This brief video captures some important points nicely. George W. Bush's pius denunciation of the "use of force" by Russia against Georgia is contrasted with Bush's unwarranted invasion and occupation of Iraq. The role of Israel in the Georgian disaster is also touched on, including Israel's sale of $300 million in armaments to Georgia and its training of Georgian soldiers - - 2000 of whom served in Iraq until the Russian invasion this last week.

Mosaic's Intelligence Report shows how the conflict between Russia and Georgia was covered in the Middle East. Many broadcasters point to oil as the real cause of this conflict, while others reacted strongly to what they saw as a "double standard" between U.S. and Russia -- and questioned Bush's endorsement of Putin after looking him up in the eye. An insightful overview of how the same story can be interpreted in different ways by sources from the same region.

Recent events would suggest that when Bush looked into Putin's eyes what he saw was his own reflection.
