Russian source: Moscow threatens to use veto in favor of Syria
2005-11-20
Russian diplomatic sources have affirmed that the Russian National Security Council Secretary General Igor Ivanov has, during his short visit to Syria, conveyed a message from President Vladimir Putin to his Syrian counterparts President Bashar Al-Assad. "The said message is not enlisted within the frame work of pressures "as regards the 1636 resolution but to voice solidarity with Syria and to assure it that Moscow will reject any attempt by the Security Council to pass on any military action against Syria. Sources added that President Putin advised the Syrian leadership to fully cooperate with the International Investigation Committee in order to pull out any pretext from the USA.

Sources pointed out that Russia advised Damascus not to reveal the honesty of the investigation committee because this will mean that Syria will not cooperate with Mehlis. In reply to a question on the Russian stance over a fresh decision to impose sanctions against Syria, reliable Russian diplomats sources said that Moscow will absolutely refuse any sanctions against Syria or even surrounding it. "Imposing sanctions against Syria will lead to complicate matters in the Middle East, and will lead to an all chaos that will threaten peace and security world wide in a time that the region is on explosive barrel as a result of the continuous clashes in Iraq.

#5  Remember, the Clinton-led Dems > FASCISTS = DE-REGULATED, PRO-COMPETITION/CORPORATISM COMMUNISTS-STALINISTS-MARXISTS, i.e. "Commpitalists" as was mentioned a few times in PRAVDA, RINO's and CINO's. When Mama Cindy calls for anarchy and violence to take back "occupied" NOLA, she in reality is PC calling for an INTRA-COMMUNIST/SOCIALIST Stalin-era "PURGE" and extermination of Clintonian National Communism's alleged "Fascist"
fraction/minority, ala MENSHEVIKS vs BOLSHEVIKS vs YENSHEVIKS/YESHEVIKS, etc. For the DemoLefties, the WOT is about NATION(S) AND KIND OF SOCIALISM WILL CONTROL THE FUTURE OWG AND SWO/CWO. THE WOT is a WAR FOR THE WORLD and WAR ABOUT, FOR, and IN THE NAME OF [GLOBAL]SOCIALISM.

#3  Bingo, Rory. Whenever people piss and moan about how corrupt modern Russia is, I explain to them how all that really happened was that they took off their uniforms.

#2  Didn't that entire anti-American Soviet kleptocracy collapse over a decade ago?

Not really. The party bosses just took off their hammer-and-sickle lapel pins, and the kleptocratic tendencies that grew out of the Soviet system got amplified to the point of absurdity. The collapse of the Soviet Union wasn't a revolution.

#1  Didn't that entire anti-American Soviet kleptocracy collapse over a decade ago? Why is it like nothing has changed? What is with this world's general inability to connect the dots regarding terrorism? RasPutin needs to be dropped off in Beslan for some parking lot therapy.
