- I have to agree with the commenters below on Informed Comment. Obama is either being disingenuous or duplicitous on U.S. foreign policy regarding Russia.

"I just spoke separately with Secretary Rice and President Saakashvili about the grave crisis in Georgia. I told President Saakashvili that I was deeply concerned about the wellbeing of the people of Georgia.
"Over the last two days, Russia has escalated the crisis in Georgia through its clear and continued violation of Georgia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. On Friday, Aug. 8, Russian military forces invaded Georgia. I condemn Russia’s aggressive actions and reiterate my call for an immediate ceasefire. Russia must stop its bombing campaign, cease flights of Russian aircraft in Georgian airspace, and withdraw its ground forces from Georgia."
-- Barack Obama
[A disgraceful statement.]- and another commenter says:
- "Obama wanders the Middle East and Europe selling war in Afghanistan, and assorted attacks in Pakistan, while being incapable of understanding what has happened in Ossetia. What a disgrace."
