Jeff I think the party is over...Georgia will fall before Friday....Tbilisi probably falls Tuesday or Wednesday.

I sadly must agree with you Dog. The cavalry is NOT going to be riding to the rescue this time.

If we are making predictions, I believe that we all will be shocked at what will happen. I believe there are some chess moves to be played that none of us can predict. I don’t believe Georgia will fall. This is just a gut feeling, but there is just something about this that doesn’t seem good for Russia and I don’t believe the world will let a new Soviet-esque superpower rise again.

The calvary has nearly been rode to death since 1990 and no one has stopped to let it rest much less seriously replenish it for it's future needs. Meaning this that we're already stretched too thin with what we have left {conventional} to do with including ground troops.

Poor leadership in both the white house and the congress for the past 20 years has destroyed almost all of the Reagan Legacy. It wasn't just the DEMs the GOP held the white house for 12 of these years and both houses for what 10-12 years? The Bush's, Clinton, ones like Warner and others all had their part. Not even Carter screwed things up this bad military and foreign policy wise but he only had one term thankfully.

Our leaders took a very foolish gamble beginning under Poppy and Sec of Defense Cheney by beginning the gutting of our national defense to the bone. This was compounded then by going to extended long term war in two nations at once while still not building it back up. Putin saw it coming and planned for it. Worse part is no help is on the way no matter how the election goes as far as our national defense and foreign policy is concerned.
