Sounds like the Russians may well have been the aggressors, well concealed, for there is no way I can see a small country like Ga. starting a war with a relative behemoth like Russia. The passports are probably the 21st century equivalent of then gulf of Tonkin.

Now what has Abkhazia to do with South Ossetia? Nothing except that the Russian want to destroy and conquer Georgia and take over the only free transit route form Central Asia to Europe

Yup.

It's the pipelines, the fact that W is a lame duck, and the Euros weak that gave Russia the opening.

It may well be a calculation made on the basis of the US electoral cycle, but not a calculation made by the Georgians but instead made by Putin the Terrible who knows that if McCain is elected, he might well not be able to pull the stunt off.
