Cheney Backs NATO Membership for Georgia

A stick in Putin's eye

“ One day after the United States proposed $1 billion in humanitarian and economic assistance to help rebuild Georgia after its war with Russia, Vice President Dick Cheney flew here to reaffirm Washington’s support for this country’s eventual NATO membership and to issue a powerful condemnation of Moscow. [NYT] ” Gawd, but I love that guy.  I think it's a non-starter though.  Cheney's asking that famous warrior class, Europe, to sell life insurance to a patient with cancer.  Plus, NATO membership as raison d'agir smacks of  congress passing new ethics rules every time they're caught taking bribes.  You don't need no stinking laws to do what's right. Too bad, because, as I previously stated, Georgia is Putin's Rhineland, and it looks like he got away with it.  We're all gonna pay for that short-sightedness by Europe; not for the first time.
