What FOX was saying when Putin invaded Georgia on Bushs watch. Some of the Fox commentators currently stoking the flames of crisis were rather non-judgmental when Russian tanks moved into Georgia. I dont think the Russians are reckless, Charles Krauthammer announced on August 8, 2008, as Russian fleets advanced into the Black Sea and Russian jets launched raids targeting government buildings in Georgia. What they are doing here is reasserting control of this province. And when its done, which will probably happen in a couple days, the firing will crease. Three days later, Krauthammer insisted there was nothing for the United States to do as the crisis escalated: Well, obviously its beyond our control. The Russians are advancing. There is nothing that will stop them. We are not going to go to war over Georgia. Krauthammers Fox colleague Jeff Birnbaum, agreed: Because Georgia is not part of NATO, theres really no danger the United States or Europe will get in involved in what is really a civil war almost between--within this small part of Georgia. Fox News message to America then? Just relax. Theres nothing the U.S. can do about Russia invading its sovereign neighbor and it will all be over soon. Fair and balanced
