The US ambassador to Georgia has made a statement regarding the involvement of the Georgian military contingent in the peace operation in Afghanistan. John Tefft said, the Georgian soldiers may deploy with the American, instead of the French soldiers. `There was the idea that the Georgian troops will deploy with the American troops in Afghanistan. It was discussed in the Defence Ministry in Washington, and I don`t still have a full report on this conversation`, the US ambassador said.

Isn’t this the country that got invaded by Russia recently? I hope this isn’t manipulation... drawing USA into the Georgian conflict.

No doubt. Putin knows this and has already been getting more aggressive since Bush left office, and will test Obama over this.

I pray, somehow, they can hold on.

I will tell you...during that crisis seeing the Presidents of the other free eastern European countries come there to stand with the Georgians warmed my heart.

They literally put there lives on the line on August 12th in the middle of the darkest part of that crisis...and I believe helped caused the Bear to back down.
