Here's a little humor.

Vladimir Voronkov, Russia's top delegate to the Vienna-based body, denied any Russian military involvement, saying that just 500 Russian peacekeepers were in the province.

Raw footage, the first part shows the crash of an unidentified aircraft ... could be Russian, could be Georgian

The only thing I have against the Serbs is that they did a piss poor job. Islam Delenda Est! (To paraphrase Marcus Cato).

Bad bad bad.........nothing good will come of this !

On a scale of 1-10 this is an 8+ IMO .

Georgia was supposed to join NATO in the near future.

How?

NATO is basically the US Military with some extra battalions. We are spread so thin right now, it would take a month or two just to begin mobilization for confronting Russia.

Meanwhile, they have forces near enough Europe and even Alaska to cause real havoc.

I suspect the Chinese are ticked. These two weeks were supposed to be their big show.

Typical Soviet Shoving Match.

Would have replied earlier but was off to my last day of the week at hard labor.

Guess the Neo Sovs caught the US and China preoccupied with the 8/8/08 start of the Beijing Olympics. Heard there was an emergency session of the UN Security Council at 10:00 this morning EDST. Lotta good that'll do....since the only fully briefed member will be the Neo Soviets.

Now to put to rest the Pizza Issue.....the only pizza makers in the US that are worthy of patronage are in NY.....and they aren't franchises.

You are probably right...
That’s a bad joke from RUSSIA which feigns to support OSSETIA independency to weaken GEORGIA dividing it and trying to control pipe-lines and Georgian oil...

That’s how i understand the situation....

Neo Sovs sounds great.

Our DIL would agree with you on this important pizza announcement: “Now to put to rest the Pizza Issue.....the only pizza makers in the US that are worthy of patronage are in NY.....and they aren’t franchises.”

So there are at least two of you who agree on the NY pizzas. Her husband, BIL, MIL, two children and me prefer the good California pizzas.

Will you be picketing, Obama the Oreo, with a large blown up copy of his forged COLB certificate.

The footage shows the remains of an Su-25 Frogfoot. The canopy is the identifying feature. It looks likely that the Russian peacekeeping forces already in South Ossetia brought the Georgian Frogfoot down.
