Uh oh is right.

The Russians don’t like that sort of behavior.

Georgia's Interior Ministry spokesman says that Georgian forces have shot down two Russian combat planes as violence escalates in the breakaway province of South Ossetia.

Russia has sent 150 tanks and armored vehicles into the territory as what started as a regional conflict between Georgia and separatists threatens to build into all-out war.

A senior Georgian security official says Russian jets have bombed Vaziani military airbase outside the Georgian capital, Tbilisi, Reuters reports.

Not good.

Seems like Putin's itching for a chance to reassert Russian dominance. He's flexing his muscle. Godspeed to whatever troops we have in that region.

War is breaking out in the Caucuses. And yet there are Americans who still want Barak Obama to be Commander-in-Chief?!?

starting this sort of mess often happens when the news and the world’s attentions are diverted to something important (?) like the olympics.

Howie Carr coined the phrase “the Wizard of Uhs” quite a number of years ago and has played that game with tapes of the Uhs guy himself, the pantaloonless Senator from Hyannisport.

It really is tricky to win because a prolonged Uh could be several.

I love Rush, but he should give credit to Howie.

Even worse, there are “conservatives” who think it’s just fine for Obama to get elected. All because their RINO didn’t convince enough of the Republican base that he was really a conservative...

“The Russians don’t like that sort of behavior.”

Wonder if this will wake up the euro trash. Better not expect us to save them from the bear again.

Poland I would support.
