Your thoughts seem very reasonable to me - there is no doubt that this area is full of strategic geography. The leaders of these countries are targets of many laughs (http://englishrussia.com/?p=2013 ), but suddenly find themselves in the middle of conflicting international interests.

However, I sense nervousness and inconsistency in Medvedev's public appearances, indicating that Medvedev was not really prepared for the consequences of the invasion. Therefore, this is also the time where he needs to be taught the right lesson.

I'm not sure where Putin and others are in this, and how much Medvedev is really in power, but he is surely uneasy. It is probably also embarrassing to him, that Saakashvili is treated with equal interest and respect by the international press, and that he finds himself totally unable to set the agenda. The power elite in Russia do receive foreign news, and care about how Russia is presented.
