You vant see my missile? I show you mine, if you show me yours ...
He said he had shown the working principles of the missile systems to French President Jacques Chirac during a visit to a Russian military facility.
President Vladimir Putin boasted Tuesday that Russia has missiles capable of penetrating any missile defense system, Russian news reports said.
"Russia ... has tested missile systems that no one in the world has," the ITAR-Tass, Interfax and RIA Novosti news agencies quoted him as saying at a news conference. "These missile systems don't represent a response to a missile defense system, but they are immune to that. They are hypersonic and capable of changing their flight path."
Of course, when it comes to terrorism linked to the Middle-east, Vlad's missile is ... well, a little soft.
On other topics at the news conference, Putin:
_ Urged the militant Palestinian group Hamas to engage in peaceful dialogue, and said Russia's position on the Middle East differed from that of the United States and Europe.
Hamas should "refrain from extremist declarations, acknowledge Israel's right to exist and put its contacts with the international community in order," Putin said. He said "Russia has never declared Hamas a terrorist organization, but it doesn't mean we support and accept everything Hamas has done and all the statements it has made."

Thank god we're not the only ones standing up to Iran. I hope they come to their senses. And I hope Hamas comes to theirs and lays down their weapons like the Irish IRA had to do.
