Bush: Russia Better Ally Than Democrats

(2007-06-05) — President George Bush, on his way to the G-8 summit in Heiligendamm, Germany, attempted to reduce tensions with his Russian counterpart over a U.S.-planned Europe-based missile shield by telling reporters, “Russia’s not our enemy. Come to think of it, it’s a better ally than the Democrats right now.”

The president said the real enemies are “radical regimes armed with missiles, and those who would have us appease them through negotiation and concession.”

Mr. Bush said he continues to have a warm relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“Right now, I’d rather be in Germany with Vladimir than in D.C. with Nancy and Harry,” he said, “If you know what I mean.”" --- as reported by satirist Scott Ott / ScrappleFace

Lets hope that Putin and Bush can reach an understanding and regain some trust over the missile defense system. It would seem to make sense to make some real effort to work together with the Russians on the global war and not exacerbate the situation when we may need their assistance applying pressure on Iran. He will never be able to reach an understanding with Pelosi and Reid that's for certain.
