Yup..
Oh, darn. Bush should have said nothing instead.

In fact, what do you expect him to say? Tell Russia that because the US apparently 'bullied and intimidated' countries throughout the world, its alright for Russia to do the same thing?

You do realize that Bush being strong in this regard, only sets the foundation for the next President? Right now he's not acting for his own good, but for the good of the United States. If Georgia is a US ally, they have the responsibility to defend Georgia. Even against Russia. Fighting a verbal war is part of that.
