#1 Asked by a reporter to clarify, he said: "I do not exclude that a new administration in the United States will re-evaluate the current administration's decisions on missile defense."

He continued, "After all, Democrats danced to the Kremlin's tune when we were openly Communists, there's no reason they won't do it again when we're openly imperialist."

#6 Baluyevsky made his comments on the 39th anniversary of the Russian invasion of Czechoslovakia to crush the "Prague Spring," when Soviet tanks ended an attempt by the government of the day to promote liberal reforms.

This is what I call timing. That's like bin Laden using 9/11 to warn Uncle Sam to avoid trying to fight al Qaeda.
