Question

Did Russia take advantage of President Bush attending the Olympics to invade Georgia?

Answer 1

Not really!  In fact, President Bush and Premier Putin (former Russian President) had a chat in Beijing when Putin had reportedly told Bush 'You know what's in store with all your plans for your so-called missile shield and an attack on Iran! Better watch out - the Russian bear is very much alive, and Chinese dragon will be around too soon after the end of Olympics!'  

Answer 2

They're two of a kind, so what's the problem?  Neither cares about the other bullying smaller nations into submission as long as they don't get in each other's territory, just like schoolyard bullies who have their turfs marked out.

Answer 3

It was Georgia who started the conflict. They invaded S. Ossetia in the day of Olympics opening.

By the way, Putin was with Bush in China.

Answer 4

No actually I think the Georgian president took advantage of Putin attending the games.

Answer 5

Russia does not take Bush's existence into account.

Georgia is a small country, like Israel and heavily supported by the USA, albeit surrounded by Russia.

But the Russians are no arabs, they fight, they know how to.

What business the USA has there? - its oil, they found lots of oil in the caspian see, what else.

Cheney would start WW3 to get it.
