George "Do As I Say, Not As I Do" Bush

So Dubya came out and condemned the "attacks" by Russia stating such memorable lines as:

Bush said the military crackdown has "substantially damaged Russia's standing in the world. And these actions jeopardize Russia's relations with the United States and Europe. It is time for Russia to be true to its word and to act to end this crisis."

"Russia has invaded a sovereign neighboring state and threatened a government elected by its people," Bush said. "Such an action is unacceptable in the 21st century."

First, Georgia is the guilty party in this situation, beyond what you might here from the talking heads in DC: http://www.antiwar.com/justin/?articleid=13285

And second, obviously, is why is it ok for you to overthrow governments (Especially one's that HAVE NOT attacked your soil) yet as soon as another country actually takes questionable, yet more justified, actions, you are so quick to call for an end, Mr. President?
