Bush dispatches US military forces to Georgia
- Text size

WSWS
August 15, 2008
In a major escalation of the conflict with Russia over Georgia, President George W. Bush on Wednesday announced a “vigorous and ongoing” deployment of US military forces to its key ally in the Caucasus. Bush appeared in the White House Rose Garden for the second time in three days, this time flanked by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Defense Secretary Robert Gates, and announced the military buildup, casting it as a humanitarian relief operation.
Even as he spoke of a humanitarian mission, Bush made clear the military dimensions of the measures he was announcing. He said he was directing Pentagon chief Gates to lead the mission, which would be “headed by the United States military.” He announced that a C-17 military aircraft was already on its way to Georgia and that “in the days ahead we will use US aircraft, as well as naval forces, to deliver humanitarian and medical supplies.”
This is a formula for an injection of US military and naval forces into Georgia of indeterminate scope and duration. It will certainly involve the presence of hundreds if not thousands of uniformed US military personnel on the ground, and a substantial number of warships in the region. The US is introducing this military force into a situation that remains highly unstable and combustible, raising the possibility of a direct military clash between the United States and Russia.
Bush spoke less than a day after Russia and Georgia had agreed provisionally to a cease-fire in their five-day war. The agreement had been brokered by French President Nicolas Sarkozy, acting on behalf of the European Union.
Even as Bush spoke, Russia and Georgia were trading accusations of truce violations, and Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili was objecting to provisions of the agreement which, he claimed, failed to prevent the pro-Russian break-away republics of South Ossetia and Abkhazia from seceding from Georgia.
In his remarks, Bush issued an implicit threat against any attempt by Russia to interfere with Washington’s “humanitarian” operation. “We expect Russia to honor its commitment,” he said, “to let in all forms of humanitarian assistance. We expect Russia to ensure that all lines of communications and transport, including seaports, airports, roads and airspace, remain open for the delivery of humanitarian assistance and for civilian transit.”
The US will pour military resources into Georgia to strengthen its hand against Russia, and denounce any objections by Moscow as an attack on humanitarian aid and a violation of the cease-fire agreement.
Within minutes of Bush’s Rose Garden statement, Saakashvili spelled out its essential meaning in a televised address from Tbilisi. “You have heard the statement by the US president that the United States is starting a military-humanitarian operation in Georgia,” he said. “It means that Georgian ports and airports will be taken under the control of the US defense ministry…”
He went on to call Bush’s “relief” mission a “turning point,” and characterized its import as “definitely an American military presence.”
Bush also announced that Rice would immediately travel to France to meet with Sarkozy and then go to Georgia. Employing the rhetoric of the Cold War, he said Rice would meet with Saakashvili and “continue our efforts to rally the free world in defense of a free Georgia.”
He further threatened Russia with diplomatic and political sanctions, suggesting it might be excluded from the G-8 group of industrialized nations and prevented from joining the World Trade Organization.
Hypocrisy
Bush’s remarks were drenched with hypocrisy. He reiterated Washington’s support for Georgian control of the disputed territories of South Ossetia and Abkhazia, invoking once again the “sovereignty and territorial integrity of Georgia.” Neither he nor any other American spokesperson has explained why Georgia’s use of murderous violence against South Ossetia in its indiscriminate shelling of the region’s capital city was a legitimate defense of “territorial integrity,” while Serbia’s use of force against Kosovan secessionists was a war crime.
The US seized on Serbia’s moves against CIA-backed separatists in Kosovo to carry out a ten-week air war, under the auspices of NATO, in 1999. While Washington decries Russia’s “disproportionate” use of force against Georgian troops which attacked South Ossetia and condemns Moscow for military action beyond the borders of the breakaway republic, the US and NATO rained bombs and missiles on virtually all parts of Serbia, demolishing bridges, water pumping stations, electricity grids, government buildings, housing developments, schools and hospitals in the capital city of Belgrade. The US and NATO killed far more civilians in its campaign to crush Serbia, a traditional ally of Russia, than have been killed by both sides in the current fighting in the Caucasus.
The US has absolutely no political or moral standing to denounce Russia or anyone else for deploying military force. Washington asserts an unlimited and unilateral right to mobilize its massive apparatus of military violence wherever and whenever it wishes, spreading death and destruction from the Persian Gulf to Central Asia and threatening even more bloody conflagrations.
In the current conflict, the US government and media have cast Russia as the aggressor. There is no progressive content to Moscow’s actions in Georgia. They are motivated by the predatory aims of the Russian ruling elite, which is intent on reasserting Russian control over territories on its border that it dominated for centuries. However, the eruption of war in the Caucasus is the outcome of a policy pursued by US imperialism since the breakup of the Soviet Union whose ultimate aim is the reduction of Russia to a semi-colonial status.

