Looks like EVERYBODY is going to party!
Russia angered by Israeli drone sale to Georgia

TEL AVIV — Israel has acknowledged the sale of unmanned aerial vehicles and other Israeli security support to Georgia which has prompted complaints and threats from Moscow.
Officials said the Defense Ministry approved the sale of several tactical UAV systems to Georgia in 2007. They said Georgia has used the unidentified UAVs for border reconnaissance missions.

Georgia has credited Israeli military assistance after claiming the destruction of at least 11 Russian combat aircraft and 50 main battle tanks.
"Israel should be proud of its military, which trained Georgian soldiers," Georgian Reintegration Minister Temur Yakobshvili told Israel Army radio on Aug 10.

4. Lou Dobbs is Right for Once
Just said we need to back the hell out and let Europe deal with this. He thought we are "over reaching". While I normally DO NOT agree with the man - he's got this one right.

8. Dobbs has many valid observations
in his repertoire. Too bad the man is a xenophobic fruit cake, incapable of discussing immigration issues without descending into apoplexy and spraying the room with spittle.

World powers are still operating with a Cold War mentality. Georgia is no innocent here.
