Bush Orders Military to Deliver Aid to Georgia

Dowly · 08-13-08, 02:08 PM

We know, and there's a thread about the situation of/in Georgia just one thread below this (After I post this, prolly 2 threads down).

while the idea of humanitarian aid is laudable, I have to agree with Subman that this has the potential of going bad real fast.

This is the time for careful and complete thinking.. but when did we ever get that from a politician?

Well, guys, they can't send civilians... then there would be accusations of covert ops...

It's okey to start a new thread about the same thing, when the other thread is many pages and very immense to read.

now back to the thread

is it 100% pure aid in those deliveries?

it's a good way to get wapeon to the Georgian military a.s.o

What a waste

We can't afford this crap, as noble as it may be.

Yeah. The Georgian military needs more weapons and ammo so it can start shelling civilian centers again!

NATO's reaction to this whole crisis has been nothing short of comical. Georgia starts shelling cities causing thousands of casualties. Russia tells them to get bent, they run under NATO's skirt and scream the big bad Russians are being mean to them. Nobody in NATO ever bothered to ask why of course.

Cripes, from the frying pan into the fat!

The Russians may see this as a coverup to the supply of weapons, or an excuse for the US to move troops in, sheesh, deliver aid yes, but by Nato or some close neighbour!

This is getting a little scary IMO!

Were are these thousands of dead? Why havent the Russians let international observers to see them?
The ones being killed are the Georgians trapped inside Ossetia.

Georgia really needs military assistance to build up force that can defend the whole country. Geography is on their side so a 500.000 strong well trained force would prevent this from hapening ever again. They must realise that they cant rely on outside help, you cant never trust at the end anyone but yourself. They should consult the Israelis for whom they have close ties, they helped to create the Singapore defence forces also. IMO Finland also should help, as it did with Estonia. Small countries with big neighbours can only go with concription and total defence with everything in society prepared for it.

You could have left out the careful and complete part, we're lucky if they're even equipped for thinking
