just talked to No. 1 Son.. Seems that the UN wants to do something to put the Russkies in their place over Georgia.. Higher Ups put out a bolo asking for officers with UNMO experience for duty in Ossetia!.. and the lad has the qualifications from his sojourn in the Sudan and his foreign language skills [ he hable Roosian, Spanish and French ]..

No official word that anything is going to happen but, since they're asking and there was a time limit [ like they need an answer yesterday ].. his number popped up on top..

guess the West is getting serious about keeping an eye on Putin's puppets..gee, I thought they were all too busy wringing hands over the collapse in Pakistan of the ' coalition' government and its possible impact on the Afghan situation.

of course, this assumes that the UN boys all agree, can find the money to finance it, can get countries to agree to it, can make the Russians think its' in their best interests ' and the whole thing isn't over before anyone gets their act together...

Could be fun..

What ever happened with this? Just curious as I missed this orginal posting.
