So, Cloghaun, you are in command of NATO. Are you really saying you'd authorize military action to remove troops from Georgia? How much of the U.S. do you think would even support that type of action?
And Soldier, Poland didn't decide to roll its army into disputed territory held by the Russians and Germans. Georgia is clearly at fault here. 16 years of relative ceasefire turns into war because their idiot President decides to flex his muscle.
The U.S. and NATO have a responsibility to exercise common sense in who they admit and how they exercise their power. Admitting Georgia at this time serves no purpose other than to increase the threat to our national security - I would not be in favor of admitting a state that exercised such poor judgement. Just as an attack on one is an attack on all in NATO, so easily can it be that the poor judgement of one is the poor judgement of all.
And where were your cries of outrage and for intervention when the Pakistani military displaced the rightfully elected civilian government in Pakistan?
I am not sympathetic to the Georgians plight. It is of their own creation. They could have accomplished all their security goals through common sense and diplomacy and instead chose force.
