Putin, again

CNN, this afternoon, is reporting that Russian President Putin is calling for the United States to set a deadline for withdrawal from Iraq.

This is probably a good idea. However, the US should be calling for Russia to withdraw its scientists, equipment, nuclear materials and weapons from Iran. In addition, the US should be calling for Russia to not complete their $1 billion sale of weapons to Iran.

Russian relations and activities with Iran are a threat to the entire world, especially Israel and the United States. Mr. Putin should be looking in his own back yard before criticizing our policies pertaining to Iraq. This may be more rhetoric from Putin in response to Bush's comments yesterday about world war, but it's time for the two Presidents to sit down and talk to each other directly instead of making public comments that can be construed numerous ways. Rhetoric solves nothing and certainly doesn't bring people with opposing opinions or views together.

Both need our prayers!
