Interesting developments...

I doubt that we know the whole story.
Espionage, Russian military headquarters, ambassadors, unnamed diplomatic source...apologies.
Sounds like a plot for a book or movie.

All we'll get HERE in anti-Russian propaganda. But, then, that's not new.
Somehow I also doubt if we will ever know the whole story.

But, then, who cares. We have plenty to deal with on THIS side of the world. That is, the November elections and the balance of power in Congress.

"The actions of the Georgian authorities are an insult to Russia. We will not tolerate such treatment. Russia must be respected, and the Georgians will have to apologize to Russia and Russian citizens."

And yet the Russians don't have to apologize to Georgia for forcing them into the Soviet Union? I see double standard there. The actions of Russia were an insult to Georgia, and forcing the Georgians into the CCCP is a lot worse than having some military base surrounded.

Give Georgia a few ICBM's so Russia knows an attack on Georgia means the end of Moscow and a few other major cities. Russia wants to screw us with Iran and Hugo Chavez. We can play that game as well.
