Both Bush and Obama are expected to make comments on the situation in Georgia within the hour. I’m sure Bush will echo much of the same rhetoric that John McCain doled out earlier. However, I don’t really know if he will announce any concrete measures to pressure Russia. As for Obama, I really have no idea where he will go. But I will be shocked if he doesn’t broadly support Bush’s policy. He may discuss how Bush’s missteps have led us to this point. But I don’t expect him to diverge dramatically from the goal of getting Russia to vacate Georgian (and disputed Georgian) territory. We will see.
