All is truth-loud and clear! I like to point what horror can bring to the world - only one man-abnormal himself,undemocratic and with complete wrong policy in order to rule and remain in power. After killing so many inorcent people last year at 3AM in theirs beds-his place is in prison so the justice can be done ,and law uphold..I also like to say to the Georgian people-yours ONLY enemy always was and is still today Shaakashvili ,and not Russia (they indeed, been force to act.)witch at the first place give you state and freedom (history tells'). A fact that you are today as nation on the world map ,thanks to Russia,you shall never ever forget ....What a one man can do?!

Saakashvili... what an idiot. Why is this looser still in power? What is wrong with the Georgian people..? Come on!? Get this guy off his chair, it's one year wasted already. US testing Russia's response? Well, yes, partly. And the Russian response was messy, I think we can say. But what does that matter? It was successful. And success is success. Also a very good exercise for them, to improve on. More important; who loose all their credibility, integrity and respect, in the global opinion? The US.. The desperate actions of loosing their super power monopoly. It's all downhill from here.

The U.S. as usual got a New York lawyer named Mikheil Saakashvili to Georgia and become its president. Old story over again. In 1954 the U.S.got New Jersey lawyer Ngo Dnh Dien to return to Viet Nam (South) and become its president. When Diem refused to take orders from the Kennedy administration they had assassinated in early November 1963. So there really was no choice for Mikheil Saakasvli, if he refused to do the bidding of President George W. Bush he would be killed as was Diem of Viet Nam. Remember that the U.S. has been in the assassination game since World War II. Remember the assassination of General Sikorsky in Gibraltar in 1944? He refused to listen to them and the U.S. had him killed by mere accident. Another man in the same position as the above two right now is Colombian puppet president Alvaro Uribe Velez. If Uribe does not allow U.S. bases in Colombia, he will get bumped off, because he cannot deny his Yanqui masters their wish. All certainly is not going well for the Obama administration right now and they want a victory, and any victory will do for a start. In Latin America a NEW war is about to begin, that is why U.S. troops will be based in Colombia. Having lost in Afghanistan and Iraq, means a new offensive is needed in Latin America by the U.S. Watch out Latinos and the rest of the world, the American Buzzard (Vulture) is again hungry and needs more carrion to feed off, so WAR is necessary.

Saakashvili has been a disaster for Georgia ever since he took office. His arrogance was fueled by his illusionary "close relationship with Bush", and he lost all sight of reality (consequences) when he began to burn his bridges with Russia. I sure would like to know what the CIA profile of Saakashvili says.

Poor delusional Saakashvili. He has got a ravenous American wolf by the ears and dares not to let go. The Russia bear is watching and waiting to satisfy his appetite once Saakashvili's dance of insanity with the US ends.
