Cheney in Georgia.

From the International Herald Tribune (complete with commentary saying this may not be a good idea, given Cheney's past 'just words').

Vice President Cheney went to Georgia in person to pledge support for rebuilding

...

I would have thought we would help to rebuild AFTER Russia GTFO but I only have as much foreign policy experience as Barry Obama, so what do I know?

So we're going to give Georgia $1B. Any predictions on how much of that is stolen by the russians at their checkpoints?

By the way, if we as a nation could have mustered the political will to get our own natural resources instead of sucking on Russia's teat for the last few decades, we would be in a position to stomp on their balls and throw a few missiles when somebody invades our strategic allies. As it is, we are reduced to saying Pretty Please, with a stern frown on our face. Good job, socialists environmentalists.
