The day before his much-anticipated address to the UN General Assembly on Monday, CBS broadcast Charlie Rose's interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin for its season premiere of 60 Minutes. Understandably, the interview was cut and edited to fit in the 20-minute slot available in the program. But now that the full transcript has been made available on the Kremlin website, it's fascinating to see just what was cut. We're including the full transcript below, with comments identifying which parts were not included in the final broadcast, or as special online clips.

From single sentences to entire exchanges, some of the exclusions are noteworthy. For example, practically the whole of Putin's commentary on the Minsk agreements was not aired. Nor were Putin's pointed comments on Libya and Syria, his observation that the U.S.'s actions in those countries was a blatant violation of international law, and his suggestion that "somebody wants to use either certain units of ISIS or ISIS in general in order to overthrow al-Assad and only then think about how to get rid of ISIS." Other exchanges, such as Putin's views on sanctions and gay rights, were broadcast online, but not in the final program.
the actual conversation here...

not real sure how truthful sott.net is, since they seem to have a lot of opinions i disagree with, they are jew haters, but if this is real, Putin seems like a very down to earth guy with a lot of common sense...

Well, you are putin him up against Obama!

lol.. kinda an easy win...

Oh, I can't wait to read this.

When is the last time we had REAL news, anybody know? It had to be pre- JFK assassination... or was it ever?

i would have posted it here, but it just to big...

Not real sure, that I'd be willing to trust the Kremlin, any more than I'd be willing to trust the whitehouse.

Putin is a thug, but he has balls.

He sees Obama wandering aimlessly with his asinine domestic agenda and decided to act.

I think the rainbow colors got in Obamas eyes and he lost focus on WTF is going on around the world.

Well no big surprise CBS edits the interview to make Putin look like the bad guy. Obama is CBS's boy, he has to be protected.

Putin quite correctly says that Syria and a small militia are the only ones fighting ISIS because Obama is merely dabbling around the edges.

Kurds? They need weapons, in appreciable numbers, and of good quality. We don't arm them sufficiently AND now they are being given MRAP vehicles with no armor to protect the occupants against RPG's.

Bombings? The air force drops 8 bombs a day while the Syrian airforce conducts 10 times the sorties.

Drone strikes? Yeah, the occasional strike on higher value targets, but these guys have already voted on the next 4-5 layers of command structure should they be taken out.

Our vaunted 'rebel' force trained to take on the Assad regime? They cost half a billion dollars, generated a force of 5 guys, and all the weapons they were given, went to the enemy!

Sooooo, compared to THAT stunning record, I am surprised 60 Minutes could use anything that didn't make Putin look like Patton!

obarry is a joke, and putin knows it... obarry's agenda is remove assad, without looking like bush... when he gave all those weapons to the "rebels", ISIS quickly took them and started running amok with them, and then he tried to downplay his stupidity by saying "ISIS is the JV team" ...

seems that russia has told the US to not fly in syria now...

"Secretary of State John Kerry told Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov that the Russian air strikes are “not helpful,” and ran counter to the effort to make sure mishaps do not happen inadvertently in the air."

kerry is even a bigger joke than obarry... let russia take care of the problem, stupid liberals....

yes knew that would happen. I believe china is on their way with an air craft carrier. USA n Israel best heed that warning. Russia had no problems destroying keiv air force trying to bomb cilivians.

where in the hell did you get anything from Israel outa that?

Thin Air Agency!

i guess there's no topic that doesn't involve Israel... seems that this would benefit Israel, if anything...

seeing things!

Israel has been doing airstrikes along with turkey. do you guys keep up with what's going on???? USA Israel turkey have been doing airstrikes in Syria. USA is only doing this for Israel. USA has no business in Syria. hamas has asked Lebanon to stop helping Syria. of course since hamas works for Israel. as far as Putin yes very down to earth man. study him he is incredible. I'm sure Moscow has warned Israel no fly in Syria. go bomb I rag Isis.

i guess when someone is so scared of Jews, they see them everywhere... i'll tell the jews to leave the poor man alone, so he can sleep at night knowing they are not hiding in his closet...

OMG,direct Pipeline into the Kremlin,hmm? Fact is,Russia can't afford to lose another Client,after Iraq hung Saddam Insane!
