“Pootie” AND MANY of his buddies have big Swiss bank accounts. “Pootie” has a couple of HUGE Swiss bank accounts! Is it time for a probe? NATO countries need to announce the construction of a couple of new gas and oil pipelines through Georgia. The pipelines should be state owned, privately run and NATO protected! The removal of Russia from the G-8, making it the original G-7 would be a very good move and restrict or at least make it a lot more difficult for Russia to attract more foreign investment. Add to that, no WTO membership for years and NO SOCHI WINTER OLYMPICS IN 2014 and Russia will be a very unhappy place in a short time

Cool, let's imagine also Russia, cutting the supplies of the natural gas to all of Europe in return, with the G-7 reduced to G-0 in no time. No gas-supply Marchall's plan this time.
So, forget it. The Pandora's box had been opened with NATO-US military follies in Kosovo, enthusiastically aided by the european socialist apparatchiks. One eats, what one cooked, they say.

Sounds like a good response to me. Don't like the 'hesitation' I hear, when Georgia's entry into NATO is 'hedged' in a response as to 'when/how long. . .'. And as well, the same 'heavy breathing' that adds space to the strained answers to question of 'what are best options here for responding to Russia' that we have thus far, heard from too many speaking on behalf of committed Democracies.

And so far, on America's behalf; we have the 'sound of fury'. . .and hoping there are fever-pitch efforts going on; to back it up.
