U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton voiced concern over Russian plans to build up military bases in Georgian rebel regions and called on Moscow to end its "occupation" of Georgian territory two years after a war.
Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin shot back that some people believed Moscow's forces had liberated Georgia's breakaway South Ossetia region in the August 2008 war, rather than occupying it.
"Some people," eh? Let us count them:
Russia
Nicaragua
Venezuela
Nauru
oh yeah, and Transnistria, a state unrecognized by any UN member.
So Vlad, when you can find something that both Israel and Iran can agree on (ie, not recognizing South Ossetia) you know you've got a problem...
