Putin has some 'splaining to do

DateMonday, September 1, 2008 at 2:34AM

ARTICLE: Putin accuses U.S. of orchestrating Georgian war, By Matthew Chance, CNN, August 28, 2008

Per State's "two czars" thesis: Putin has some explaining--and blaming--to do now.

Looking less noble and infinitely less impressive by the minute--except to our Big War crowd that still thank God for such manna.

(Thanks: JFRiley)

If you think Putin looks less impressive wait till word about his Tiger tranquing escapades permeate the strategic thinks tankery of the world. Then things will change. Fairfax carried this AAP story this morning and I’ve been smiling ever since.

If our election gets dull, perhaps HPNs ( Huff & Puff Networks) will spend a lot of time with Putin and his PR folks.

I can't wait to read Condi's comments when they finally get declassified.;-)
