A Nunn sighting in the tumult over the other Georgia

Though the reference disappeared in subsequent Sunday editions, early versions of a New York Times article on Barack Obama’s reaction to the Russian invasion of Georgia included this paragraph:

Wendy Morigi, Obama’s national security spokeswoman, said that in recent days the campaign had spoken to experts including Sam Nunn, a former senator of Georgia and an influential Democratic voice on foreign policy; Michael A. McFaul, a Russia scholar at Stanford University who heads the campaign’s foreign policy team on Russia and Eurasia; Richard Holbrooke, a former American ambassador to the United Nations under President Bill Clinton; and Lee Hamilton, a former Democratic representative of Indiana, who now heads the Woodrow Wilson International Center.

Georgia secedes from empire run by northerners and suffers brutal invasion and occupation, sounds like history repeats itself. Lincoln/Putin, Deo Vindici

I wonder if Nunn is back on the shortlist for Obama’s VP as a result of this flareup in Georgia by Russia?

I have been posting as Churchill all day. My last comment was my favorite because it allowed me to expresss my racism. I am a backward country idiot after all. I have nothing better to do than hijack Churchill’s name and make childish comments. He must be out of town because I am not getting any response from him. Oh well I having the time of my life doing this stuff.

It speaks well for Obama that his key foreign policy advisors include Nunn, Hamilton, and Holbrooke.
