An interesting Thread.

I suppose the cynic in me would say that this 'spat' has more to do with Republican politics than Russia attempting to assert itself. The initial incursion by Russian forces probably did have the tacit approval of the Bush administration - with agendas met, it's now time for the politicians to take over; Georgian EU/NATO membership aspirations will be suspended TFN.

It is not in Russia's interests to further this conflict; its time will come.
