Timely Reminder
Russia, which claimed to be in negotiations with islamic terrorists who had kidnapped 4 of their diplomatic workers, is reeling in shock and horror at the murder and beheading of all four hostages. Coverage at Powerline, Gateway Pundit and Michelle Malkin. WARNING: Disturbing video at the links.
Why Russia (which didn't support the Iraqi War) figures that they can negotiate with people who want them dead is beyond us. Russia has it's own islamic problems in Chechnya and has been none too gentle in addressing them. Their support of Saddam and the Iranian nuclear efforts are even more mind boggling.
The old Chinese adage "May you live in interesting times" is certainly apt here.

It's not whose on first or second its whose manning third, Russia is playing density coy no one on third base, stolen HOME RUN!
Well it's interesting Russia didn't support the war because 80% of the Iraqi war machine was manufactured by the russians. The other 20% was by the french and us.
Know what they call a Russian tank in Iraq?
Scrap metal
Maybe business as usual. Not saying much but how can one really respond. Disgust with various conduct and dealing's across the spectrum. I'm often perplexed.
My just called me with information regarding the CPD Sgt. test.:
I.A.D. has been informed at 2100 hrs tonight that one of twelve boxes of CPD Sgt. tests sent via an overnight service has been "misplaced". If this lost parcel is not recovered the whole 2nd portion of the Sgt. test will become void and null. The last checkpoint this parcel was scanned was O'Hare Airport sorting.
If in fact the City has to void this test, I see some very pissed off coppers.
Maybe the parcel decided to get "lost" after all this news coverage on corruption. You think?
