I shouldn’t try to type/spell before my first cup of coffee…

AKA the Typos protocol.

Meanwhile, when is a truce not a truce? When one side keeps shooting.
As usual the Bush administration has fumbled away an opportunity. Just like they fumbled away 1st Fallaujah and had to go back later and try to put Humpty Dumpty back together again, so will the USA have to go into Georgia to prop it up in the future at a much greater cost.
If we don’t the former Warsaw pact nations will not be so former anymore. I wonder if anyone at Foggy Bottom understands just what a bad thing that would be.
Meanwhile, the Soviet, errrr……Russian propaganda machine has been cranking out mountains of fecal matter on how Georgia is like Kosovo.
Not a molecule on how Georgia was dealing with it’s problem in south Goatherderolvia the same way the Soviet, err…. Russians dealt with Chechnya. It seems what is sauce for the goose is not sauce for the bear if you are a liberal editor of some sort of economically failing media rag.
It is a sad day when you have to depend on the National Enquirer for real journalism. Very Sad.
