    “Russia invaded Georgia”

    For all practical intents and purposes, I don’t think South Ossetia should be considered part of Georgia.

    Really, it’s astounding

    Georgia’s president has announced that his country is being attacked by Russian tanks and planes. “Russian troops invaded Georgia. . . all day today they’ve been bombing Georgia from numerous warplanes and specifically targeting (the) civilian population, and we have scores of wounded and dead among (the) civilian population all around the country.”

    And what’s CNN focusing on.

    …. John Edwards sticking his dick someplace it didn’t belong.
