What did Savage say?

I can’t find a transcript, so from memory:

–After first admitting he didn’t know beans about the situation, the master analyst went on to say Bush unilaterly invaded Iraq, under false pretenses, because there were no WMD, yadda, yadda, yadda… (implication being, I guess, we have little moral basis to complain about the Russian incursion–completely missing THE moral basis in the one case and the mere pretense of one in the other)

–Russia was severely provoked (and presumably shouldn’t be judged harshly)

–Since Kosovo was allowed to seccede then why not, tit for tat, shouldn’t S. Ossetia?

All proclaimed in a blustery tone of omniscience.

Suffice to say I like Hanson’s take better.
