Russia’s Nervous Neighbors

From Russia. And can create is better a game rule for all identical. What is the boys did not kick small because of a back of the big uncles. The United Nations it is necessary to raise the importance. That United Nations decisions were obligatory for all. And here if someone starts to become impudent - then to accept rigid sanctions. But here is how it to make if at the countries different weight? And that who is stronger - that and the peacemaker! And now more strongly the USA are not present whom!

I agree that the USA didn't trained the Georgian army to beat Russia. I think the USA trained the Georgian Army to kill people of S.Ossetia and Abkhazia. Let's create a basis for peace in Georgia, Russia, and the USA, not for a new war. Peace is much better.

Wake up Americans. If Hamilton is telling the truth (that we didn't want this war) why are we rewarding rather than reprimanding Saakashvili? Why is McCain anxious to call him his "good friend" We could have stopped him from his initial attack on civilians with one phone call.
While our attention has been on olympics & political conventions, another war is being planned; this time with Russia....!!!!

Braes,
I get a kick out of your unconventional and very well written comments. Well thought out. You seem like a very worldly and intelligent person. Thanks!

Well, it is somewhat heartening to see by comments here that not everyone has been hoodwinked by the mainstream media. Georgia was the aggressor. Full stop.

It was just a handful of months ago that news of the Pentagon's illegal propaganda campaign broke (it clearly violates US law relating to covert government propaganda).
Given American's trait of short term memory I think people should do an internet (NOT mainstream media, for heaven's sake) search to get a refresher.

Central to this article is a good Lt. Col.'s comments. Note that the Lt. Col is presently at CSIS which has a reputation as a "conservative propaganda machine". So "buyer beware".
...More than "buyer beware"!...one needs to seriously consider whether the author of this article phone number is in some Roledex at CSIS.

The author is one John Barry, who on the eve of the invasion of Iraq penned an article that included this:

"To combat Saddam???s psychological warfare and refute disinformation, CENTCOM has created a "rapid-response team." CENTCOM will try to provide photographic proof to back up its claims, releasing footage from gun cameras and other weapons systems as well as before-and-after photographs from satellites"

You see, there was fear that collateral damage would be pinned on the US instead of where it belonged -- "the enemy".

John Barry's article continued:

"Truth may not be an adequate defense. [...] Shocked by television images of human carnage, demonstrators will take to the streets at home and abroad. Politicians will call on Bush to get it over with, to declare victory and go home."

We shall note that concern about collateral damage was well founded. Hundreds of thousands have been injured or killed in the conflict so far. But the Pentagon makes no effort itself of estimating numbers. They do go to considerable effort to man "rapid-response teams" for "photographic proof" and keep Roledexes up to date.

Let Georgia go to Russia for aid, let's keep our finger out of it, and what is that Cheney doing their, every time I look at him, he looks like someone gave him a hard left hook, he doesn't belong their, whats he trying to do, it was Georgia's fault let them make peace with Russia and keep this country out of it, our nose doesn't belong their, bring Cheney home.

Should the us help rebuild the Georgia military...no! Look are we ready for WWIII? What is Georgia to us, are we getting oil from them, do you think Russia is going to sit back, should we be rebuilding our own military? Right now Russia is starting military exercises on our side of the world.
