The Eye: Colin Powell Talks Sense About Georgia

  • George Conklin · 1 year ago
    I didn't get the part where Colin Powell dissed McCain, but of course I have no clue what McCain might have said about Georgia. At first blush I was also going to say I had no idea why Powell said the Georgians "asked for it" with all of those Russian troops stacked on their border, then I realized I had no idea what the issue was between Georgia and Russia. My first uninformed response would have been "Oh they just want to add satellite nations again," but then I realized there may be an actual issue besdies that.
