#1 Democrats blaming Bushitler for unleashing this evil "pre-emptive strategy" in 5...4...3...

#2 Granted, the Russian need to take down some neglected bad boyz on their turf, by why won't someone, anyone, think of the mullaz?
Seriously, until the world gets a pandemic infection of radical mullahpox(*), that wipes hundreds of these instigators out, they'll just keep inspiring an endless stream of lackwits to go out and get killed for them.
(*) symptoms include feeling fine until an outbreak of large, red splotches rapidly appear on the head and torso, followed by shortness of death.

I understand that you have to deal with terrorism, and Putin certainly has to do SOMETHING. But you can't bomb terrorists. You have to take them out one by one using intelligence, spies, special ops, etc.

I heard it compared to the broom in "The Sourcerer's Apprentice". Take an axe to the broom and it splinters into many more, them more and more until the problem is insurmountable.

#5 Let the LLL rant and rave about the "unilateral" actions. Until nations finally get together, share intel, and plan snd execute joint actions, 'unilateral' will be what has to be done to get the job done.
The Mullahs need a pop. They are instigating the hatred. But we NEED to go after the financers that make the madrassas and mullah hate factories happen, and that leads back to Saudi. It all leads back to either Saudi or Iran. There is simply too much oil money getting into the hands of psychopaths.

#8 There may be another angle to this. RFE/RL posted yesterday (no permalink, sorry) a rumor of a pending Russian black ops strike against Islamists in Kabardino-Balkaria (the autonomous republic to the west of North Ossetia). Admittedly, the "source" they cited was kavkazcenter.com (pro-Chechen, pro-jihad) who, in their turn, were quoting an unnamed source within a Kabardin opposition group. However, there's been a lot of chatter about K-B in the last few days (some of which I've posted here). To recap, some of the Beslan terrorists were Kabardins, and the attack may have been funded/organized from Nalchik, the Kabardin capital. Such an operation by Putin would be "in the region" but also, strictly speaking, a domestic operation. Like Chechnya.

Yeah, I know. As Detectives Riggs and Murtaugh would say, "Pretty f**kin' thin." I'm just tossing it out there.

#9 Yes, trailing wife, and Paul Dukas would be spinning in his grave...

However, it would appeal to a wider audience...

#10 Caucasus Nerd---All these nefarious connections are starting to sound like the names of hostile civilizations on a Star Trek episode.

#11 What action post-Beslan would be considered pre-emptive?

#12 AP, I think the Islamists get many of their plotlines and all of their "brigade" names from comic books and sci-fi movies.
