You have been posting pro Putin and pro Commie ever since.

Opposing Clinton's Balkans policies and misuse of NATO in an illegal war against Yugoslavia was hardly pro Communist. If you supported Clinton's actions, I would think DU or KOS might fit you better. The vast majority of Republicans, at least in the House, opposed the "war".

Here and here are two Republican Senate position papers on the Balkans. Since then, John Schindler's book Unholy Terror expands on the problens Clinton caused us. Bush's recognition of Kosovo was to bear biter fruit.

As far as Georgia goes, I believe Saakashvili is a fool that tried to drag us into his war. I've used the term "Russian trap" that he fell into. However, since then I've run across a pundit who observed it is hardly a trap when everyone knows about it. It was was like a flashing sign...

DANGER HIGH VOLTAGE

But Saakashvili had to climb the fence and try to drag us along. Saying things like... U.S. to take control of Georgian ports: Saakashvili.

The Fourth of July, American independence, two top American officials, heady stuff for Saakashvili in Dubrovnik; old Ragusa and Lord Byron; but there is more in the air, this is Croatia... Knin, Operacija Oluja... US support.

But he's told that he is not in NATO. If he get's into it, he's in it by himself. "Nobody's coming. There is no cavalry." If that wasn't bad enough, the other official nails him to the wall...

"... I pointed out that Georgia hasn't won a war against anybody for 2,000 years." "Let's not kid ourselves. You're not Chechens."

A direct insult to romantic Georgian manhood! Tskhinvali would be his Knin, this would be his Operation Storm, the US would have to come to his aid!

Now wait a minute. If Kosovo was an illegal war, then what is Georgia? If you are opposed to illegal wars, then you need to be consistent. If you are not, then your opposition to the Kosovo war is based on something else.
