Bush will try to broker a peace deal and try to salvage what is left of his legacy.

Georgia probably got the ok from the West.. whether he misunderstood the message is unclear.
He said the Russians crossed into Georgia, regardless if it was part of the break away region, and that in his mind is considered an invasion.
He took military action instead of informing the "convey" to return.
If.. he was given the ok.. it would not be far fetched. considering the States has a history of backstabbing other leaders during times of war..
eg.
In 1990 before Iraq invaded Kuwait the US Ambassador April Gillespie met with Saddam Hussein. There was no way to be sure if they gave the ok to invade Kuwait at that time. The USA Support of Saddam Hussein was told to have stopped by the American Media and mainstream newspapers in the USA, However some US Corporations continued to trade with Iraq though other foreign means. Later the truth about April Gillespie and Saddam Hussein's meeting was out and many as I believe will tell you it is sure that April Gillespie told Saddam to attack Kuwait.

What better way for Russia to impose a puppet just as the US did and in exchange the US gets Iran.
What I have yet not resolved is what does China get out of this? Cheaper oil? Considering oil is sold in US dollars.. any war the US takes against any OPEC nation or Iran would inflate the prices in China.
So once the dust settles.. Russia can dictate prices for the UK and the States can dictate the price for China... until all nations build enough nuke plants to sustain their energy needs so as not to rely on oil.
Oil is only a short term thing.. most likely they are looking to combine resources for their main prize.... the energy on the moon.
He3 fusion plants have been proved out, and folks are frantically building them, just waiting for us to show up with with tanks full of helium-3.
.........
The Energy
That 1 million metric tonnes of He3, reacted with deuterium, would generate about 20,000 terrawatt-years of thermal energy. The units alone are awesome: a terrawatt-year is one trillion (10 to 12th power) watt-years. To put this into perspective, one 100-watt light bulb will use 100 watt-years of energy in one year.
That's about 10 times the energy we could get from mining all the fossil fuels on Earth, without the smog and acid rain. If we torched all our uranium in liquid metal fast breeder reactors, we could generate about half this much energy, and have some interesting times storing the waste.
Lunar Helium-3 as an Energy Source
Don't forget.. once the oil rich nations are depleted of their resources.. they will be a risk as they look to their nabours to support their country.. and a country with lots of cash can buy lots of big toys to play with nabours who may not be well prepared.. so might as well take down those who don't play well with other world leaders..
eg..
Olmert.. charges laid to have him step down. He is looking for peace.. others want to attack Iran.
Afghan pres. is now being accused of collaborating with drug war lords. This after he informs the US that Afghanistan will not be a launching pad to invade Iran.
Palestinian president is being impeached.
So many pieces being moved in such a short time on a global scale..
Another conspiracy theory in the making.
