I agree eastforker. In addition the most interested third party is the Chicoms. Don't be surprised if there is a staged event masquerading as happenstance involving Taiwan in the very near future. The Chicoms are a brilliant, methodical and ultimate sacrifice people whose fanaticism is second only to the radical Islamists. And that ranking is predicated on the fact that the Chicoms would just as soon kill you over 5 years as opposed to a quick Islamic beheading.

I can think of no other reason to stage this now, just before the election.I also think this is a huge test of our fortitude and international standing. I guess it is good that I am not commander in chief. If it was me, I would sink every ship in the black sea fleet, send missles to every tank position in Georgia and then bomb the tunnel going through the mountains so they would be trapped like a rat as our guys took care of business, but thats just me.
