There he goes again. Another flip-flop!

WASHINGTON (AP) - When he first ran for president, George W. Bush talked tough on Russia. He threatened to cut off international aid if Moscow continued "killing women and children, leaving orphans and refugees" in its war in Chechnya.

This year, as president, Bush casts Russia not as an oppressor, but as a victim of terror - even as fighting continues in Chechnya and President Vladimir Putin moves to consolidate power in ways seen as threatening the country's fledgling democracy.

It's a shift that reflects the common cause Bush and Putin found in fighting terrorism after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks and the personal relationship they had developed even before then.

It's also a change that fits neatly into Bush's re-election campaign.
