    Yeah...The US is never this quick with 'aid' unless it's a cover for something.
    Hurricane Katrina took weeks, this...a few day's.

    And the Russian president is going on about never giving up and that the russians are ruthless, with talk like that, I bet he's getting the best goods, perhaps the wish list israel wanted from the US has been re directed to Georgia?

    what the hell, lmao!

    US established the puppet Saakashvili as president, trained Georgian fighters, tried to get Georgia in NATO.
    Georgia supplied the second most troops to Iraq (2000) behind Britain.

    Wiki NED and NATO to further your thought.
    Nice, so we should care about Georgia because it supplied us with troops in Bush's fabricated war with Iraq. Lets shovel more shit on the fire.

    maybe, maybe not, but those points only really prove that Georgia is our ally, which isn't a secret. the first point is debatable, but as for the other two: what are allies supposed to do? i would hope we train and arm all our allies if needed, and bringing them into NATO only validates the alliance.

    those arent good examples of proof is all i'm saying.

    i'm curious what some people here think an alliance between countries is.

    it doesnt matter whether Georgia's president is a madman or not. russia is a massive, powerful country. their actions have caused the death of hundreds of innocents. being the big powerful country they should set the example. they have the responsibility. they have acted irresponsibly, doing exactly what the georgian president wanted i'll wager. (he wanted to provoke them blatently).

    i'm with georgians on this one. i think the russian set up is disgusting.

    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    A fragile cease-fire appeared even more shaky as Russia's foreign minister declared that the world "can forget about any talk about Georgia's territorial integrity."

    Yep ... The Russians seem intent on annexing two chunks of Georgia, and also seem intent on using scorched earth tactics as they withdraw. Nice. If nothing else, though, the U.S. will be that much more inclined to up military aid to Georgia, the more material the Russians destroy. What a bunch of toads, though. Peacekeepers my ass.

    I am no military pathologist or anything, but it looks like those guys were killed by artilllery or rocket fire. Graphic stuff. I kind of wished I hadn't seen that ... If anything, it makes me even less inclined to sympathize with the Russians than I already was.

    That method helped them build their empire under the Czars...who knows it might work again. Czarist Russia expanded the same way that the American Empire did.

    appreciate the link, but a warning would be nice.

    The Georgian presidents a fucking idiot. There are many countries/autonomous states in the Caucasus that could have done with a little heads up that he was going to use force against South Ossetia. It's a politically fragile area, he really made it worse for all involved.

    I must agree with you. It would've been better if he wrote something more thought-provoking like "write a letter to someone who cares".

    I guess the created enemy of terrorists lurking around our corners waiting to stab us in our throats as we sleep didnt really last that long so now our government has to bring back the dusty old Russian bear to fear us into stupidity, etc (insert here).

    At least I can sleep better at night knowing that we captured tortured and convicted Bin Laden's driver, remember he was classified by Rummy as the worst of the worse evil doers, even though he didnt do anything but drive really bad men around. It makes me feel even better that not even Hitler's chauffeur was convicted of any trumped up charges.

    Just when I began to feel safe these silly Russians had to go attack a soveign nation just because said nation's leader attacked an industial city and leveling a hospital full of Russians.

    PEACE.
