This is rather fascinating: Putin Suggests U.S. Provocation in Georgia Clash By Clifford J. Levy, The New York Times Moscow — As Russia struggled to rally international support for its military action in Georgia, Vladimir V. Putin, the country’s paramount leader, lashed out at the United States on Thursday, contending that the White House may have orchestrated the conflict to benefit one of the candidates in the American presidential election. In tones that seemed alternately angry and mischievous, he suggested that the Bush administration may have tried to create a crisis that would influence American voters in the choice of a successor to President Bush. ( link ) Expect that to be Obama's next line of attack: "McCain is trying to drag us into a conflict with Russia." Why is it, other world leaders - including ruthless despots, as Putin is turning out to be - are always trying to get Democrats elected to the presidency? Self-interest? You betcha.

Putin, the Russian prime minister, mused in a televised interview on Thursday that the United States might have helped provoke the war between Russia and Georgia to benefit one of the candidates in the American presidential election. He did not specify which candidate; but officials here in Moscow have increasingly bristled at the criticism of the Kremlin by Sen. John McCain, who has repeatedly said he wants to kick Russia out of the Group of Eight industrialized nations and generally advocates a harder line with Russia. In an interview with CNN in the Black Sea beach resort town of Sochi, Putin said he suspected that United States citizens were in the conflict area supporting Georgiaâ��s military action in South Ossetia, which prompted a Russian offensive. The United States denies such support. Putin went on to say he was contemplating another possibility.
