |
| 2004-09-12 |
| The deadly Chechen militant attack on a school in southern Russia has produced a split in the rebel cause, Russian officials claimed on Saturday. In what was an apparent attempt to exploit the division, Russia announced earlier this week that it would pay $10 million for information leading to the arrest of the top Chechen rebel leaders, Shamil Basayev and Aslan Maskhadov. Federal Security Service Maj.-Gen. Ilya Shabalkin underlined on Saturday that rebels were eligible for the reward. |

| #3 I hope that the bloodthirsty Arab financeers get their just desserts, too, from the Russians. When it hits home, this stuff will stop. Until then, the world's petrodollars will keep financing our own destruction. We must dry up the financing, esp for the madrassas. We cannot afford another generation of nutcases. |

| #2 "This act has caused greater damage (to the Chechen separatist cause) than 10 years of the darkest anti-Chechen propaganda," Zakayev was quoted as saying. No kidding, Zacky baby. Get a clue, you're toast. Over just a few days time, people acting under your banner cashed in every cent of sympathy the world will ever feel for Chechnya. The well has officially run dry. Aside from your bloodthirsty Arab financiers, nobody's really going to want any part of your murderous cause. Here's another big clue; Continued alliance with your Arabic terrorist buddies is just going to cripple any further perception of your little band of thugs. This might be a good time to hand over all your weapons and begin negotiations in earnest for Chechnya to become a semi-autonomous region. It would be safe to say that seccession just isn't on the table, now or ever. Otherwise, methinks you're beloved territory stands a good chance of becoming a vast parking lot. |
