Schroeder blames ‘gambler’ Saakashvili for conflict

[politicsisrotten]

"Imagine that we had been forced into military action on the side of Georgia as a NATO member, on the side of an obvious gambler, as one must describe Saakashvili," he said.

"I don't believe Russia is pursuing a policy of annexation and I also don't believe that there will be a return to the previous status quo for South Ossetia and Abkhazia. That is out of the question."

Wow, Schroeder is so quick. He awaits a ceasefire annoucement before he claims to know that Russia is not persueing a policy of annexation. Real brave.
