"Throughout the segment, Jarrett refused to talk about anything except for Edwards’s affair:
ERBE: The American public have told pollsters, this political season they want substance. Both these candidates have expressed support for allowing Georgia into NATO. … We could have been on the verge of nuclear war. Those are the kinds of the things that the American public wants to see discussed.
JARRETT: Right. You know, but getting back to Edwards, during the Monica Lewinsky affair, Edwards absolutely ripped into Bill Clinton. "-

Wow...This reminded me of the telling front page of the Washington Times the day after Obama's historic speech in Germany. Washington Post, NYT and almost every other major paper in the country had the expected money shot (albeit from different camera angles) of Obama speaking in front of hundreds of thousands of Germans as far as the eye could see) above the fold. The Washington Times? Nada.

Probably many reason why Fox News would not want to talk about NeoCon puppets in Georgia.

A Dirty Adventure
Turns out the that Israelis have been supplying the US trained Georgian army with weapons.....
.... Hence, we now see a Georgian invasion of South Ossetia about a week after the Russian announcement of its natural gas agreements with Turkmenistan. The invasion of South Ossetia may well be a strong signal that the US prefers confrontation with the Russians over negotiating a new commercial relationship with the Iranians. In other words, it suggests that the US still sees war as the ultimate solution of its disagreements with them.
The invasion also suggests that the US is incapable of choosing an ally in the region, and persists in the hope that it can economically and militarily dominate both the Russians and the Iranians, and through them, just about every country in Central Asia. Such arrogance is likely to be ruinous for all involved. A dirty adventure, indeed.

Plucky little Georgia? No, the cold war reading won't wash
The clash between Russia and Georgia over South Ossetia has more in common with the Falklands war of 1982 than with a cold war crisis. Like Galtieri in 1982, Saakashvili faces a domestic economic crisis and public disillusionment and has used internal repression and external war to try to rally support.

Give the Foxies a break, they were just trying to confirm if Georgia was actually attacked by Russia.

They also wanted to make sure they had the correct distance of Ossetia from Atlanta.
For once, I applaud Fox for trying to do their due diligence.-

Thursday (or Friday) when this whole Georgia thing was started, i was beginning to think that the people who were bringing it up on the threads -- (I saw it on the Edwards' thread), because not only did there seem to be nothing posted here (this seems to be the first story I've seen ), but CNN, MSNBC and the networks were all talking about Edwards and Caycee and nothing about Georgia.

I saw Bush tonight on TV at the *******. He was talking about human rights.- really The man is not believable. It's almost like he doesn't give a crap about human rights, but he just brings it up because he knows it pisses someone off.
