What Makes Chechen Women So Dangerous?

April 01, 2010 "New York Times"

Ignore the worthless article cited above – the obvious answer, “the CIA,” can’t be given in the Agency’s paper of record – and instead take a look at the excellent reader comments, three of which I reproduce extracts from below, contributed by “hayate.” It is difficult to imagine a better illustration of why the US kleptocrats so loathe the internet; and why the CIA et al devoted so much time and narco-money to establishing controlled “liberal” entities like the Daily Kos and Huffington Post.

Pushing Russia comprehensively out of the Caucasus, and humiliating her, requires victory for the Chechens. An independent Chechnya may also be the prelude to the longer-term break-up of Russia herself: the CIA predicted that oil-rich Siberia might escape Moscow's control in its report, Global Trends 2015, published in April.

One of the articles, perhaps inadvertently, spilt the beans. The Chechen leader Ahmed Zakayev wrote in The Wall Street Journal on 29th September 2004 that

"The West has a clear choice. It can continue to support the KGB dictatorship of Mr. Putin, which sooner or later will turn against the West and side with its enemies through its strategic goal of undermining the "unipolar" world order and keeping oil prices high. Or it can change course and insist on resolving the Chechen conflict through negotiated settlement." (my italics).

In other words, the "negotiated settlement" in Chechnya, which the US Secretary of Defence, Colin Powell, has instructed the Russian government to seek, is the way to prevent Russia from ever counter-balancing the United States in world affairs, and to get the oil price down.

(new york times, wall street journal, both plugging for Chechen terrorists. see a pattern? Let's all continue the mantra now: Iraq has wmds, Iran is a nuke threat, terrorism in Russia is the work of "freedom fighters" trying to gain independence.)

The fax-back service for pre-written newspaper articles must have been working overtime these last few weeks at Langley, Virginia. A flood of articles has appeared in the press attacking the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, especially in the wake of the Beslan massacre. They all have the same structure. Whenever you read the words, "Nothing can excuse the murder of children," you know that a big "But" is looming. Such articles invariably go on to explain why the murder of children is indeed understandable, and the reason usually given is Russian authoritarianism, against which the Chechen rebellion is natural and legitimate.
