makes no sense -- that's goofy terrorist/african dictator logic.

even when one is less than perfect they are allowed to voice their moral approval and disapproval.

if you think the us is so awful that it doesn't have a leg to stand on then you can join plenty of others who over the years traded us passports for russian ones.

so sick of that argument from terrorists and the worst offenders of decency around the world, countries and races alike. as you well know. i recognize your name from other postings, you know better.

saakashvili should have been more diplomatic but bottom line is Russian gov. will flax their muscle regardless. it's the innocent civilians who always suffer the most. Georgians haveservived many envasion in over 1000 year history. i find it sad that now many there think America can do anything millitarily. It is old story , big power trying to subdue a small nation because they can.

Lance, I was thinking the same thing...
(he should as the UN before he goes on vacation if they're ready for a world crisis ;)

This is all Brian's fault. He knows that if he goes on vacation, something hugely newsworthy will happen.

HOW DO YOU INVADE YOUR OWN COUNTRY???? Please explain Tara.

The Georgia/Russia conflict underlines Bush's laughable foreign policy. Remember, if Bush had his way, Georgia would already be a NATO member and the 'Old Europe' would now be in a very difficult position (oddly, the US hasn't moved to sign any treaty with Georgia on its own).

dear russian caller
georgia's "movement" was in georgian territory!

Didn't Russia place a resolution before the Security Council last week to renounce violence, and the US vetoed it?

It is beyond my comprehension as to why Georgia would invade Ossetia. What did they think would be the result? You can't poke a dragon in the eye (meaning Russia) and then run and hide behind the skirts of the western countries and expect that they'll fight the battle you started! The US needs to stay out of this conflict entirely!

Since when does a country react to another country moving troops within its own borders.

Agreeing with the fact that George did the initial attack. But this article by the Jamestown foundation gives a very good reason why...

Now we have to hear all the russian apologist come on the air and make excuses for a Russian oil power play.

Let’s get our minds straight; it was Georgia that bombarded the South Ossetia town of Tskhinvali last Thursday. It is Mr. Saakashvili who has spent he’s entire political career in
provoking Russia.
In what fantasy universe dose Mr. Saakashvili live to think that a military attack on Russian interest will get American or Western military support. Russia will not be encircled by having NATO members on its boarders.
The responsabilty for creating this humanitarian crisis lies squarely on the shoulders of Mr. Saakashvili and his government.

Behind Georgia’s attack on South Ossetia is NATO and US’s failed policy toward Russia and the Caucasus. South South Ossetia and the much of the Caucasus is within the sphere of influence of Russia.

Encirclement of Russia by the US and NATO via President Saakashvil by inclusion of Georgia into NATO is playing with fire.
Is the West prepared to have war with Russia?

US condemns Russia? WHAT???

What a laugh.

The US attacked Iraq without cause.

How can the US condemns ANYTHING?

the US tortures and abducts innocent people off their streets and dumps in Egypt to be tortured.

We don't have a leg to stand on.
