It really is. At what point did the Russians have the right to take an oil port and take Mtskheta. Putin is evil.

So by the time Bush begins his statement, the Russians won’t be coming, they’ll be in Tblisi.

If they’re smart, they’ll avoid occupation. Just encircle for now.

If Georgians are smart, they’ve prepared for and are already starting guerrilla insurgency operations against the Russians.

This little brush fire in Georgia reminds my of Hitler’s march into Alsace and Lorraine, then the Checks. Heaven help us

Ukraine will be Czechoslovakia.

My prayers are with the Georgians. The russians have time and again showed themselves to be less than human. Paranoid barbarians with an inferiority complex is all they are. They act like they know they true but are fed STATE run media which is an utter joke in the real world.Disgusting lot.This will change the worlds opinion against them. Time to crash their economy once and for all. I pray the Prez does something if not its time to rebuild our defenses.

Mar, you seem to be well informed on this issue.

Who gave the Russians the authority to be "peacekeepers" in that section of Georgia????

RE: “BREAKING: Jimma Carter will be went by the U.N. as a special envly to negotiate the surrender of Georgia by the Georgians.”

Dear God — is this correct? Horrors!
This is bad. I think I heard McCain quoted as saying when he looks at Putin he “sees KGB in his eyes.”

I would have to agree with McCain on that.

I have a lot of friends there and spent time there in 2005. I have a son adopted from there.
I love the Georgian people. They are my second family.
I cannot decide whether to cry or vomit.

It is my understanding that the Presidents or Poland, the Ukraine, Latvia, Estonia, and Lithuania are on their way (in person) to Tiblisi now to stand with the people of Georgia. God bless ‘em one and all. Very couragous men who know the score and the cost of inaction and who are apparently willing to lead from the front and risk all for freedom’s sake.

Putin’s always been a thug, a KGB thug. In fact, I believe I read that McCain says when he “looks at Putin he sees the KGB in Putin’s eyes.”

I don’t love McCain but he sure gets my vote in November.

I, too, called the White House Comment Line 202-456-1111 and had to wait an inordinate amount of time for a live operator.

I said Bush must act--no sanctions--how well that worked with Iraq--how well sanctions are working now with Iran--

And he must not tell us how he looked in Putin's eyes and saw his soul--

This is the time for action, not more of his "diplomacy"--

You have made my day. Thank you so much.

Fox says 170 Americans are evacuated from Georgia.

One thing that we underestimate and that is the fury of a people who have had a taste of freedom, only to have it taken away.

As opposed to people in the U.S. who can't imagine that happening here. I hope this serves as a warning to the West that a surprise attack could happen to any of us. We are no longer vigilant; just fat, lazy and obsessed with the latest fads and celebrities.

The WWII generation which understood these things is dying out.
