A big bloody great Torch! On the roof!

Oh, wait... that's a Russian Tank firing into a foreign country... oh damn.

For people who are into the hilarious goings on of the dumb political world, a wonderful shot today during the BBC's Olympics coverage of a suddenly confused and worried President Bush in the deafening "birds nest" trying to get Vladimir Putin to come over and take interest in what he had to say - probably the exact moment he heard about the Russian and Georgian conflict.

Thing is, he's probably only annoyed because the Georgians are taking troops out of Iraq to help out the ones at home. "Come on guys, THIS IS YOUR HOME NOW!"

Seriously... I wonder what the big deal is over a tiny pseudo country in the middle of nowhere. It can't possibly be that an enormously important pipeline taking energy to the West goes through there can it?

Sometimes things are so transparent its just a joke. Russia is in an absurdly dominant military position over the Georgians so the only way the Georgians have a hope in hell is if the West back em up! But how far is the west going to go? Not far enough to keep Georgia in possession of South Ossetia. Nice political move, Mr Putin. You've clearly played the board game Diplomacy in your childhood.

I'll post a less acidic entry when I can think of something...

Good game, diplomacy, by the way. Look it up.
