Bush Set to 'Punish' Russia For Invasion


www.cbsnews.com
(CBS/ AP) President Bush is poised to punish Moscow for its invasion of Georgia by canceling a once-celebrated deal for civilian nuclear cooperation between the U.S. and Russia.

With relations between the two nations in a nearly Cold Warlike freeze over Russia's actions against its neighbor last month, planning is under way at the White House for the largely symbolic move by Bush, according to senior administration officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the decision was not yet final. Action could come quickly, within days at the most, and officials see no need to wait until Vice President Dick Cheney returns next Wednesday from an overseas trip that includes stops in three former Soviet republics.

Just a high level political smokescreen to jusifiy Cheney's (Haliburton's) global advancement for strategically placed Military Bases and to secure neclear power construction contracts until 2050.

A masterminded exit strategy and leveraged by out rolled into one neat package.

im not so sure about usa/russia wont `duke it out` - i feel the USA believe they can win a nuclear war , with a massive first strike - the only real concern is the counter value weapons (rail and ground mobile)

i don't see there being a load of proxy wars this time around, it won't go nuke either, it'll simmer up until its a conventional, old fashioned war of attrition. it'll make WW1 pointlessness look like a well thought out strategy. it seems to me that it is in the interests of the elites of russia, the US, europe and china to keep a never ending war simmering.

the first cold war was quite effective at keeping people scared and pliant but the threat was slight, people had to be convinced the russians were just crazy enough to push the world over the edge. the US would've happily let that thing go on forever if the people of eastern europe hadn't woken up en-masse and toppled the ussr the way they did.

for a while there i thought the war on terror might be a good substitute but it seems the average american citizen finds it a little easier to break away from the views of the MSM these days. there seems to be an awful lot of people scratching their heads at bush's antics, better late than never i guess. so thats screwed a perpetual war on terror as a good avenue, it's all tarnished as a tool for fear.

being the imaginative bunch they are the PTB seem to be returning to the old enemy again. who knows, it might work out well for them if they can just get their soldiers out of the quagmire of iraq. they thought establishing a "green zone" might lead the terrorists into a stalemate but the scheming little towelheads won't just lie down and shut up so something else is going to have to be done..........if only that dumbass lawyer in georgia had held his horses until after obama had gotten the troops out it would have all gone so smooth, us sends troops to georgia, russia rolls tanks into tablisi and they face each other off in a good old stalemate, could've even had a nice new wall!!! could've had a check point cheney.

now it's going to be way more complicated....
