Your team claimed we were just being alarmist, the Russians were too interested in making money to upset any apple carts. "My team"??? My team wanted these states admitted to NATO to protect them from Russian aggression. I don't think Bush has handled the situation was well as McCain would have. But Obama has looked like a damned fool next to either of them. Your team looks like a total nitwit on foreign policy issues, which is why he did the European Tour -- as if that somehow gave him credentials.

This is funny. Fox News, of course, has been putting all the blame on Russia for the current mess in the Caucauses....doing what they do best....cuing their minions. Well it turns out that a 12 year old girl from CA was visiting her family in S. Ossetia. Shepherd, the Fox pundit, was asking her what happened. She tells him the bombs started dropping when she was sitting in a small cafe with her family. She goes on and on and Shepherd is just beside himself with concern. Then right in the middle of this exchange the girl blurts out......I want to thank the Russians from saving us from Georgian bombs. It was not what Shepherd wanted to hear. youtube.com
