WTF is this??

It probably was what managed to secure Biden - and the massive 1,800 votes he racked up in the primary - the VP nomination.

Putin is brain damaged.
Or he is really looking to further
Russia from anything Western.
And that is frightening.

i don't think russia has ever considered itself as anything other than Eastern. they really have an interesting history, and have always been a fairly closed society, hostile to foreigners. perhaps one day they'll outgrow it....but i doubt it.

Technology has made this almost impossible.
I guess its time to get creative and create problems
to hide internal failure. I find it disturbing.

No actually he is very sharp. He puts the conspiricy theory out there in his own attempt to manipulate the US election. He is basically saying that Bush wanted war because McCain appears to be more qualified than Obama in dealing with military matters. Putin most assuredly want Obama in as president simply because he would be far easier for them to manipulate and work around than a hawk would. The poultry ban is really the best story here. I am doubting that there even is a Russian poultry import inspector.
