i’m sure. things are going better for russia than georgia.
meanwhile, folks are having fun in beijing.
Where are the street protests about this illegal war?
Hate to state the obvious, but why would they accept a cease fire? They are winning.
Bring it on!
that’s funny!
where’s code pink when you need them?
Code pink? rooting for the Russians of course
I mean, Putin didn’t get authority from the UN, the Soviet..,um, I mean Russian government never gave him a declaration of war, there weren’t high level negotiations. Heck! Jimmy Carter didn’t even get called in to talk it over.
Who does Putin think he is?
Maybe Cindy Sheehan can go camp out near Putin’s vacation home for a month and get people to see how illegal this war is.
I’d be curious to know what GWB thinks about Putin’s soul now...
What kind of stupid remark is that? Did you ever think that the Putin bush knew then is not the Putin of today? Sheese. Lunatic.
Because its the Russians, the UN will be even more worthless than usual. Any attempt at official condemnations or sanctions will be blocked by the Chinese.
It appears many in the international community are still trying to just come to grips with what Russia has just pulled.

I wouldn't be too sure about that. China must be mega-pissed at Russia right now. The Olympics are down below the fold in most major newspapers and that is definitely not going to go down well in Beijing.
This is supposed to be their week in the sun and Moscow is raining on their parade.
hmmmm...I’m betting that Putin and the boys are believing CNN and think Obama is going to be the next prez. Methinks they have started the party a little early...
CNN reporting Putin will make a brief statement on the escalating conflict after the Olympic speed-walking competition between Mongolia and Zimbabwa.
Bush is currently attending the lawn dart competition, and had no comment as he entered the event.
The Russian agitprop networks are in full swing....
If Russia rejects talks to end the conflict for another 20 hours, the oil futures market will skyrocket, which will mean Russia will make more profits every day the war continues, compared to the expenses in operating the war.
Not a Big surprise....Putin wants that pipeline shutdown....
