Would someone mind explaining the concensus position that a military solution is off the table. I’ve heard the arguements about the problems getting material into the area, but I can’t imagine we wouldn’t be able to obtain Turkey’s consent. They have almost as much to lose as anyone. Why couldn’t the President state that Russia needs to be out of Georgia completely in 72 hours or we start hitting their positions. What’s the likihood that Russia would be willing to enlarge a limited engagement on Georgian territory? The chances seem extremely small and the message from the US to its friends and those countries considering whether it would be beneficial to develop a friendship would be clear.
