As The World Turns

Now that Russia has invaded Georgia I wonder if our American President is feeling deja vu. After seven years of the United States being the bully to the world it would seem as if Russia is now stealing a page out of the Bush/Cheney handbook.

Russia is justifying its aggression with the same type of lies the Bush Administration used to invade Iraq. The wilder the lie the more difficult it is to make any sense of it.

The world looked on in total disconcertment as the USA invaded Iraq. Now the same world, this time including the USA, is totally astounded by the foolish brashness of Russia invading Georgia. The statements coming out of Moscow sound so similar to the asinine statements our country made over the past years,

The United States has backed itself in to a corner. I suppose it was only a matter of time before a power that we couldn’t bully would use our tactics to protect their own interests. Remember this is a former State of the Soviet Union. It is not a country half way around the world. And wouldn’t you know it? There is talk about the oil that must cross Georgia from the Caspian to European markets.

BTW. Did anyone receive a crisis call at 3am? Voice mail or text? Eastern or Asian time?
