Putin Courting Saudi Arabia With Atomic Energy

    I see that Russian President Vladimir Putin has volunteered to help Saudi Arabia to develop atomic energy.

    Putin is on a mission to create ties, both militarily and energy wise, with countries that have generally been U.S. allies and this can only get worse. Though it may not be said in public, I am sure that many of our allies have come to despise the U.S. because of the currant Cheney regime in the White house and his morally wrong policies towards other countries and everyone in general.

Russia is also building a nuclear reactor in Iran amid an international standoff with the West, which suspects that the Islamic republic is seeking nuclear weapons. Iran denies this charge.

"Russia is determined to enhance cooperation with the Islamic world," Putin told a forum of Saudi and Russian businessmen on his first visit to Riyadh.

Saudi Arabia, a staunch Cold War ally of Washington, rolled out the red carpet for Putin, whose country's oil output is exceeded only by the Islamic kingdom's.

King Abdullah on Sunday hailed him as "a statesman, a man of peace, a man of justice".

   At this rate, With Russia chasing after our closest (?) allies, Saudi Arabia and the other Arab states will eventually be protected by the Russian military instead of the United States forces. then watch our oil and gas prices go way up!

Democrats To Vote On House Resolution

    You know by now that the U.S. House Democrats came up with a resolution opposing Bush's plan to send more troops to Iraq.

   The House is expected to vote on the resolution and it is expected to pass. however, once again it should be noticed that this will be just another non-binding note to Bush which will more than likely be tossed into the waste basket.

However Democrats say the resolution might prompt the president to revise his plans. The short, two-sentence statement also offers strong support for the troops themselves.

"Congress and the American people will continue to support and protect the members of the United States Armed Forces who are serving or who have served bravely and honorably in Iraq," the resolution says.

"Congress disapproves of the decision of President George W. Bush announced on January 10, 2007, to deploy more than 20,000 additional United States combat troops to Iraq."

        George Bush revise his plans? There is no way that Cheney and the others who are really running this country are going to let that happen. To much money to lose by stopping now!

    I'll bet you that Bush dreads even getting out of bed in the morning for fear of what Cheney and the rest have planned for the days events!
