Clearly it's all Putin's fault, since he's on vacation right now.

Did anyone associated with Hillary die on those planes?  I guess we'll have to wait and see.

How would the Russian govt react to a terrorist attack such as this? Would they go postal or show restraint and bang a shoe at the U.N.?

Gauging from Russias past, they use a heavy hand.....
It's not how it plays in Moscow but how it plays on Wall Street that matters.

Tabs and 350:
Seriously, I think Russia has too many bad memories of Afghanistan to want to re-enter the ME again.

The Chechnya/Russia mess would have been a good preview for us of what would happen if we invaded Iraq, but that might require reading and study.

afaik Russa has no patience for terrorist bs.. when they started the bs around Beruit a while age they killed a Russian.. Then they sent in a team to round up the perps. They tied them to their chairs, cut off their cocks, stuffed it into their mouths, took picks, and plastered the pics around town.. you never heard of another Russian killed.

yeah, they mow everyone down even with the grass.... remember the opera hostage situ? whatever (gassing?) method they chose, it took out just as many hostages as the perps, but it got the job done. you don't kick a bear in the nuts...

I guess Casper the friendly ghost triggered the hijacker alert on the 2nd plane.
Lets see 2 jets go down at the sametime, 1 triggers a hijacker alert. //Russian gov >> Nothing to see here, no conspiracy or terrorists, move along. |

They just found one of the Black Boxes. Should be interesting.
Edit: Make that both recorders....

Russians have been killed by the hundreds by Chechen rebels over the past 8-9 years. I'm sure some people find something emotionally gratifying in thinking about brutal treatment of terrorists, but in the real world, it doesn't make much difference. dead is dead, and -- especially for Islamic fundamentalists -- being killed by the enemy is a high honor.
