Today the New York Times reports that Russia is escalating its war with Georgia, “moving tanks and troops through the separatist enclave of South Ossetia and advancing toward the city of Gori in central Georgia” and even bombing parts of Tibilisi, the Georgian captial.
Russia’s increasing aggression is putting a spark into American neoconservatives. Today on the Times op-ed page, one of their leaders, William Kristol, claims the U.S. must “defend” Georgia’s sovereignty as a reward for its participation in Iraq, while the conservative Washington Times is calling for “maximum pressure” on Russia:
Bill Kristol: [Georgia] has had the third-largest military presence — about 2,000 troops — fighting along with U.S. soldiers and marines in Iraq. For this reason alone, we owe Georgia a serious effort to defend its sovereignty. Surely we cannot simply stand by as an autocratic aggressor gobbles up part of — and perhaps destabilizes all of — a friendly democratic nation.
And the idiots like Kristol that calling for a war with Russia are theones that never served in the military.

No surprise there as Kristol never served in the US Military and wouldn't serve if asked. Russia knows what the deals were when the US choose their allies. Georgian President looked to team up with Bush so the US would protect them from Russia. Even Israel was in on the deals. I told everyone on this blog sight what's Russia doing as they have been to quiet. Now we know Oh and China just got a great deal with Iraq. I knew as the Gerbil was leaving all hell would break out. Now Pelosi lost her job by teaming up with the White House.
He's lost his cowardly mind once and for all. I'd like to see his sorry old @ss right on that front line-he wouldn't be missed.
I agree Jackie, its OVER for Nancy
