Fair question. We illegally invaded Iraq and killed hundreds of thousands for oil. Well, that deserves some clarification. It wasn’t for the oil, in general. It was for the big oil companies, so they can get to the oil… it’s a “my-bestest-buddies / for-profit / greed” thing.

Georgia declares state of war with Russia

TBLISI, Georgia (CNN) — Georgia declared a state of war Saturday as fierce battles with Russia military over the breakaway region of South Ossetia entered their second day.

Russia has launched a full-scale military invasion of Georgia, President Mikhail Saakashvili said during a brief news conference Saturday afternoon.

President George W. Bush is “deeply concerned.”

“We are dealing with absolutely criminal and crazy acts of irresponsible and reckless decision makers, which is on the ground producing dramatic and tragic consequences,” Saakashvili said.

Saakashvili compared the Russian invasion, which he called unprovoked, to the 1979 Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.
