My thoughts on Georgia

The country (not the state that raised its sword against the Union and was justly burned to the ground, praise General Sherman!)...

Who believed George Bush was good at policy, anyway? If I were a Georgian (again, from the country of Georgia, not the prison colony), I would be feeling royally screwed right now. Here's why:

The U.S. military began flying 2,000 Georgian troops home from Iraq on Sunday, military officials said, after the Georgians recalled the soldiers following the outbreak of fighting with Russia in the breakaway province of South Ossetia.
...
"We want to thank them for the great support they've given the coalition and we wish them well," military spokesman Rear Adm. Patrick Driscoll said earlier Sunday at a news conference.


"Wish them well"?

Sounds like the "fuck you" letter we've all gotten from an employer at one time or another after being laid off around Christmas time without a Christmas bonus. In Michigan. Or Georgia (the "state" this time).

Help the US roll into a country, we'll let you call yourself part of the coalition of the willing. Your country gets invaded? Well, you see, our leader looked into Russia's leader's soul and all and...we can't get involved. That wouldn't be right.

Although, it does have a bright side. All it takes to get your country's troops sent home from Iraq is for your own country to get invaded.

Flying 2000 troops in? The surge is working!
