"…we’re a modern country, but we weren’t prepared for a long war. That’s a key – a lifeline – something comparable to the Berlin airlift. We also need secure communications, a monitored ceasefire that can be monitored by international monitors…" –Georgian president Saakashvili.
We have plenty of troops, and aircraft, pretty close by (i.e., in Iraq) but, alas, a good reason not to act. Then, again, as in 1948, our credibility is on the line. Do we have the luxury of not acting?
UPDATE: Bush, apparently, decides to help. Sends first cargo plane with relief supplies, and ships are next.
