Senator John McCain may have overstated things a bit when, shortly after the war started, he said, “We are all Georgians now.” But apparently even rank-and-file Russian soldiers view the Georgians and Americans as allies. Likewise, these simple Georgian country women seem to understand who their friends and enemies are. “I am very thankful to the West,” Maya said as her eyes welled up with tears. “They support us so much. We thought we were alone. I am so thankful for the support we have from the United States and from the West. The support is very important for us.” She tried hard to maintain her dignity and not cry in front of me, a foreign reporter in fresh clothes and carrying an expensive camera. “The West saved the capital. They were moving to Tbilisi. There was one night that was very dangerous. The Russian tanks were very close to the capital. I don’t know what happened, but they moved the tanks back.” And my translator, whose husband works for Georgia’s ministry of foreign affairs, made a similar guess that the West helped save the capital. “The night they came close to Tbilisi,” she said, “Bush and McCain made their strongest speeches yet. The Russians seemed to back down. Bush and McCain have been very good for us.”

yeah, but the MSM here has been telling us the war was Bush and McCain's fault from the beginning and that Obama was in fact the one who Russia back downed from.

According to Vito, the West doesnt give a shit, and Germany will never support Georgia getting into NATO.

I'm glad they feel that way.

I think we should have given them more support.

I would have put the Air Force in country and controlled the airspace with a Carrier group off shore, provided Turkey would let them through.

What do you expect from apologists? Russia had EVERY right to invade a nation that wasn't bothering it.

That's about right.

They've been sucking on the gas teat of the USSR/Russian Federation so long that they cannot see the forrest through the trees.

Most of Europe was scared of the Russians back in the 80s, as well. The one constant (at least since WW2) has been the weakness of western europe.

Interesting too bad the MSM would never allow that story to be shown.

Que?  Georgia ain't land locked, and Turkey doesn't get to dictate who gets into the Black Sea.

I know Georgia isn't land locked.  And yes Turkey DOES control who gets in and out of the Black Sea.

Air Force controls airspace.  Carrier group off shore to keep the Russian Navy in check and to back up the AF.

They're pro American because they have Russia's knife at their throat. We are their only salvation, and so far we haven't done much.
