Punish Russia??????...For what?.....Georgia started the war...what about them?...They were the one''s who started shelling people.(when they ''mistakingly'' thought that the cat was away)

[timdgrim]

That''s SOVEREIGN...me not know how spell right....

[timdgrim]

There should be punishment for nations that invade another soverign nation, or at least it''s leader should be punished. Let''s see...who did this before Russia did it....hmmmmmm....let...me....see....
Oh Yeah.....

[patriot12436]

Who does the U.S. and Europe think they are to punish anyone ? Russia was dealing with an internal matter. It is not our business. What if China invaded Guam and we counter attacked, would Russia then say we should be punished ?

[jtdev1]

George will do the only thing he knows how to do - a slap on the wrist and pat on the back....

heck-of-a-job Putin...

[tawpdawg111]

well...lets see..... we could nuke em!

But they might nuke us back.

We couldddddddddddddd.........make a no-fly zone!

But they might nuke us.

We coulddddddddddddd..........put boots on the ground!

But they might nuke us.

We could send a top level delegation in....Rice , Cheney, Bush!

If THEY get nuked it won''t matter.....They''re lame ducks!

And I DO mean lame.

Here''s the bottom line- you kill Russians, they''ll kill you back. And they''ll humiliate anyone left to make sure you learn the lesson. That''s what happened, and it is downright funny to see all these folks scurrying around talking about what meetings they''re going to cancel.

Georgia did NOT attack Russia in any way.

What a dumba$$. South Ossetians were never ethnically similar to Georgians and never wanted to be part of Georgia. They were PUT there by Stalin. They declared their independence from Georgia when the rest of the Soviet satellites declared their independence from the Soviet Union. Georgia slammed S. Ossetian civilians and peacekeepers with an unprovoked rocket attack that lasted through the night last Thursday, killing hundreds and sending thousands of refugees fleeing out of the capital city. Where do you think these "Georgians" as you call them fled- TO RUSSIA. That''s because 95% of them applied for and received Russian passports, even though Russia still recognizes S. Ossetia as an autonomous entity in within the boundaries of Georgia. Listen a$$hole- what would you expect the U.S. to do if they had peacekeepers (not their army, mind you) in a zone of conflict and one of the parties started shooting rockets at them all night long for no reason, and killed Russian peacekeepers, as well as citizens? You''re full of shiiit.

For now, the Bush administration decided to boycott a third meeting at NATO on Tuesday at which the alliance''s governing board, the North Atlantic Council, was preparing for a meeting with a Russian delegation that has been called at Moscow''s request, officials said.

In addition, a senior defense official said the U.S. has decided to dump a major NATO naval exercise with Russia that was scheduled to begin Friday.

Sailors and vessels from Britain, France, Russia, and the U.S. were to take part in the annual Russia-NATO exercise aimed at improving cooperation in maritime security. But the official said there is no way that the U.S. could proceed with it in the midst of the Georgian crisis.

Bet this will break the russians hearts. That will teach them a lesson. Looks like they already had their training exercize.

"...give Israel the green light to bomb the nuclear facilities and see what they say, and as a side note, bomb any Russian and Chinese industries in Iran..."

YOUR A PHUKIN LUNATIC!

[paulharrison-2009]

OK let''s play their game, Russia and China are doing deals with Iran outside of sanctions, I say give Israel the green light to bomb the nuclear facilities and see what they say, and as a side note, bomb any Russian and Chinese industries in Iran. Two can play at this game.

Bush and the neocons have to be living in an alternative universe. Punish the Russian for defending themselves... I''''m stunned.

What are you talking about! Russia was not attacked, not Georgian solider or tank moved onto Russian soil. South Ossetia is a semi-autonomous province in GEORGIA. The majority of the people living there are ethnically of Iranian/Persian decent. Russia gave them passports in part of the Russian govts efforts to woo them to Moscow, but, the fact remains, South Ossetia is legally part of Georgia. Russia was not in anyway, shape or form attacked.

"Punish the Russian for defending themselves... I''''m stunned."

So was I, when I heard you thought Russia was attacked.

What universe do you live in?

Josef Goebbles must be dancing a jig over this triumph of propaganda genius.

george bush critisizes russia for a "disproportionate" response to an attack on its own soil. yet only 5 years ago promised "shock and awe" for the responce to 9/11 to a country that had nothing to do with 9/11.

Hi

Here is something we like to call in the real world a fact. Russia was not attacked by Georgia. Georgia moved to try and bring South Ossetia back under broader control of the Georgian central govt. South Ossetia is legally a province IN GEORGIA. Georgia did NOT attack Russia in any way.
