Senator and the GOP presidential candidate John McCain just announced his running mate, Alaska Governor, 44 years old, mother of 5 and runner up of Miss Alaska pageant Sarah Palin. McCain's underdog campaign will be blessed by women, Secretary Rice for taking off the the Russia-Georgia war, and Governor Palin for making the campaign more dynamic, and women voters who will make selection for next four years. Poor Obama, he should have picked Hilary.

Retrospective thinking, the Obama would not be the history making event, but the McCain's would be.

Palin, what an energetic, magic, well-formed, over-achieved woman with an impeccable resume. Reese Witherspoon in the 1999 movie Election, anyone?

A woman changed the world - what did Secretary Rice tell Georgia on July 10?

US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice visited Georgia on July 10, 2008. Rice met Georgian President Saakashvili, and discussed issues of Georgia's perspective in NATO and South Ossetia separatism.

South Ossetia is a autonomous republic within Georgia, across the Russia-Georgia border to the North Ossetia, part of Russia. Based on a truce agreement between South Ossetia and Georgia made in 1992, Russia keeps a peace keeping force in South Ossetia. More than 70% of the South Ossetia citizens hold Russian citizenship.

What happened after this was history.

On August 8, 2008, Georgia military bombarded Russian peace keeping forces and seized the capital city of South Ossetia despite resistant from local militias. One thousand of five hundred residents were to die in the very first day of this war. At the time, Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin was in Beijing watching the opening ceremony. As anyone can expect after the Bear is awakened, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev ordered counter attack. Russian Tanks rolled into Georgia, with Russian bombers bombed military targets across entire Georgia. It has been reported that up to 7000 Georgian soldiers had been captured out of the total of 27000 strong army. Georgian military withdrew from the capital city Tskhinvali. In diplomatic field, Georgia President begged Russia for an immediate truce.