It is inconceivable that Washington was not intimately involved in the preparations for Georgia’s attack on South Ossetia. US military advisers virtually run the military of what Washington considers its key ally in the Cacausus, a strategically critical bridgehead between the oil-rich Caspian Basin and Western Europe.
Just one month ago Secretary of State Rice visited Tbilisi and reaffirmed US support for Georgia’s admission to NATO, a development which Russia considers an intolerable threat to its security. Rice’s visit was followed by a massive three-week military training exercise, in which 1,000 US troops participated.
The incendiary measures announced by Bush on Wednesday represent the response of American imperialism to the major setback it has suffered as a result of Russia’s military intervention in Georgia. There is great concern within the US ruling elite that Russia’s routing of Georgia will undermine Washington’s drive to displace Russia from Moscow’s former spheres of influence in Eastern Europe and Central Asia and establish American hegemony over the Eurasian land mass.
US policy makers worry that the example of Georgia will weaken US control over right-wing client regimes it has established in a whole number of countries that were either part of the Soviet Union, such as Georgia and Ukraine, or allied to the Soviet Union through the Warsaw Pact.
A pattern of provocation
From the dissolution of the USSR in 1991 to the present, the United States has carried out a policy of militarily encircling Russia and surrounding it with hostile states dependent upon and subservient to Washington.
As the USSR was disintegrating, the United States launched its first war against Iraq, a key ally of the Soviet Union in the Middle East. During the 1990s, the US and Western Europe sponsored the dismemberment of Yugoslavia in order to isolate and weaken the Russian ally Serbia.
In 1998, the US spearheaded the incorporation into NATO, the US-dominated military alliance, of a whole number of newly independent states that had been either part of the Soviet Union or allied to it through the Warsaw Pact, including Estonia, Latvia, Poland, the Czech Republic, Hungary and Bulgaria.
In 1999 the US launched the air war against Serbia. At the same time, the US organized the construction of a new pipeline to transport oil from the Caspian Basin, via Baku, through Georgia to the Mediterranean port of Ceyhan, bypassing Russian territory.
In 2002, the US set up military bases in the former Central Asian Soviet republics of Uzbekistan (since then closed at the insistence of the Uzbek government) and Kyrgyzstan. At the end of 2003, the US engineered the “Rose Revolution” that brought Saakashvili to power in Georgia. In 2004, NATO admitted a new group of states formerly aligned with Russia—Lithuania, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia. One year later Washington orchestrated the “Orange Revolution” that toppled a pro-Russian government in Ukraine and replaced it with a pro-American regime.
The final chapter in this assault on the strategic position of Russia was the recognition last February of Kosovo’s bid for independence from Serbia.
Until now, the US has encountered no serious resistance. The events of the past week represent a major shift. For the first time, Russia, flush with oil money and able to exploit the overextended state of the US military, with its massive commitments in Iraq and Afghanistan, pushed back.
This has evoked an apoplectic response in the American ruling elite, which has no intention of accepting a diminution of its influence in the regions formerly dominated by the Soviet Union. US imperialism will react by immensely escalating its confrontation with Russia, no matter what the cost.
There is also a domestic component to the US escalation of tensions with Russia. The Bush administration is consciously seeking to create an atmosphere of international crisis in the run-up to the November presidential election. It calculates that an election held in an environment of fear and insecurity will boost the electoral chances of the Republican candidate John McCain.
McCain has based his campaign on his military background and his supposed foreign policy experience. From early on, he has called for a more combative stance toward Russia, and has responded to the Georgia crisis by demanding Russia’s ejection from the G-8 and other punitive measures.
The Wall Street Journal in an editorial on Wednesday summed up the demand of sections of the ruling elite and elements within the Bush administration for a major and permanent shift to something like a new Cold War against Russia. The newspaper wrote: “Reshaping US policy toward Russia will take longer than the months between now and January 20, when a new president takes office. But Mr. Bush can at least atone for his earlier misjudgments about Mr. Putin and steer policy in a new direction that his successor would have to deal with.”
There are, in fact, only relatively minor tactical differences between McCain and Democratic candidate Barack Obama on US policy toward Russia. Both continue to demand the admission of Georgia and Ukraine into NATO, which would put the US-led military alliance on the very doorstep of Russia. Had Georgia already been a member of NATO, the alliance would have been legally bound to intervene militarily in its defense following Russia’s incursion into South Ossetia.
The trajectory of the imperialist drive to carve up the world, spearheaded by US imperialism’s mad drive for global hegemony, is ominously clear. The American ruling elite will drag American workers and all of humanity into a catastrophe unless it is stopped. The only social force capable of achieving this is the international working class, united in the struggle to put an end to capitalism, the source of imperialist war, on the basis of a revolutionary socialist program.

