Putin Reminds Bush of Terrorism


PUSHKIN, Russia (AP) - Russian President Vladimir Putin told President Bush on Friday the United
States should not wage war alone against Iraq, and he put Bush on the spot by questioning whether
White House allies like Pakistan and Saudi Arabia are doing enough to fight terrorism.

"Where has Osama bin Laden taken refuge?" the Russian said in a joint news conference with Bush
at an 18th century czarist castle.
According to the New York Times, Bush* avoided answering Putin through the clever maneuver of...saying that he has a plane to catch (guess Air Force One was otherwise engaged).
