Spin cycle? >>Moscow: U.S. 'blitzkrieg' has failed - Russia wants U.N. to 'act as a unifying body' in war on terror Just as the U.S. began to use ground troops in its war against terror in Central Asia, Moscow declared that "the blitzkrieg against Afghanistan has failed." The assumed failure, according to Russia, has caused "high-ranking politicians [in the U.S.] to feel hesitant" about the "further prospects" of military operations in Afghanistan. Moscow is also declaring that "the United Nations must act as a unifying body in the anti-terror crusade" for a global effort to succeed, and warns against "an even more threatening dimension" if the war against terror expands to include other nations. The remarks were made over the Voice of Russia World Service, the official broadcasting service of the Russian government. Despite the alleged failure of the American military operation, "the Pentagon generals," Moscow asserts, now "demand that military action be extended beyond Afghanistan." According to Moscow, U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld has "demanded that the chiefs of staff should draw up plans for attacks on other countries." Describing the U.S. as "drawing itself into a corner," Russia declared that "Washington is now aware of the need of a political settlement" and urged negotiations.<< More at - worldnetdaily.com My guess - US planning on attacking Iraq, Palestine putting the squeeze on Israel and Pakinstan fundamentalists putting the squeeze on Pakistan at the same time in order to make it very, very hard for us to go after Iraq.
