DUSHANBE, Tajikistan (Reuters) - Russian President Vladimir Putin (news - web sites), siding with President Bush (news - web sites) two weeks before the U.S. election, said Monday that armed attacks in Iraq (news - web sites) were staged by "international terrorism" out to block his re-election.
"The attacks of international terrorism in Iraq are directed not only at international coalition forces but at President Bush personally," said Putin, speaking in the Tajik capital.
"International terrorism has given itself the goal of causing maximum damage to Bush in the election battle, the goal of blocking the re-election of Bush for a second presidential term," he told a news conference.

What has not been reported----
After these 18 personell declined there were others from 343rd that did complete the mission--I have to assume that all went well on this "suicide mission" or the press would have been certain to climb all over it.

Supporting news from Aljeezera for terrorist this weekend encouraging them that their propaganda and tactics are working as they showed liberal demonstrations in U.S. and UK calling for immediate troop withdrawel in Iraq. Considering the terrorist tactics worked in Spain prior to elections It would seem probable if they still have the means to do so they would attempt it here as a means to shore up the liberal support as in Spain.

China and N Korea resume talks but expect little till after elections as many presume (as I have all along and staed so)NK is hoping for Kerry victory---
Kim is the head of North Korea (news - web sites)'s legislature and nominally the country's second most powerful man, although the entire political system is built around the personal authority of supreme leader Kim Jong-Il.
He is accompanied by Vice Foreign Minister Kim Yong-Il, who previously headed the North Korean delegation at six-country talks on the nuclear issue in Beijing, Pyongyang's Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said.
China is apparently stepping up efforts to salvage the talks. It sent a senior official to Pyongyang last month, which bore little fruit.
After three rounds of inconclusive negotiations, North Korea failed to turn up for a fourth round of multilateral talks scheduled for Beijing last month.
North Korea has boycotted the talks to protest South Korea (news - web sites)'s controversial nuclear experiments and Washington's "hostile policy" towards it.
Some observers believe the secretive regime is waiting for the outcome of next month's US presidential election before returning to negotiations.
China's special envoy for North Korean affairs, Ning Fukui, met last week with US Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage and other senior US diplomats in Washington and found little reason for optimism.
The US State Department said subsequently that "as far as we know, the situation remains stalled, with North Korea not prepared to live up to its commitments to come back to talks".
