NATO wants explanation from Russia
http://feeds.bignewsnetwork.com/?sid=351431

NATO has asked for clarity on the incident in which Russia allegedly shot down an unmanned Georgian spy plane.

The drone was shot down over the breakaway region of Abkhazia at the weekend.

NATO wants to know whether the plane was shot down by Russian-backed Abkhaz rebels, as claimed by Moscow, or by a Russian fighter jet, as claimed by Georgia.

NATO investigators want to know whether the Russians violated Georgian air space.

1. Unless Georgia is a member of NATO, I don't see how NATO has any standing on the issue.
Unless they see Georgia as a future NATO outpost against Russia.

3. legally, the US has no standing on the issue, but so what?
When has legality or fairness ever been a concern of the Bush administration?

5. Putin's answer.
Condi put your lips together and whistle. This was THE Russia expert? THIS was the best we had in America on Russia? Please tell me this isn't so. He plays her like a fiddle. She is the walking Peter Principle. And before I get attacked for attacking Condi, don't be fooled by the name, I am a Latina female.

7. Condi is my age.
I studied Russian Studies as an undergrad, but went to Lsw School instead. She allegedly continued her studies. I hate to think that I could figure this out as a "hobby" and she couldn't figure this out as her job. It has been almost 30 years since I actively studied Russian. Do you read the language? I wish I had continued with it. It is a beautiful language.
