Something tells me Bush’s stay in Beijing will be shortened.

Since Putin is in China as well, there may be some agreement here.

Since the problem is most likely Islamic in nature, and probably Iranian backed...I don’t necessarily see this as a big deal.

Maybe I’m wrong and if somebody knows different I would appreciate the info.

Why aren’t we threatening the Russians to back off in order to protect our Georgian friends?

Maybe we want the Russians to focus on Georgia while the Chinese are busy with the Olympics so we can sanction (blockade) Iran.

Weird how this broke just as the opening ceremonies began in Beijing.

I got a feeling GW is getting a lot of calls on his phone right now.

Will be interesting when the ceremonies are shown tonight and see what his is doing.

Now more than ever he should call Congress back in session and return; because of this new military invasion, not to mention the energy crisis.

America is watching President Bush...

anybody know where a guy can get six feet of concrete radiation shielding

First off, MOVE, you're in occupied territory my FRiend!
Second, you really dont need that much concrete shielding. You'd be surprised how little reinforced concrete shielding you would actually need to protect you from radiation. Prolly about 6 inches but of course, that wont withstand the blast.

And where’s the UN in all of this?

Another “statement” released, as predictable as the summer sun. Get the UN off US land.

Hey, anybody know where a guy can get six feet of concrete radiation shielding in a San Francisco on a Friday - quick?

I believe 1 “ thick solid layer of plain old polyethylene will do the trick for you instead of the concrete.

do you drink lots of milk?

This is Russia taking back Georgia.

The FSB (KGB) stirs up a revolt using Islamic seperatists, the Georgian’s respond and nmow the Russians kick in the door and take back a former Soviet Republic.

Actually, I figure this is about the safest place in the country. After all, all of their friends are here.

Truth be told, if things really started to get hairy I'd be up in Siskiyou County before the Republic of Jefferson could blow the passes over Mt. Shasta and establish border controls.

If we don't stop Vlad here he will be sending troops to all the former soviet states. You are wrong in your analysis of the situation. Georgia is a sovereign state with real borders that Russia has “appropriated” territory from by supporting the separatists.
