South Ossetia has--had--de facto independence from Georgia, unrecognized by the UN or the European Community, but accepted by Russia, Georgia...and the United States. Georgia moved in first--that is beyond dispute--with U.S.-backed forces trying to secure a swift capture. That would have given an oil chip (the pipeline there) to the U.S. Instead, it has placed a once-independent nation firmly in the grasp of a country that couldn't annex it politically.
This is foreign policy by hawkish morons too stupid and too cowardly to do the necessary military jobs themselves.