We are messing with a bear, who has tried to be nice and pleasant. The constant poking and demands made on the Bear, the Bear has sat back and sharpened his teeth, strengthened his bite, shaprened his skills. Waiting patiently for a time to finally stand up and say no more. Well my friends that times has come, The Bear is angry, he is mad, he has been viewed as a mongrel savage for 80 years, and now he is going to show the world how angry and fed up he is. When Bush and Cheney do their little flase flag, so they can say that the Bear(Russia) attacked this or blew this up, or whatever. You will see Russia storm Europe, the Middle east, and you will see attacks on American soil, like you have never thought possible. I stand on the side of The Bear, true at times the Bear has attacked and maimed, but only to protect itself or one of its cubs. You will see A new Bear one that is ready for the hunt and the kill. Wake up Bush you filthy scumbag. You are about to bring destruction upon the Good Ole USA, by your deep desire to rule the world.

More Infowars propaganda. Their aids idiot not fucking troops. And the source isn’t reliable.
August 15th, 2008 at 1:26 pm
It is obvious America has gone insane.
America’s own Christians have allowed the murder drives and destructions that has been done in your twisted and mutated drive for freedom.
By the simple fact America in general has gone so loco you can justify torture, this makes you a commercail dictatorship. Which is far worse then what Hitler, (a Bush client) ever did.
America is now doing the exact same thing Napoleon and Hitler had done.
Don’t forget, they were also used by the same powers that are now using you.
Only, the benevolent forces are keeping America in check for now, before you all go off the deep end and are beyond reach.
But with your neocon PNAC oil monopoly plans reaching yet another set back, driving the NWO cult members mental with rage, it now appears America no longer can tell it’s own bad people to wise up.
And if America can no longer have any sort of sense of right and wrong, then those evil voices in America’s collective skull are gonna tell you all to either join hands and drink the koolaid or make the world drink it first.
Well, Russia better do something about you. and NOW.
Before you decide to carry out another 911 style attack that can improve the conditions for the BushCheney neozon team and scam up another pray and slay crusade. With your 2o Bin Laden copies probably getting ready in the make-up rooms (the government puked them out without really testing them under a real careful examination. but this is also a sign they have nothing but contempt for the masses and assume we are either too stupid to know the difference or they can’t be bothered) , America’s total lack of owning up to it’s own war crimes, maeks you a very dangerous empire, indeed.
America has put sensibility on hold.
And if in fact, you did cash-in your brains and carry out 911 on you’re own citizens then you are now the most insane+dangerous terrosits group the world eill ever know for the simple reason you have enough nukes to destroy this planet a thousands times over.
Common sense wwouls say the devil wants you very badly.
Only insane or demon riden people smile about war.
And America is grinning from ear to ear.
Only Russia can stop you now.

A german news agency has translated russian blogs in which people say that the US wants to encircle russia. People in russia read blogs more often than people in other countries, because they dont trust their mainstream media. But they also say that the new president Dmitri Medwedew is not that much influenced by military and secret service as Putin was. In spite of the Fact that russia is corrupt too, in this case of war it seems to be the “good guy”.
August 15th, 2008 at 1:57 pm
Who said “bait”.
#2— when I heard that moron say that, I fell out of my chair laughing at the stupidity of such a statement. He never stops with the rediculous see through bullshit. Its amazing that so many people think he’s right about everything he does. Holy fuck.

