Putin blames US for Georgia/Russian War

news.bbc.co.uk

Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has accused the US of provoking the conflict in Georgia, possibly for domestic election purposes.

Mr Putin told CNN US citizens were "in the area" during the conflict over South Ossetia and were "taking direct orders from their leaders".

He said his defence officials had told him the provocation was to benefit one of the US presidential candidates.

The White House dismissed the allegations as "not rational".

This would be crazy if it were true... I could see the U.S. being behind it but I don't know how it could possibly benefit a candidate .... what are your thoughts?
