Putin Orders Russian Hostage Murderers "Destroyed"

Vladimire Putin has reportedly ordered Russian special forces to hunt down and kill the al Qaeda terrorists who murdered four hostages on a gruesome beheading video. Finallly, the interests of Russia and the U.S. coincide in Iraq.

Russian Profile

President Vladimir Putin ordered the security services Wednesday to seek and destroy the killers of four Russian hostages in Iraq.
The tough remarks indicate the Kremlin is no longer shy about carrying out extrajudicial executions of suspected terrorists and radicals abroad. They also suggest Russia's security services are reclaiming the KGB's global reach in covert operations.
"The president ordered the special forces to take all necessary measures to find and destroy the criminals who killed Russian diplomats in Iraq," the Kremlin press service said.
Putin, speaking during a Kremlin meeting with Saudi Prince Salman bin Abdul-Aziz Al Saud, also said Russia would be "grateful to all its friends for any information on the criminals who killed our citizens in Iraq," the Kremlin press service said.

When will Russia finally realize that the U.S. is a natural ally? After all, it is Russia, and not the U.S., with Islamists already in open rebellion. And it is Russia, not the U.S., which shares borders with Muslims who consider large portions of that nation to be stolen land-- from Kazan to the Urals it was once part of the ummah. And it is Russia, not the U.S., that have Muslim neighbors enslaving Russian minorities to sharia law.

I have a vivid memory of the day a Russian friend was forced to leave the U.S. to go back to Tajikistan. 19, not Muslim, and forced to put on the veil for fear of rape---or worse.

1 Indeed America have more in common than not. Russia's only conflict of National Interest is the obsession Russia has with hegemony in it regional territory.

However time will tell that Islamofascism and China will be greater threats to Russian regional hegemony than America could have been viewed.

4 Regarding those Russians who were beheaded. The guilty group was the Mujahedeen Council, led by a former Saddam aide.

Speaking of Saddam aides, over thirty have been caught working with al Qaeda now with the recent intelligence regarding Haitham al-Badri, I have more details here http://markeichenlaub.blogspot.com/2006/06/haitham-al-badri.html

5 The significant issue with the Russians regarding America and the fight against terrorism is that we have been somewhat contradictory in our message to them. We feel we have the right to fight these bastards, but we have been extremely critical of the Russians in fighting the islamofascists in Chechnya. I think we need to offer some form of assistance to their fight before we could count them as our allies in the larger battle.

6 Actually, the U.S. and Russia don't see eye to eye on this particular issue and they never have.

This could also present a problem for U.S. forces.
The U.S. IS NOT going to be happy about having Russian Special Forces operating in Iraq.

This could create confusion and could actually lead to a misunderstanding...and an international incident...if the two forces were to clash for some reason (Which would not be out of the question).

I'm sure Russians have been in & around Iraq for quite some time, since the war began. But their numbers will likely grow much larger...creating a problem.
Hopefully the two countries (The U.S. & Russia) can come up with a way to communicate, and an arrangement to operate/co-exist together.
