Putin a Patzer?

Putin is increasingly likely to find himself with egg on his face when Iranian rockets and possibly nuclear strikes destroy its enemies, Israel being the first in line. It won't take long until the World will ask where the lunatic Mullahs got the weapons from and why so much earlier than expected. Ever since Thug-In-Chief Ahmadinejad revealed his apocalyptic visions, Putin has been watching helplessly how the West is catching up with his past shady dealings with Iran, all well hidden under the table. And as we learn from the absolute must read "The Origins of Terror" by the brilliant John Radzilowski, Iran is literally just the tip of the iceberg in Russia's and the former Soviet Union's longstanding and systematic support and training of virtually all of today's terrorist organizations....All Things Beautiful, 4/5/2006
