Well, they may have gone into Georgia, but they better not mess with Alabama.

The Neo-Soviet regime in Russia should stop digging - they have already hit bottom - and they may not have noticed that the rest of the free world is starting to bury them.

Russia did the right thing here. I''ll be Russia''s friend. I sure as hell will never be bush''s friend. I don''t like having stupid friends.

Still the main stream media is trying to turn this into "The Russian Invasion". It was the Georgia that started this mess and Russia moved in to shore things up, just as any other country would have done. Russia doesn''t need anymore friends. They need to protect their boarders and interests and really don''t give a rats butt about being friendly right now. With NATO spitting and cussing them I,m surprised they have kept their cool and limited the military response.

Our old friends Germany and France don''t think China''s military is a threat to anyone %u2013 certainly not them %u2013 and want to sell even more sophisticated, high-tech weaponry to Beijing. There''s good money to be made, they say. Appease the beast, they say.

Major source for this article was the AP report. However, beyond an assertion that SCO "deepened Russia''s international isolation over its military action," the fact is, no facts are presented to support this claim, either by CBS or the AP.

This may be due to the fact that there are no facts to support the claim and that the SCO''s stance -- as reported by numerous other non-US news organizations -- at its most extreme interpretation, merely calls for more negotiation.

I understand CBS and AP are trying to push the Administration position on Georgia, regardless of the facts. I just wonder why it doesn''t do so more directly and why it goes through the charade of trying to appear "objective?"

The No. 1 military objective in China''s strategic planning remains reunification with Taiwan.

[underdogus87]

Taiwan split from the mainland at the end of the Chinese civil war in 1949, but Beijing still sees the island of 23 million as part of Chinese territory and has pledged to bring it back into the fold, by force if necessary. Beijing means what it says.

"We once again urge the Chinese Communist Party authorities not to underestimate the will of the Taiwan people in defending the sovereignty, security and dignity of the Republic of China," said President Chen Shui-bian

[underdogus87]

China is attempting to justify its inevitable invasion of Taiwan with some legal maneuvering %u2013 an anti-secession law.

The free world''s response to this grotesque violation of human rights and militaristic, imperialistic threat should be to recognize Taiwan once and for all as an independent, free and sovereign nation-state.

But don''t hold your breath. Washington doesn''t want any more crises on its plate. The Bush administration has its hands full with the war on Islamo-fascist terrorists and Russia. It doesn''t want any trouble with China right now. Washington would prefer to live in the world of make-believe and wishful-thinking %u2013 pretending that China will forget about its promise to reunite free Taiwan with totalitarian mainland.

For about 15 years Europe''s borders have been clearly demarcated, he said; "new nations have come out of the old Soviet Union, they''ve joined the European Union, and the European countries have enjoyed a period of unprecedented stability."

Gee, now why would they want to do that instead of becoming puppets in a re-organized Soviet Union? It boggles the mind.

Wiping the blood of Tibetans off their jackboots, the Chinese condemned Russia.
