Too late. It appears that Russia has completely outsmarted US, and whatever precious time US had was spent by Bush enjoying Olympic Games with Putin, and StateDep officials making anonymous statements that Georgia was partially responsible. Short of direct confrontation b/w US and Russian troops (and likelyhood of that is 0), Georgia will inevitably fall in a few days. There are simply no other levers US can pull, otherwise Russia would have stopped at SO.
