What a nice little war John McCain has organized for his own benefit.

Clearly he''s told Saakashvili, "you scratch my back, I scratch yours". Saaks then attacks civilians, the Russians respond predictably, and John McCain gets to run into the spotlight and try to look presidential.

Then, if McCain gets elected, fat paybacks to Saaks, which feeds real well into Cold War John''s program.

And no doubt Bushit thinks he''ll help this program along by sending a military destroyer instead of a cargo ship with "humanitarian aid".

You could carry more freight on a freighter, but that wouldn''t be as provocative as a US Navy destroyer. Destroyers don''t carry much, but Bush and McCain could care less about the people of the region.

They just want to use it for Henry Kissinger type Realpolitik.
