How to Celebrate the 2008 Olympics Idea #1: Start a War

There's no better way to celebrate the start of the Olympics than by sneaking in a war. No one's looking. Everyone is entranced with Michael Phelps. He knows like 5 words in Mandarin. That's adorable. So Georgia, you go on the offensive! Take South Ossetia, girl friend!

YahooNews: Georgian troops launched a major military offensive Friday to regain control over the breakaway province of South Ossetia, prompting a furious response from Russia — which vowed retaliation and sent a column of tanks into the region. Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has warned that the Georgian attack will draw retaliation and the Defense Ministry pledged to protect South Ossetians, most of whom have Russian citizenship.

Yeah...not good.

What is Misha thinking.

/sigh

After all the cash and money Georgia has received from the US in military aid, this is what they do with it?
