Just saw Bush condemning Russia and possibly having Russia's government opposed by the United States. I was at the gym and only caught a snippet...did anyone listen to the whole speech?

Yeah, civilised countries don't invade other countries.

He must know now where Georgia is - where someone has thrown a hand grenade at him http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_Arutyunian

Seriously speaking, Bush's hands are tight and his words are entirely for his own consumption. I gather italians or chinese would have a much greater leverage on Putin nowadays. It would be useful if they have said something.

I heard that that only goes for European countries...

A bit of a double standard considering British and Dutch forces are also involved in Iraq and afghanistan.

I was watching the Olympics at like 2:30 last night when he was being interviewed on the set where they discuss the olympic events and they said "we noticed you talking to Mr. Putin at the xxxxx event (don't remember what event), what did you say to him?" and Bush said he condemned Russia for invading...etc

Bush better not go to war with Russia...

Excluding all date prior to, and including the first half of the 20th century. Oh, and all of the proxy wars fought on behalf of the civilized countries.

Surely you meant to say his hands are tied and not "tight".

As we all know that's what he meant, why bother being a pedantic arse?

I was making a joke. Bush condemning Russia for invading is very hypocritical.
