It seems gas prices are on people''s minds, not the story. It''s not that complicated. Georgia launched an assault on South Ossetia, going door to door, throwing hand grenades into basements where civilians were holed up, hiding.

Because all they needed was for Russia to contain the fight to South Ossetia, and they win. No person in their right mind would live in a country, where Georgian troops can come by at any time and murder you in your basement.

That would have emptied out South Ossetia, from those pesky ''Ossetians'' and ethnic Georgians would have been free to move in and sieze all property, assets, etc.

The only response Russia can do, to return things to the status quo, is to bring in overwhelming force, to the extend that they paralyze the Georgian military, and cause Saaka-whatever, to regret his actions.

That''s it. George Bush knows he is advising Moscow to give South Ossetia to the Georgians when he asks for containment. George will be ignored, as he should be.

Quite frankly, I support the South Ossetians in their desire to not be exterminated, and I think any reasonable person here, has to support that.

Khalilzad asked Russian Ambassador Vitaly Churkin whether the Russians were seeking "regime change" in Georgia with the military operation they launched Friday.

In response, Churkin objected to the disclosure of a confidential phone call between top diplomats and said "regime change" was "an American expression."

This collosal failure is yet another nail in the coffin of Bush''s presidency. His is indeed the worst and most destructive president in the history of this country.

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.

[Earlier Monday, U.S. President George W. Bush sharply criticized Moscow''s harsh military crackdown, saying the violence is unacceptable and Russia''s response is disproportionate. ]

President Bush provoked this Russian intrusion into Georgia by going ahead to place U.S. Missile Defense systems in Georgia next to Russia. 2 weeks ago Russia said they will not allow it - period.
