You remember April Glaspie right? That April Glaspie. It could have been anybody, it might have been nobody, but no one would put it past Karl Rove to have actually been the one to have given the Georgians the green light to attack Ossetia.
But is there more to this story than first appears? Curious minds are pondering questions (see below for excerpt) which would normally be unthinkable except under a Bush Administration. The question appeared over on a message board that I’m not familiar with, but the question bears repeating in serious circles. As far as I’m concerned, just about anything is possible with an unchecked Bush Administration in power.
The Georgian president must be a near fool. He seemed full of panic in a recent interview. I felt sorry for him. Couldn’t help but wonder if April Glasby [sp] has been doing some moonlighting for the present Bush Administration? Look for Putin to give the Georgian president the Saddam Hussein (gallows) treatment if he does’t politely step down from power and leave the country. Some sages are wondering if “we” gave up Georgia in order to get the green light from Russia to attack Iran.
Could it be true? Is Iran next? If you're like me, you believe that the Bush Administration is capable of anything and dismissing such seemingly ludicrous questions doesn’t necessarily seem wise when you’re talking about two “soul mates”. At least the question ought to make the rounds in public discussions, just in case the Bush Administration is back doing things that it’s best known for.

It's hardly imaginable that Saakashvili would have embarked upon an otherwise suicidal attack on South Ossetia without Junior Bush's tacit understanding.
So, yes, Kuwait comes to mind.
Posted by: Peter on August 12, 2008 6:53 AMIs anyone else reminded of Africa? I see the dissolution of the Soviet Union as similar to the decolonization of Africa, in that the countries that emerge are so often a hodgepodge of peoples and ethnicities, and the borders so often divide people who feel they belong together. Plans and plots to reconfigure maps follow, and sometimes war follows, too.
