"If Georgia initiated this then they were dumber than a bag of rocks." Georgia had friends pushing them to take back South Ossetia. The US has 2,000 troops there, and has equipped the Georgian police with high tech weapons, which have been used against civilians. Georgia needs to cooperate with the US to have any chance of gaining NATO admission. South Ossetia has only 40,000 people. There is one US "advisor" for each 20 South Ossetians.
