The One That Got Away

Gee, wasn’t it just a few months ago when the preznit and his family met with our ol’ buddy Vlad Putin in Kennebunkport discussing the missile defense shield while fishing for a 20-foot striped bass (here)?

Well, it sounds like Putin is now telling us to back off about attacking Iran and trying to get “a piece of the action” from Caspian Sea oil projects (discussing these issues while meeting with figurehead leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad - Putin is right about attacking Iran, though).

And as far as this so-called “missile defense shield” is concerned, that will never be anything but a pipe dream continually pursued by any Repug president (and God willing, we won’t see any more for a good while after this one – remember Ronnie Baby and SDI here?).

Given this turn in our relationship with the soon-to-be Russian prime minister (and is it completely off the hypocrisy scale for Bushco and Our Gal Condi Rice to lecture Vlad on human rights, given that we’re responsible for this?), I wonder if Dubya “still has a sense of (Vlad’s) soul” as he stated last summer?