WHAT A CROCK OF SHIT THIS IS……BUT VERY CLEVER I MIGHT ADD…..HERE IS WHAT WILL HAPPEN FROM THIS…..WE PROVOKE A CONFLICT WITH RUSSIA THROUGH GEORGIA…A CLASSIC PROXY WAR….WHICH WILL CAUSE A RETALIATION BY RUSSIA , BUT GEORGIA WILL COMMIT GENOCIDE ON THE SOUTH OSSETIANS MAKING IT LOOK LIKE OR SIMPLY BLAMING RUSSIA THEN AS THEY HAVE DONE….BROKER A PEACE DEAL TO STOP THE CONFLICT, THEN WE WITH THE MILITARY NOT RED CROSS WILL SAY WE ARE ON A HUMANITARIAN MISSION IN GEORGIA. THIS WILL GIVE THE JUSTIFICATION FOR THE U.S. TO OCCUPY GEORGIA MILITARILY.
WE ARE SIMPLY SPREADING THE EMPIRE BY HEGELIAN-DIALECT ( PROBLEM-REACTION-SOLUTION )….THIS WAS A VERY CLEVER MOVE ON THE PART OF THE U.S. BUT NOW WE MUST WATCH THE COUNTER MOVE TO THIS BY RUSSIA BECAUSE PUTIN ISNT STUPID……STAY TUNED FOR A POSSIBLE ROUND 2.
August 15th, 2008 at 2:07 pm
the Bush Regime does have a lot of nerve , with an illegal invasion of Iraq, based on LIES , the contrived invasion of Afghanistan and occupation and the real reason is for the Caspian Oil pipeline planned for years before 9-11 and the War on Somalia , (censored by the complicit U.S. corporate news) another invasion by U.S. backed Ethiopian military , that’s killing hundreds of civilians, rapes etc .etc. and hundreds of thousands of refugees , all unreported by the complicit U.S. corporate media and with all this going on they ARM to the Teeth A former Soviet republic , manipulate their election to get the government they want and setting up “missile defense ” which is really missile OFFENSE weapons systems , for possible first strike capability . With the provocative surrounding of Russia with U.S. military bases , even a knuckle dragging right winger SHOULD realize , Russia will not sit around and do nothing . The U.S. wouldn’t if Russia created bases in Canada and Mexico and don’t forget Cuba , we were willing to go to war to have THEIR missiles removed . So there is no difference and I saw it coming , that Russia KNOWS , Russia KNOWS that the Bush /NEOCON Regime is trying to take control of every region possible , by bribery , millions in military , pouring fuel on the region and directly threatening Russia .
But the knuckle draggers who are really right wing fat chicken hawks , who have watched too , too many chuck Norris movies , want a war with Russia and you’ll pay for it right wing chicken hawks , there’s nothing to gain , but a HUGE military aid BILL , more wars and oil rising or being cut OFF .
So keep supporting the NEOCON criminals , they don’t even give a damn about the lowly Right wingers on the bottom .

#7 humanitarian aide is typically carried out by red cross and other government funded agencies when the military is the one doing it is always under the guise of humanitarian relief, you are nothing but a un-informed democratic whore that they will use and abuse you dumb tax paying bitch wise up. i was in the military and was in “foriegn aide missions” and they are definately not aide missions.
August 15th, 2008 at 3:21 pm
alex jones i challenge you to a debate on how the georgia war happened. I will gladly expose you for the lack of investigation you have done on this subject. You have no evidence for the things you say and I will prove it. Please stop your rat poison style of journalism or debate me publicly.
August 15th, 2008 at 3:23 pm
America has nothing to offer the world now.
Which is why Bush say’s you’ll be thanking him later on when the EU and Asia control the world trade market. America’s government feels if you can control the shut-off valve to the worlds energy supplies, then you will basically still control those countries.
Giving you the ultimate prize.
It’s about to get really nasty, because America is on it’s own ALL OR NOTHING suicide mission.
August 15th, 2008 at 3:23 pm

As Webster G. Tarpley noted, THIS WHOLE SYSTEM IS ONE CONTINUOUS CREEPING COUP, AN INSURRECTION AGAINST CONSTITUTION AND LAW FROM BEGINNING TO END.
Pick any agency in the federal government and prove it’s not corrupt, impossible task you say, doesn’t take long to realize that this little exercise is sobering.
If my take away from this article is that it’s completely genuine, and I have no reason at this point to believe otherwise, then it’s time to head for the tall grass and kiss thy derriere goodbye.

