Russia to "Fight Terror Worldwide"

Vladimir Putin submitted to the Federation Council a draft ruling, which will authorize the president to use units of Armed Forces and divisions of Special Services to clamp down on international terrorism outside of Russia but in line with the RF laws, Putinâ€™s press service announced Tuesday.
The sanction of senators will enable the Special Services of the country to focus on Putinâ€™s order and eventually find terrorists, who abducted and murdered four Russian diplomats in Iraq.

Pravda adds:

Putin ordered special forces a week ago to hunt down and "destroy" the killers of four Russian Embassy staffers who were kidnapped and slain in Iraq, and the vote appeared aimed at giving such operations a legal stamp of approval.
"Such norms exist all over the world, and that fact that we will have it in a law is a positive thing," Duma legislative committee chairman Pavel Krasheninnikov said. He said it would help protect the participants in such actions.
On Tuesday, Putin had asked the Federation Council to authorize him to send armed forces or security agents abroad to fight terrorism. It was unclear, however, whether he was asking for blanket approval for any future operations, requesting permission for a specific operation without providing details, or seeking broaden his formal powers to include dispatching special forces in addition to armed forces, reports AP.

1 This is bigger than one would think. Russians have a way of getting things done by hook or crook.
Their advantage. Not so many liberal anti-american policy winners in their country.
Or in plain english. The Sheehan bitch would be in Siberia getting hosed by a thousand other prisoners. If they would stoop that low.

2 Does this 'pledge' involve no longer selling nuclear technology and weapons systems to terror sponsoring states and no longer being a pain in the ass in the UN Security Council?

3 I wonder if the Ruskies think Israel is a terrorist sponsor?

4 Why would the Ruskies think Israel is a terror sponsor?

5 Why would you care why they would think that?

Doesn't really matter why they would think that; it only matters if they do think that.

6 If those Russians get those sexy KGB female agents involved, I expect the war on terror will be over in months, not years.

Wow, I just love those Russian KGB female agents. Did I tell you guys how beautiful they are. Did you see From Russia with Love. No? Let me...

7 I don't really care IF they think that, I'm just wondering WHY they would think that.

8 Putin's gonna fight terror. Yeah, right. Just like he did something about the animals who murdered the children of Beslan. What he did was make a deal to sell Iran advanced weapons and technology in order to get them to call the dogs off. Russia is a sinking ship, and Putin is knocking holes in the hull.

9 They don't think that.

10 In that case, why DON'T they think that (considering that most of the world apparently thinks the Israelis are)?

11 Lost the link now but anyone see Putin kissing that boy's stomach? I suspect he is a pedophile.

12 Why don't we ( the coalition ) capture a few of these fuckin insurgents from different TAOR's, fuck up their memories so they don't remember where they've been, stick them with EBOLA and send them back to their little groups to spread the good news. We should start fighting real dirty now, FUCK the opinions of those oxygen thiefs who moan about human rights and all that bollocks. Steralize the fuckers who live in our home countries and keep them in ghettos modelled on the guantanamo base make the fuckers behead their parents yeah instead of testing animals we could use them for testing. THINK ABOUT IT!

13 Damn repman: Tell them about it. We can't do that. Why? Because we have liberals in this country who have decided the rights of the enemy (muslims) are more important that stopping future terrorism.
