On July 23, 2008, Moscow got angry about U.S. plans for missile-defense sites in eastern Europe.

U.S. President Bush Provoked this Russia Intrusion into Georgia.

BTW Everyone

I think we should all keep a close eye on Bush''s behaviour throughout this crisis. We''ll be able to see how a bully behaves when he''s up against someone his own size.

Who cares about all this. It''s happening over THERE and not in the mighty US. Let those 2 backwards countries fight it out.

The Bu$h dictatorship is such a sorry bunch of thugs.
Fascists always think the world should do what they say, not what they do...

Georgia miscalculated BIG time here. It thought it had the support of the US, the know-how and weaponry of Israel, and that Russia would contain itself because it was Olympic time.
So Georgia attacks, the Russians respond very well prepared for the moment and the US and Israel walk away from it all whistling as if nothing happened.
Another good example of how Jr. and his buddies don''t have a clue about what the f'' they''re doing.

Russia is the agressor in this action. They want regime change of Georgia and control over south ossetia where the pipelines pass through. The Russian''s are looking after their own interests and will not be co-erced.

South Ossetia is a province of Georgia. The BTC oil& gas pipelines go through this province.
The Russian economy is built on oil & natural gas.

This is about protection and control of oil & gas pipelines from the Caspian Sea to the seaport in Ceyran, Turkey.

The source of the oil is the BTC pipeline from the Caspian Sea Region. Shareholders in the BTC pipeline are: British Petroleum, AzBTC, Chevron, Statoil, TPAO, ENI, Total, Itochu, INPEX, ConocoPhillips & Amerada Hess. The US armed Georgia.

BERLIN (Reuters) - Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili said Russia intends to take over his country to secure energy supply routes from central Asia and to begin ridding the region of democracies.

"They want the whole of Georgia," Saakashvili said in an interview on Sunday with Germany''''s Rhein-Zeitung newspaper.

"The Russians need control over energy routes from central Asia and the Caspian Sea," he said in the interview to be published in the paper''s Monday edition.

Russia is the agressor in this action. They want regime change of Georgia and control over south ossetia where the pipelines pass through. The Russian''s are looking after their own interests and will not be co-erced.

"I was very firm with Putin" - Bush

Way to go, Bush. I''m sure they will back down now. Can somebody please tell this guy that no one takes him seriously, well except 30% of Americans who blindly call themselves Republican.
