Excellent deconstruction. I thought the West would base its continued policy on the Big Lie it's constructed. In its reportage on Georgia's act of terrorism, The Guardian shows it's no longer a left-leaning publication--a point Media Lens has made for several years now.

How many years of oil and gas exports at current levels can Russia deliver? 20-25 for gas, much less for oil? Then what? Blair and Brown have dug a big hole and continue to sink the UK into it and now want to drag the EU with it.

The UK and Russia have been antagonists for most of the years since the Napoleanic Wars. But now the natural conditions of the two countries are quite apparent, with the UK being in dire condition and not doing much to improve. Are the Tories and LibDems standing beside Brown on this or are there some differing, saner views?

So the Guardian published a piece written by the PM?

Please look at the kind of stuff written by the staff ('This is a tale of US expansion not Russian aggression'): http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2008/aug/14/russia.georgia
