Russians invade georgia
We Are America, Act like it!
Bush may have found his balls. And it’s a good thing. It has become a handicap, being an American ally. When the going gets tough, the “tough” appease and chances are you’ll be very much on your own if you are an “American ally”. Look at our recent record. We lost Lebanon to Hezb’allah, we have thrown Israel to the Islamic barbarians, Taiwan is screwed, Japan is staring at NORK’s nukes and the Tibetans are as good as dead. Who’d I miss? Oh yeah, Columbia.
With a friend like America who needs enemies? We have done more to diminish our hegemony than any foreign entity ever could. We have little credibility.

Bush warns Russia to pull back in Georgia MATTHEW LEE hat tip Van
WASHINGTON (AP) - President Bush on Monday demanded that Russia end a “dramatic and brutal escalation” of violence in Georgia, agree to an immediate cease-fire and accept international mediation to end the crisis in the former Soviet republic. Almost immediately after his return from the Olympics in China, Bush warned Russia in his strongest comments since the fighting erupted over Georgia’s separatist South Ossetia levitra region last week to “reverse the course it appears to be on” and abandon any attempt it may have to topple Georgia’s pro-western government.
Sounds good.
…
Wood said the United States was hopeful that the U.N. Security Council would pass a “strong” resolution on the fighting that called for an end to attacks on both sides as well as mediation, but prospects for such a statement were dim given that Russia wields veto power on the 15-member body.
WTF?
UPDATE: I forgot Cuba. Who can forget the Bay of Pigs. (thanks to Cyber Ray in the comments.)
