Yeah, and meanwhile America was flooding Vietnam with all kinds of
weaponry.

And this varies rom the "talking big, rattlin a rusty sabre, and then
turning on itself" side of the recent Georgian start of hostilities in
South Ossetia? Yeah, so funny how the president of Geogia doesn't
realize the heresy, and yes, prescience, of his words. So I'll run
them by you, as has been done elsewhere.

Emotional tirade
Even as Rice stood with Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili in a
show of solidarity, he asked, “Who invited the trouble here? Who
invited this arrogance here? Who invited these innocent deaths here?”
Shaky and near tears following a difficult, nearly five-hour meeting
with her, Saakashvili answered his own question: “Not only those
people who perpetrate them are responsible, but also those people who
failed to stop it.”
Rice let that pass, focusing instead on the demand that Moscow
immediately withdraw its forces.
“With this signature by Georgia, this must take place and take place
now,” she declared.

Notice how Saakashvili is into 'blame game' mode. He says those who
caused the problem should be made to answer. Failing to admit or
acknowledge it was HIM who caused it by Georgia invading South
Ossetia. Oh yes, Mr. Saakashvili, those responsible for this mess
will be called to task about it - starting with you! The chicken that
laid the egg.
It appears that Condoleeza Rice was none too happy - she actually
seemed to be embarrassed, by all accounts - with Saakashvili
indicating he was somehow stood up. It has been pointed out repeatedly
as this saga has continued to Saakashvili has been "all over the
place", saying all kinds of things, with some incongruities in his
renditions. Which has certainly not added to his resume any.... or
enhanced the reputations of any entity that may have put him up to it
and left him hanging - whether it be the US or any of the other ghoul
rogue states of NATO.
