Placed in power in 2003 by a US-backed regime change operation, Georgian President Saakashvili has enthusiastically pandered to Washington’s every whim ever since: From contributing a hefty troop contingent in Afghanistan, to opening up his country’s territory to accommodate US military designs in the region, essentially against Russia. This time, as Rick Rozoff details, Georgia’s soil will be used in a possible attack on Iran. In return, Saakashvili’s puppet masters have promised to secure him another electoral win.

In Ukraine and Kyrgyzstan, recent developments have upset the scaffolding set up by the U.S. through its colour revolutions to gain control over former USSR states. It is now Washington’s staunchest ally Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili, propelled into power by the 2003 "revolution of the roses", who is rocking the boat through his recent "real politik" rapprochement with Iran, causing a further shift in the configuration of alliances in the region.

Less than two years since its military aggression against South Ossetia, Georgia was thrown into panic overnight as a fake report of a Russian attack was shown on Imedi TV. President Saakashvili called the incident "unpleasant but useful", alleging that such reports could prevent similar real-life occurrences! Ahead of national elections in May and imminent discussions on the Georgian-South Ossetian conflict, feigning a permanent threat from Russia might be Saakashvili’s last argument for staying in power, but one which could also easily backfire.
