Really remarkable. He'll lie one moment about Iraqi WMD and then admit Iraq has nothing to do with Al Qaeda. The real eye-opener for me was that American troops are kept in Germany to prevent the EU from closing its markets and locking America out of sales to Europe. SInce the US loses money trading with Europe, it's for the profit of a few industries.

"If you make the case for Russia in NATO, then there would be no reason for NATO. "

Gosh, this is just refreshingly direct. And if there was no Russia, who's going to buy all those gold-plated American weapons systems?

Q -- In what way has President Bush moved toward a new global security system?

A -- The Warsaw speech when he said Russia is no longer our enemy, that NATO wants to cooperate with them, and he didn't discount future NATO membership for Russia.

Can't lose our enemy! You can see them today searching for a new enemy and a new war after Afghanistan.

"Out of an understandable motivation to try to improve relations with Russia and make them an ally instead of an enemy in the struggle against terrorism, because they are indeed threatened by Muslim fundamentalism in a geopolitical sense, we should never endorse a violation of Western values, such as the indiscriminate use of military power against innocent civilians."

You mean like the US has done as a matter of policy?

"How can we expect China to live up to its commitments when we don't live up to ours?"

Indeed.
