[Repeal The 17th]

“There is nothing Bush can do
to force Russia to back down
short of launching a pre-emptive nuclear strike.”

You say we will either:
1) do nothing; or 2) use atomic weapons.
I say you are wrong. We will do “something”
and it will not involve atomic weapons.
Time will tell which one of us is right.

Don't twist my words. I did not say that we would use nuclear weapons. And I did not say that we would 'do nothing'.

At this late stage of the game, and the game is over so far as Georgia is concerned, the Russians are in complete control of the skies over Georgia as I read it, their ground forces have all but pushed the Georgian military to the point of collapse and the Georgian political leadership has been reduced to cowering in the streets with security people piling flak jackets on top of them, that isn't going to inspire much confidence in the civilian population.

Look at it this way FRiend, if for any reason, the United States decided to launch an invasion of New Brunswick, we would most likely complete that operation inside of 14 days, and just what in Hell could Putin (or anybody else) do about it?

The geographical parallel is right in front of us with Russia moving on Georgia.

Do I like it? Of course not. But tell us what you think Bush can do that will actually induce Putin to back off, eh?

I'd like to hear it.
