| #2 OS---I think that if he is not quietly reaching out, then we are quietly reaching out to him. The terrorists are coming home to roost. We are all in this together. The sooner Putin gets over all his hangups the faster we can work together on the task at hand. |

| #1 And there you have it. A dilemma for Putin. If he says the Chechens did this then 1) He will have to take decisive action - and his military is not up to the task. 2) He has to admit that they got thru and he was unable to stop them. If he stonewalls, then he looks bad for allowing maint and state airline being so poor as to kill several citizens - or if the Chechens did do it and he's hiding, then he looks really bad. Vlad is going to be looking for some cover - he needs it now, and cannot sit on the sidelines anymore. Want to bet that he at least considers reaching out? |
