IHT: Avoid quagmire, Putin tells U.S.

IHT: Avoid quagmire, Putin tells U.S.: "

< < Back to Start of Article MOSCOW President Vladimir Putin said this weekend that the United States faced the possibility of a prolonged, bloody and ultimately futile war in Iraq like the one that mired the Soviet Union in Afghanistan.
.
In an expansive interview on Saturday evening, Putin warned that Iraq could 'become a new center, a new magnet for all destructive elements.' He added, without naming them, that 'a great number of members of different terrorist organizations' have been drawn into the country since the fall of Saddam Hussein."

uh oh, it looks like Russia is moving toward the dark side again...
