Pre WWII being the key phrase. Churchill lead his nation this guy wants to be on the View.
Better to keep your mouth shut and let people think you a fool than open it and confirm their suspicions.~Anon.
Directed at Patrick1, not the President of the Republic of Georgia.
Why doesn’t he ask President Obe for help and publish the response?
Patty, Patty, Patty....this is a tried and tested manner of communication during this type situation. Don’t knock Misha. He is brilliant and knows what his country needs....you do not posess that knowledge.
Maybe you should become a TV “journalist”, having gotten just the right skills and intelligence for the job.
The Russians are just doing to the Georgians what we did to the Serbs 10 years ago for the Kosovars. The Kosovars just didn’t want to be part of Serbia and we helped. Thank Albright for setting the example.
I take it Ukraine never sent a naval blockade.
You must think this guy can win the war by op-ed. If that is true then maybe we should elect George Will President. This is 2008 not 1938 and there is no need to tell us what is going on the way Churchill did (again prior to WWII) we know what is happening.
I would think we would be more apt to support a President who is leading the fight instead of printing an op-ed in a paper that by evening is in the birdcage.
The Ukraine said they will block the Russians from using their territorial waters to wage a campaign on Georgia and have blocked Russian ships from using a port in the Crimea. Without sending troops this is about as much as they could do.
Poti is the name of the major oil port in Georgia and the Russians almost immediately blocked it with many ships.
Are you russian?

And, we have had tons of military in Georgia for many years. We are way past committed.
Ukraine says they have troops at the ready.

Damn... that was good!

Tbilisi is functioning as normal today.
It is his job to educate Americans, do poliitics, and fight Russian propoganda, not stand on a field somewhere and shoot a gun.
Sad that you continue to defend your statement. The fact is he is leading the fight where he can. He is a President,a politician, his job is diplomacy, policy and leadership. Not a soldier or General, he can’t strap on BDU’s and go gunnin’ down Russkies. He is speaking to allies and friends in a closed and open manner, he has spoken to his people and has appealed for help. THe man isn’t being some silly aloof brain dead idiot that is only writing op-eds like you want to pretend he is doing. You for some reason find it hard to comprehend that in this media driven age that a man who’s country is at war would dare take the time out of his schedule to appeal for moral and political help from people he considers to be his ally. You my friend are blind if you think what he is doing somehow morally wrong or politically inept and you sound like the wacky truthers who cried about how Bush sat and read a childrens book when the US came under attack. I feel shame for you.
Wake up and smell the coffee.
The Georgian army is tiny compared to the Soviets. Would you lead 3 cub scouts against the Sioux at Little Big Horn?
His only chance is to get the West to help his country.
And penning a piece for the DBM is going to help Georgia more than him riding a BMP into oblivion.
Drop it.
My money says they aren’t the only former satellite willing to send troops.
