This timely new fear factor is pretty serendipitous for the warrior class. This helps both Putin and Bush, plus puts security threats back on center stage. Could be coincidental. Could be.

Bush is intentionally baiting a known paranoid dictator.
At this point, when Bush's power is ending, Bush may be falling back on his Fundamentalist Christianity (who openly pray to God for the end of the world) and might ACTUALLY be trying to start World War III so he can remain past 2 terms "in a time of National Security threat" from the new expanded executive powers that he wrote in.
Are we going to sit back and wait while he really does it?

Seems like it. I mean my perception of Russia is that it is feeling hemmed in. We opening bases in Central Asia, admitting their former provinces into NATO (Latvia and Estonia)raising hell on one of its client states, Iran, pulled out of the ABM treaty and now Putin's pi$$ed about the missle defense shield. Maybe Putin feels that we're rubbing the fact that we won the cold war in his face and he's just trying to show that the Russian Bear is alive and kicking