The legislation has already been created; House Bill 393.

Of course, there will be a “national emergency” declared that will justify this action. The American Sheeple will fall in lockstep behind the new president and obediently submit to becoming cannon fodder for the neocon war machine.

Bush’s remarks the other day in the rose garden were drenched with utter hypocrisy. He reiterated Washington’s support for Georgian control of the disputed territories of South Ossetia and Abkhazia, invoking once again the “sovereignty and territorial integrity of Georgia.” However, neither he nor any other American spokesperson has explained why Georgia’s use of murderous violence against South Ossetia in its indiscriminate shelling of the civilians in the region’s capital city was a legitimate defense of “territorial integrity,” while Serbia’s use of force against Kosovan secessionists was a war crime. How could Clinton come to the defense of the islamic Kosovars in the 90’s and now we’re at war the “radical islam?” Bush’s “cowboy diplomacy could turn into another “shoot out at the OK corral.” Because our military is so over stretched Russia and China will be Doc Holiday and Wyett Erp.

Perhaps some strategic optimism for you…
(POSTED ELSEWHERE ON INFOWARS)
I just want to let everyone know what I think they should be focusing on: TIME.
The US is nearly out of resources and credibility. The US Nation is starting to wake up. Soon the US establishment will be finished. That’s why they are acting in quick succession, Ossetia, planes with “aid”, and now missile deal.
Whereas TIME is in favor of Putin and Co. With time more and more of world opinion will side with Russia, etc.
Since any military action on the part of Russia will lead almost directly to annihilation of the planet, expect Russia to create delay after delay. Expect USA to pile on outrage after outrage.
I am not too worried because Russia proved itself enormously patient and principled in Georgia.

Georgia is a distraction — for the Russians. The real neo-con target is Iran. The Russians, however, are not as dumb as the neo-cons, so this pathetic farce won’t probably have it’s intended effect. They are so incompetent that it would be comical if it was not, ultimately, so tragic. The attempt to turn America into the only world empire and the militant arm of the NWO has succeeded only in almost (so far) completely demolishing the American military and economy (perhaps an intended consequence!). In any event the neo-cons strategies are, in the end, totally self-defeating, but in their arrogance they are blind to their own shortcomings.
Regardless, Putin is not half as foolish as the fools in charge of the White House right now, so I really doubt this going to work. Besides, Monsieur Sarkozy, threatens to undermine Putin’s world statesman of the month plaque, and Putin makes peace once again. It’s so hard to be the political stud of the planet. The fracas is all over. So, the U.S. and the Israelis are in the same boat they were in ten days ago — how to attack Iran without anyone noticing. If they weren’t so evil, they wouldn’t be half so amusing.

This is so transparent it’s not funny. And it surely is transparent to Russia too. In fact, Russia is no doubt well aware that the U.S. is using this so-called “humanitarian aid” mission as cover for stationing more troops on their border(s), and as a potential pretext to invade Russia’s sovereign territory(ies); and, hopefully, it is obvious to them as well that the U.S., the E.U. and NATO are seeking to provoke further military response(s) from Russia as so-called “justification(s)” for entering into further, if not much larger scale, hostilities and warfare with Russia reminiscent of Afghanistan in the 1980s, including nuclear war. Russia can’t wait for the U.S. to nuke them first, so they are very likely to carryout (a) preemptive nuclear strike(s) themselves. They are certainly being brazenly and extremely pushed to do just that; and, considering the threats to them, if they exercise restraint from a nuclear response, it will certainly be surprising. As a result of the preemptive “example” already set by the U.S., Russia has every reason to emulate it.
It appears a nuclear preemptive response on the part of Russia is exactly what the NeoNaziCON “f***ing crazies” are bargaining on, and that they literally lust for a nuclear war with Russia, even if Europe is, and/or other areas like the Middle East are, nuked. It also looks like “our” U.S. troops being now sent to Georgia, as well as potentially “our” forces in the Middle East, are expendable pawns being intentionally used as sitting ducks to be wiped out in a nuclear conflagration. Then, what choice will the U.S. military have but to use this as a further pretext for using foreign, particularly Chinese and other troops, to replace those losses, and in order to further and complete its eugenics, New World Order (NWO) and one-world government hegemonic agenda. Thus, the cauldron fire is intentionally being stoked, and the flames purposely being fanned, into all out, mass World War IV nuclear insanity and increased mass human slaughter on a scale never having been seen or experienced before. Such is exactly the level of genocide that these Machiavellian Satanists desire.

