Kind of weird, still, to hear a Russian Foreign Minister referring to the Marshall Plan---anyone else old enough to get the irony in that?
Then again, whoever thought they'd see the day when the President of Russia, an ex-KGB man, would field questions from American high school kids at a news conference held at the ranch of a US President?
Carl---do you really think the Russians would ever agree to submit their troops to US command? Unless a country is willing to do that, we don't want, let alone need, their help.
Bottom line---Russia is going to get a piece of the pie in Iraq. Bush has treated them with kid gloves in his public statements lately, deflecting all the criticism to the French.
