Bush demands Russia get out of Georgia AP
"I can whip any man in the house." I feel so much more secure knowing this guy is in charge.

The administration and its allies are debating ways to punish Russia, including expelling Moscow from an exclusive club of wealthy nations — the G-7 — and canceling an upcoming joint NATO-Russia military exercise. Whitman said the U.S. will be reviewing other military-to-military cooperative programs with Russia as well.

But it has become increasingly clear that the West may have little leverage to influence Moscow's decisions. Bush held out no specific punishment.

"Russia has sought to integrate into the diplomatic, political, economic, and security structures of the 21st century. The United States has supported those efforts," he said. "Now Russia is putting its aspirations at risk by taking actions in Georgia that are inconsistent with the principles of those institutions."

1. he Demands Russia to get out???
how about Bush getting out of Iraq, we have no credibility no more. And maybe this is what the Bush regime wants Iraq oil, Afghanistan oil pipeline and now the Caucasus region, it is all about the oil, and forget about who lives there.
