Russia Criticizes Israel for Offensive

How can anyone take Putin's comment seriously? It's so hypocritical that it's comedic. Here is an ex-KGB agent who was trained to make oppression and brutality his modus operandi. Who could forget the botched raids of the Moscow playhouse and the Beslan school and the persistent fighting against the (Islamic) Chechen rebels? He's putting his vote with most of the Arab and leftist European nations while at the same time committing even worse acts of the type he's condemning Israel in his very own backyard. This is equivalent to President Vincente Fox telling the US to stop the human rights abuses against its illegal aliens.
