I understand folks need to vent –cjm admits it –but i have to agree, we want to win, and can’t let anger become our mental destination. Genocidal talk even tho it’s just venting is pretty rough –personally it makes me recoil a bit i have to admit.

Our stance ought to be, those folks need a system change.

This isn’t a relapse after post-USSR freedom –Yeltsin never had a chance, what with the Dixie mafia running the USA gov’t that he needed leadership from –USSR just went outside for a quick smoke and came back in with its shirt on inside out. Tony Soprano goes straight, the cops on his case drift off elesewhere, Tony has his freedom back.

anyhoo, I’m worried that we might be following Putin’s script in Georgia. Putin’s actions have been a little too pat. The cease fire hadn’t drawn enough Americans into theater yet so he violates it with a few flying columns raiding for no tactical reason that anywhere near matches the gravity of Big Lie #2 to Bush –the telling of which finally did get the ball rolling of Amis streaming into theater. And the maurauding militias –what? He announced them way back when, with that ‘might not can control them’ statement. Ok, he brought them in, he turned them loose. They’re there for a reason. Is it to terrorize Georgians? Seems so –but look at the cost/benefit of that, for Putin. High cost, no benefit. And this outcome was easy for him to predict. Yet, he did it anyway. What’s he up to?

Look at Bobal’s ‘brainwashed’ link above, and read the last para –the oblique threat that the writer closed with.

I hope we’re staying sharp –
