Bush/Blair - the legacy lives on

So Medvedev sends his troops into Georgia. Who could countenance such an unprovoked brutal invasion of another sovereign state in this day and age? Oh, that's right, we've been there. I can here the tinkle of smashed panes in glass houses.
Still, I think what it really amounts to is a divertionary tactic by the Russian hierarchy to take their people's mind off the Olympic Games and make them feel they've got some clout in the world still. They're being tatered by Team GB, for goodness sake.
I do kind of like watching Medvedev on the telly, though, as I'm a great fan of Gerry Anderson's classic sixties series, the ones where you could see them pulling the strings. Here, of course, it's Putin who's the puppet-master. The invasion of Georgia: filmed in Supermarionation!
