    <title>So, Georgia moves to retake South Ossetia.</title>
    <summary><![CDATA[The Russians are annoyed.&nbsp; Georgians shell Russian peace-keepers, Russians send air strikes against the Georgians (two acft down, so Georgia claims) and Russian tanks are reputedly moving in.

MajMike(R) sez:&nbsp;&quot;Guidons, Guidons, Guidons...&nbsp; don't pack away your Cold Warrior gear just yet...&quot;

Bill counters - &quot;There's already a Russian tank column inside South Ossetsia and Georgia claimed to have shot down two Soviet Russian aircraft attacking Georgian positions.&quot;

&quot;This could get interesting.&quot;

&quot;This could get interesting.&quot;

Reminds me of a Chinese curse... &quot;May you live in interesting times.&quot;

I'm too busy trying to finish up the report and get to the airport - discuss amongst yourselves.

Update:&nbsp; Noah Schachtman sends:&nbsp;Did US&nbsp;Prep Georgia for war with Russia?]]></summary>

        <![CDATA[@MajMike(R), GREAT&nbsp;POINT! This region of&nbsp;&nbsp;the World will never be settled. This is the reason I've always advocated a full spectrum approach towards weapons systems. We need to remember, if we choose option &quot;A&quot;, our adversary will choose option &quot;B&quot;.<br />
<br />
There is just one second point, our Military plate is FULL. But in some ways, it best for the ;Nation. It will give us time to design the new approach for &quot;National security and Homeland Security&quot;. We all need to be involved.]]>

        <![CDATA[What if ....... this is a diversionary action covertly fomented by the US to take advantage of&nbsp;Putin's militaristic and imperialistic tendencies, thereby keeping him and Russia&nbsp;otherwise occupied while plans proceed vis-a-vis Israel-Iran?<br />

That clock is still ticking, and this could delay the delivery of that new Russian AA system to Iran.<br />
