Pravda.ru is a dirty rag. I am interested to know the Russian reaction, but certainly not from this source.

zonder. You said...." Russian View of Powell's Evidence. Powell’s Fairy Tales: Puerile and Patronising "..... Ah, not necessarily so zonder. I may be wrong but I thought you had complained about people posting biased articles by biased authors? Anyway here is a bit more by the same author of the biased article you posted. When you say..." Russian View of Powell's Evidence " are these your words? As they do not appear in the article you posted. Are these words by you intended to mislead and are not necessarily the view of the Russian people? If so then you speak with forked tongue. ISRAELI DEFENCE FORCE MURDERS PALESTINIAN CHILDREN Timothy BANCROFT-HINCHEY PRAVDA.Ru english.pravda.ru GIL EYAL: LETTER TO TIMOTHY BANCROFT-HINCHEY ON HIS ARTICLE Mr. Bancroft, I don't understand what gives you the right to speak for all of PRAVDA.Ru. That you see only one side is lovely, but putting it in an articles speaking as if you are speaking for all of PRAVDA.Ru? I write for PRAVDA.Ru as well, and personally, I think you are a populistic idiot who only sees one side. Why must I be associated with your words? Who are you to give advice to the IDF? "Sources"? your only sources could be Palestinian people who obviously have an interest in giving you misleading information. Are you a military expert? Do you have any experience fighting terrorism? Where do you come off writing such an article? I'm holding myself from writing what I really think about you, but I'm sure you know. I am civilized and have some respect and dignity. I try not to make up facts, and I try to see the whole picture. That is why I understand that there will always be people like you who sit from afar and think they know everything. Gil Eyal Israel PRAVDA.Ru english.pravda.ru CARLOS MONTES: COLUMNISTS - HA! This is the first time I've read Pravda.ru and it was very interesting until I reached your "columnists" page. Then I see David Duke and Pat Buchanan as your columnists. These two "columnists" are considered by mainstream media and the general public in the United States as two of the greatest right-wing demagogues since Hitler and Mussolini. I have listened and read both of these "gentlemen" and they remind me of Hitler addressing the German public: hollow messages of hatred with no facts. I have no idea if these two clowns are regular columnists for your magazine. If they are, shame on you, specially since over 20 million of your countrymen died at the hands of demagogues like these. I thought that Pravda meant truth. Carlos Montes Troy, NY english.pravda.ru

Too funny. Might as well quote the National Enquirer as Pravda--both have about the same level of influence and credibility.

Ah... those Russkies.. Trying to wiggle their way out of this so they don't have to face the fact that Saddam is trying to hide his weapons: The Iraqi message could have involved anything from out-of-date shells, and we do not know whether the subject of this conversation was the cache of obsolete arms that the inspectors found lying under three years of bird excrement, to banned components. It does not automatically mean that weapons of mass destruction are involved as Colin Powell so simplistically and childishly tried to state. Hello?? Why do they need to evacuate anything?? If they have some "out-of-date" shells, they should be willing to have them inspected and destroyed. As it stands, now there is NO RECORD that these shells ever existed. A CLEAR VIOLATION of resolution 1441. Hey.. if they find some that were not previously discovered, I would feel a heck of lot better than having them sneak around trying to avoid having them found and destroying them secretly. And they ignore mentioning the 2,000 pages of documents pulled out the house of an Iraqi nuclear scientist.. Documents which SHOULD HAVE BEEN PREVIOUSLY DISCLOSED to the inspectors. So how many more documents and/or actual weaponry/technology actually has been hidden in someone's residence? Are we going to see the inspectors engage in a house to house cordon and search operation?? I loved how the french ambassador said.. "double.. triple the inspectors!!" More people... inspect everything.. Anything to avoid war... Easy for him to say when France doesn't have over 100,000 troops standing by providing the "stick" that will pummel Saddam when he refuses the "carrot"... Hawk
