Well, be he innocent or insolent, Putin is claiming that he has evidence that American personnel were involved in the Georgian attack on South Ossetia.

He is saying in unambiguous terms that there seems to be some kind of link in his view between this crisis and McCains attempts to get himself elected.

Why the implicit interest in th US election?

Is Obama a commie? (... don't bite ... okay ...)

Which government will be first to collapse under the pressure?

Sakashvilli?

Putin (medvedev)?

or McCain Bush and Son?

What does Putin gain by making this accusation?

And if Obama wins - does that mean Putin works with a US government he trusts?

Why is putin saying what he is saying?

If it's just about power, expansion and anti american posturing, then why the apparent endorsement of Obama?

My mind boggles trying to understand where Putin is coming from.
