It sounds to me as if the American interest is to broker an Anschluss of the two disputed ethic Russian areas of Georgia to eliminate plausible Russian claims in the remaining portions of the repressive little republic of Georgia.

The Russians would have been wise to do the same with their troublesome Muslim regions.

Putin has his work cut out for him with more than enough internal problems to occupy himself. I think in time he will be faced with the reality of this situation.

I think the sooner we dispose of the entanglement of Iraq the better off we are. Putting the fortune we are spending in Iraq into other than Middle East oil energy sources solves a multitude of problems. It's simply a matter of desire.

Listening posts in Georgia / Azerbaijan could have modest cost advantages but little in the way of strategic value that cannot be obtained in other ways.
