Sarko to the rescue

France brokered the ceasefire to end fighting over Georgia's Russian-backed breakaway province of South Ossetia which started on 7 August. The deal's terms are vague about the extent of any buffer zones, analysts say. A spokesman for the French foreign ministry, Eric Chevalier, said a United Nations Security Council resolution was needed to clarify exactly what the ceasefire agreement covers. Beautiful. Send back Sarko & Carla to hammer out a deal with Putin. The French are experts at this.

Going to have to airlift to Tbilisi now that Stalin is back.

So, seeing how all so carefully planned the whole thing has clearly been, the question is: How long has Putin had Georgia on his mind?

What's mine is mine, what's yours is negotiable, as Uncle Joe (himself from Gori) used to say.
