Other NATO member had reservations about what Russia would do. Given the present circumstances, I'd say they were well-founded. It is 100% obvious that Russia would NEVER have done what they did if Georgia were covered by NATO. Real obvious only to you. And with NATO troops now amassing in Poland, Latvia, Estonia etc on the borders with Russia, Putin is pissing his pants. Oh wait.....NATO isn't amassing on the borders, Putin is not pissing his pants, and Bush is having a tall, cool one at Crawford, hoping no one will bother him. Only because we understand how the game is played. Nonsense. "Your team" understands how to cave. Conservatives understand that peace is attained through strength, and that sometimes war is necessary. I don't know what in HELL you're talking about........it seems to me that Condi and Bush are doing a hell of job of caving........not that they have a real choice in the matter thanks to the steps they took in Georgia over the past two years.

"It is 100% obvious that Russia would NEVER have done what they did if Georgia were covered by NATO." Sort of a moot point. NATO would have never approved of Georgia doing what they did. "Nonsense. "Your team" understands how to cave. Conservatives understand that peace is attained through strength, and that sometimes war is necessary." A comforting myth. Your team is much more attuned to video games. Your guys managed a win in Grenada and Panama. My guys have a better track record. Your guys tend to have all the subtlety and understanding of crack head who decides to do a stickup at a police convention.
