Let me get this straight.....USA, which is Georgia ally blames Russia for its "disproportionate(sp) response". Those words came from GWB himself. Maybe i just don't get it, but it appears that GWB is acknowledging Russia's response.

I think it looks like he's not sure what the hell to do, and it seems like he's walking a tightrope on this one, though I don't know all the details...

He basically said they have the right to defend themselves....since Georgia did shoot first....but extinction is a little much or disproportionate. ....in short.
What message would you get if your nation responded to a request for help by sending troops far away and when your nation is invaded by a much more powerful neighbor,your pleas for help fall on deaf ears?
To me it would seem that the USA is not to be trusted.
Perhaps the Georgians are correct in that.
But why the USA , why not UN?

By the way I know the UN is useless which is my point we cant continue being the worlds ref

South Ossetia is Georgian.
I don't know much about South Ossetia and all that but look at the whole situation - the West has it's hands all over this three/four day conflict.

I agree because our options are limited .
Either escalate the whole thing or sit tight for now see what happens.
For all those who's biggaest concern is we dont get involved, hang on this is just the beggining of much bigger thing's to come from Russia!!! But hey what do we care? we have our own problems, Starbuck's is struggling and Homosexuals still can"t marry in all 50 states!!
Starbucks was grossly over priced they did it to themselves.
I feel bad for the employees but the not the corp itself.
