So if you're siding with that camp freedie you're siding with Bush and his propaganda advisors. And since the Georgians have possibly started the invasion either directly or indirectly with the USA eulogies - or perhaps they thought they could get away with it cause big fat uncle Sam would be on their side?
So I dunno, I'd take anything "Bush" with a pinch of salt these days.

Leave Bush out of this. I'm siding with people who're willing to call a spade a spade and stop with this ridiculous hypocrisy. Russia doesn't give a shit about Russian citizens living in Ossetia. We all know what a thorn in Putin's side Georgia's pro-western stance was after Shevernadze got kicked out (by the people, like it should be). What I see is an invasion on a soverign country's borders. Not a country that harbour terrorism or tyranic dictators. Not a country that holds public executions on a football pitch. But simply a country that threatens dangerous NATO expansion. They've showed a clip today of Putin & Medvedev discussing current state of affairs; Putin saying that they simply have to protect poor people of Ossetia from Georgian genocide.... that literaly made me physically sick. What guile! What hypocrisy! It's just unbearable.
