Bush will not waver in supporting Tbilisi

I agree 100%

Just think though, about how a US electorate will think about yet another war in a far away place, with only lip service support from closer allies.

Do you really think the EU are going to hang with the US in a war against Russia?
It's not gonna happen, if you think the Germans will go toe to toe with it's energy allies Russia, Europe's only hope for future energy supplies over an internal spat in small breakaway region of Georgia, you simply don't understand the make up of Europe my friend.

Angela Merkel is very quiet, it's for a reason, Germany alone has invested €20 billion in Russian gas pipelines alone, not to mention it's even bigger mega investments in Iranian processing plants.

The only reason Sarkozy is hanging out with Rice and talking loud, is because of the European Union rotating presidency, it's his job.

The fact is, this war is about the US encroaching into Europe, which makes Moscow nervous, and Russia wanting to preserve it's €Trillion business, it's got nothing whatsoever to do with the human rights, or political correctness in Georgia.
Bush doesn't give a toss,
Putin doesn't give a toss,
Merkel doesn't give a toss,
Sarkozy doesn't give a toss.

I don’t believe the US and Russia will go to war. I think Russia will pull back. But I’m pretty sure the American people would be damn irritated about fighting another war right away. We just won the last one! Haven’t even had the parade yet!
