AHG!

Michael Neumann’s recent contribution at Counterpunch discusses the charge that Russia responded to the Georgian assault against South Ossetia in a “disproportionate” manner. Imagine that. The U.S. government, which responded to Iraq’s fictitious possession of WMD’s with a bombing campaign of “Shock and Awe”, accuses Russia of behaving in a disproportionate fashion! Wasn’t Saakashvelli’s initial bombardment of the South Ossetian capital Tskhinvali a “disproportionate response” to begin with? The double standard and sheer hypocrisy of the Republocrats is truly astounding.
