Bush to Putin: 'The Cold War is over'

PRAGUE, Czech Republic — President Bush today accused Russia of backsliding on democratic reforms but promised President Vladmir Putin he has nothing to fear from a U.S. missile defense shield in Europe. "The Cold War is over," Bush insisted.

"Russia is not our enemy," Bush emphasized as relations between Washington and Moscow fell deeper into an icy chill with Putin's threat to retarget rockets at Europe.

In a swift turn of events, China joined Russia in criticizing the U.S. anti-missile system. Then, Bush faulted both Russia and China for their troubled records on democracy.

The accusations and finger pointing created a tense atmosphere for the annual summit of leaders of the world's most prosperous nations, beginning Wednesday in the Baltic Sea resort of Heiligendamm, Germany. Even before the missile shield dispute, the three-day meeting faced disagreements on issues ranging from global warming to aid for Africa.

In the evening, Bush arrived in Germany unhappy about news from home. Just after Air Force One lifted off from Prague, the president learned that former White House aide I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby was sentenced to 2 1/2 years in prison for lying and obstructing the investigation into the leak of a CIA operative's identity.

6. Should stay home

Someone has to take control over him. He shouldn't be out of the country giving speeches and trying to play with the big boys. He is much to unstable to be seen out of the Rose Garden.

9. "Hey, Angela, are we gonna have more o' that PIG this time?"

That's probably all he's looking forward to on this trip -- more of that German "pig" he so obssessed on last time he was there.

I really hope the adults in "old Europe" set him straight during this trip.

11. I wish the foreigners would just count to three and burst out laughing

in unison. Slap the table, double over in convulsions, wipe their eyes.

I mean, really, Mel Brooks figured out that the best way to get even with Hitler is to make him the brunt of everyone's laughter. Don't take the little shit seriously.

12. Bush knows he only has 18 months left to start Armageddon

It's the only "legacy" that really interests him.

[htuttle]

13. I think Putin just played him but good

He feints right as the Chimperor is about to land in Europe guessing that it would throw Little Boots off his stride, since he'd have to answer it. Then Bush reacts like a bull in a china shop as always and looks like a dangerous lunatic right before meeting the money guys in Europe. Putin's showing his judoka side again here I think...
