(Community Matters) Today’s Ben Sargent cartoon is eery, anyhow . .
Mikhail Gorbachev argues that Russia’s invasion of Georgia is the fault of Georgia for upsetting autonomy and mounting an unprovoked military attack against the South Ossetian capital of Tskhinvali.
Asmus & Holbrooke argue that Georgia was responding to repeated attacks from separatists funded and controlled by the Kremlin.
Bush is sending aid to Georgia and demanding withdraw of Russian troops. Does the pipeline constitute our national interest or is it European interests?
Impossible to know the truth about this event. Zero confidence in this administration to be forthcoming. Completely conflicting stories about Secretary Rice’s public and private messages when she was last in Georgia. Certainly not beneath this administration to spin a situation to serve their political (aka election) or economic interests.
