NOT GOOD
Dreadful for a whole host of reasons. Now Russia’s emboldened and the EU is terrified. Poland, God bless her, stands tall.
Condi and Bush need to climb into holes over this. And, by the way, the whole of the European Union, should remember that old saying about, first they came for, etc. It very well WILL be them the next time russia decides to flex more muscle and ,apparently, it won’t be the US bailing them out next time—they better have a plan themselves.
And,
Officials say that these additional powers would expire as soon as a team of international monitors arrived to observe the ceasefire.
International monitors will be comprised and culled from which countries of the world? This is what the key is, IMHE.
The same idiots feel perfectly comfortable loudly condemning the “Russian aggressors” for war crimes.
So basically the Georgian military is scattering and letting its entire military be destroyed?
They are not fighting back? Not ambushing, blocking or trying to engage these armoured columns in any way.
NO IEDs, AT mines, roadblocks or RPG ambushes?
No delaying actions or defense of any sort?
They are abandoning all their hardware and bases and
folding like a cheap tent?
A “ceasefire” that is total occupation and surrender is no ceasefire, it is capitulation.
How can a “democracy” and it’s leader in that kind of predicament survive?
I support Georgia; just trying to figure out what is
really going on there and how this will end up.
Someone mentioned a few days ago we needed an ongoing live thread for new developments.
“Mr Saakashvili was humiliated further when the final text of the agreement, delivered personally by Condoleezza Rice, the US Secretary of State, removed a reference to Russian recognition of Georgias territorial integrity. It referred only to independence and sovereignty, a day after Ser-gei Lavrov, the Russian Foreign Minister, said that the world could forget about Georgias territorial integrity. “
It looks like the media WAS right when it stated that Rice forced the Georgians to accept Russian incursions into its territory anywhere and anytime.
Bush is a catastrophe and Rice is the executor of an idiotic and flawed foreign policy. Our credibility with Eastern Europe has been destroyed by Mr. Bush and we can look forward to more aggression in the future from Putin and pressure from dissidnet pro-Russian elements in all of Easstern Europe.
Great job Jorge!!! Maybe Mexico will be allowed to conduct military incursions into the U.S. next.
Come on, is this true? Seriously.
ping
Once they are there the Russian must leave.
Is Condi going to fly back and wave the agreement when she gets off the plane?
It's a check and not a checkmate. It isn't 'mastery' for an elephant to step on an ant. This guy gives Vlad too much credit.