Psalm 91
1He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
3Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
4He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
5Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
6Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
7A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
8Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
9Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
10There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
11For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
12They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
13Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.
14Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
15He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.
16With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

All-out nuclear war and/or the nuclear destruction of the U.S. may well be a consequence of the course of action that Washington is pursuing, however, I do not think that is their immediate plan. They want to distract Russia and choke off a potential invasion route to the Persian Gulf in the Caucasus mountains using the local friendlies (patsies). This is likely the proximal cause of this proxy (proxy for the U.S. only, so far) conflict.
That having been said, the neocons are displaying a lot of bravado and foolbravery in their rhetoric toward Russia. They may even believe their own press that they can take the Russians on (whatever that would mean) but that is not their immediate desire. Their immediate goals revolve around control of the Persian Gulf, and (if possible) the realignment of Central Asia, but our influence there is still very limited.

You are a bunch of idiots. If Georgia is wrong for keeping control of South Ossetia by means of military might, than the northern states were INCIDIOUS for invading the southern breakaway states during the Civil War. Alex Jones can be such a mindless fool. He says that Georgia and South Ossetia are “tradionally Russian” with an “ethnically Russian population” , so he doesn’t see Russia as being wrong in this conflict. If this is true Alex, GIVE TEXAS BACK TO MEXICO! After all, Texas is “traditionally Mexican” and is “ethnically Mexican”. Foolish argument Alex.

Oh my!! The Russian bear is feeling more threatened than ever and she could strike now that she has been provoked into a war within its own nation!! And like the Russian general said, “This will not be forgotten!!”" Meaning in Russian talk “”We will be remembering this when we attack you USA!!”" And as we will have to fight them; ONLY THE GREAT GOD OF HEAVEN WILL GIVE US THE VICTORY BECAUSE OF HIS CHILDREN THAT SERVE HIM HERE IN THE UNITED STATES!! For only about 20% of America truly know Him and Serve Him and truly believe in Him and HIS MIGHTY POWER on various levels of our callings and spirituality!!

Everything I read from mainstream media to alternative press smacks of propaganda. I just don’t know who or what to believe anymore. I so desperately want to know the TRUTH. It seems for a fact that the powers that be on all fronts are corrupt and we can only scratch at the surface of the real down and dirty and it stinks like a rotting corpse.
I was raised as a Christian but the bible, it seems, is being played out like a Hollywood script with Armageddon as the climax. The people on this site that spout verse after verse always leave out the bottom line which is “LOVE ONE ANOTHER!”
FREEDOM LOVERS UNITE!!!!!!!!!!!

It seems that with Georgia declaring that its Airports are now under the protection of the US, makes US aircraft and any US installations targets. Bush’s juvenile statements may participate an attack from Russia. I do not think that Russia can afford to make a limited strike as a statement but will have to make a massive retaliation to ensure that they have a reasonable chance of surviving. I would think that this would include NATO and US forces both deployed in Middle East and in garrison. It would include breaking supply lines from CONUS and Europe. I fear that if Bush continues this path there will not be any point on earth free from the possibility of nuclear attack. There is no point for Russia wait out the elections for change in administration because there will no difference in the philosophy of advancing the NWO. In fact the message that the current administration is sending, Russia cannot afford to wait too long for US and NATO forces to position themselves around Russia. I would think that this will come to a head very soon. Since the US has become totally unreliable with respect to its word, Russia has to be very cautious about what Bush declares to be humanitarian aid.

On 05-08-2008 a C-17 Landed on Schiphol, have the foto’s from a spotter, days later C-17 are used for getting Georgian troops back from Iraq and bringing goods to Georgie…
They needed C-17 aircraft because they knew they had use for them the next days after 05-08-2008…????
