Saakashvili Wins

Perhaps this is what Saakashvili was hoping for:

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov told U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice in a telephone conversation today that Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili ``must go,'' meaning he should be ousted from office, Khalilzad said.

This is unacceptable, and it makes Saakashvili a hero in Georgia, obviating some of his domestic troubles. I do not think that the US has any choice but to support him now. He needs to be tossed in the trash heap when this is all over, however.

Mikheil Saakashvili is not the first one, Osama bin Laden and Sadam Hussein has been before him. Story lines are almost identical.
