Shedd gave me a talking-down when I suggested that our economic crisis might impact US military ambitions in Georgia a few weeks ago. But, I stand by my position. Still I'm suspicious that Biden has taken money from Georgia and he'll need to reciprecate...maybe not as much as McCain, though. Yet, the pro-Georgia U.S. PR battle looks to be going the other way.

It’s a bleed alright, but it is a government created crisis peddled by quasi government Freddie and Fannie in bed with Dodds, Franks and Obamas.
