News, Bush to Russia: Pull out.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The United States demanded Wednesday that Russia end all military activities in neighboring Georgia as President Bush ordered U.S. aid for Georgians devastated by the invasion.
With rapidly changing circumstances on the ground and uncertain knowledge about Russia's commitment to a French-mediated cease-fire it says it has agreed to, Bush also said he was dispatching Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to Tbilisi.

When I saw the words "pull out" I immediately thought of what George HW Bush should've done.  |

Bush hardly has the right to tell anyone to "pull out". at least not without being a little bit of a hypocrite. If we are supposed to ignore it when countries dislike our practices, why can't other countries do the same with us?
Now before someone jumps on it and starts the lynch mob, I never said I agree with what Russia is doing.

Putin to USA: Stop pushing for Georgia to join NATO. (What a bogus idea to begin with!)

Why can't a country choose to join NATO if they want? Are they not a sovereign nation?

Sure, humanitarian aid is important.
Hope it arrives quicker than it did to New Orleans.  |

Hopefully that 'humanitarian aid' will help rearm the Georgians.

The Pentagon emphasized that its initial focus would be on providing relief supplies, but announced Wednesday that it would also begin efforts to rebuild the Georgian military.
