"I hold here a paper signed by Mr. Putin ensuring there will be peace in our time!"

Obama out maneuvours the UN, EU and President Bush.

Too late, the Russians are halfway into the country.
The Georgian president is on television telling them to stay in their homes, that he loves them, and everything will be ok.
I am hearing from my friends there in email and they are terrified.

I AM SO ANGRY. Please forgive me. This is an invasion and nothing less. The Georgians are kind and good people. The world will stand by and watch this happen? The Poles will come out soon to their aid. Where are the Ukrainians?

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.

I don’t want bush or Cheney anywhere near there. Imagine if the President was in Tbilisi and somehow the Russians snatched him for what they call war crimes.

Is the President on yet? I’m trying to find a radio station carrying the speech.

CNN speculates that Bush’s tough talk is because the Bush Admin has information that more is going on in the region (ie, Russia is escalating).

I just re-listened to the statement via aphid's link in post #283.

I am surprised that the news media are not all over this. There was a gaffe. I thought I heard it during the live feed. Re-listening, I did hear it...
Bush: "...now it appears that an effort may be underway to depose Russia's duly elected government..."
I am sure President Bush meant to say "...depose Georgia's duly elected government..."

CNN says Obama issued a statement and “is sounding more like John McCain” regarding this crisis.

[LOL. Apparently, Obama’s people gave him a fast Cliff-notes tutorial on Georgian-Russian relations.]

Fairly terse statement...wonder how we’ll respond moving forward.
