Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Friday there were no prospects for a military solution to the crisis in Iraq and called for the issue to be solved within the United Nations.
"We stand for the fastest return of this issue to the framework of the United Nations," Mr Putin said after talks with German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder in St Petersburg.
The two were later scheduled to meet French President Jacques Chirac, who, like them, opposed the US-led war on Iraq.
"Russia and Germany are in favour of a political solution. There are no prospects for a military solution. Military action in Iraq has been continuing for four weeks. The results of this are well known. They give rise to regret," he added.
Oh that's right. Only the ones he allows to still operate because they say things that don't upset him and the ruling party.
