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.

  2. 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?

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