Does this sound like a good idea to you?

the Agonist, via Digby at Hullabaloo

Moscow and Washington are quietly negotiating a request by the Bush administration to send Russian troops to Iraq or Afghanistan this fall, Russian government sources tell Stratfor. The talks are intense, our contacts close to the U.S. State Department say, and the timing is not insignificant. A Russian troop lift to either country before the U.S. presidential election would give U.S. President George W. Bush a powerful boost in the campaign.

Russia, as Stratfor reports, has agreed 'in principle':

Sources close to Russia's Security Council tell Stratfor that Russian President Vladimir Putin has agreed to the request "in principle" and has directed the Russian General Staff to work up a plan by the end of the month.

Digby says it best: "The U.S. inviting the Russians into Afghanistan to help us fight the Mujahadeen is so incredibly ironic I can't even go there. A KGB agent rescuing the neocons is simply hysterical. "

Irony is lost on these clowns...seriously. I'm sure the Afghan people will just looooove to see Russian troops again. Plus Russia was only popular with Saddam (for weapons, grain, etc.) but probably not so much with the Arab population, especially after Afghanistan.

Do these people even think about what they are doing or do they just make it up as they go?

Powell must have given himself at least a dozen concussions from banging his head against the wall.

It's like they're playing chess strictly by maximizing their current position without looking ahead those three moves.
