Don't Drop the Ball

While people have been paying a lot of attention to the aftermath of this war, another war keeps simmering along at a low heat. Despite the bravado of John McBush, there are a shitload of things that can go very wrong, very fast, in Iraq.

I think that one of the problems in Georgia is that the neo-cons are looking at the wrong analogies. They keep babbling on about the Sudetenland and Hungary `56 and Czechoslovakia `68 as analogies for the Russo-Georgian conflict.

First off, they ought to stop talking about Czechoslovakia, for every time they do, McCain gets confused. He thinks that country still exists.

Second, the analogy is flawed. The more fitting analogy is 1919, for the Georgians started a war and they lost. Now, just like the Germans did after the Treaty of Versailles, the Georgians, especially that Bush-grade idiot Saakashvili, are running their mouths about no, they didn't lose the war, they were betrayed by outside and sinister forces.

One BBC video here.

A second one:



(I have no idea if that second video is accurate, it is a YouTube video and could have been faked.)

The most accurate comment was made on Pravda: "US President Bush does not even think to stop making ridiculous statements regarding the conflict."

They could have really nailed the truth of Bush by leaving off the words "regarding the conflict."
