Might as well get Farrell's slant on this stuff, even though I think he is too pusillanimous to speak completely clearly about it. Sorry. Truly. I love so much about the way he thinks, but I find him consistently chicken-ish on the matter of current events... and intellectual rigor just does not cover it.

Oh, he's just too busy trying to keep his subscribers happy or something. He's just not even thinking anymore. The Russians were not trying to back peddle this in any way, not at all. Why on earth would they be scared about the terrorists that plague them suddenly starting to plague us? There's been bad blood about this bullshit for more than a decade. The Russians insist they are terrorists and we insist they are freedom fighters. We have been insulting the living snot out of them since early Dubya on that score if not before. If anything they'd be tickled for this to be true. I can't believe Joseph and GeorgeAnn said that! I watch RT. They did no such thing. And even if somehow it could be perceived that they did, Farrell ignoring the tensions over the Chechen Rebels bullshit? What?

Crikey, Joseph, back off the Dr. Pepper.
