Reuters [UK]: Miliband says "no question" of war with Russia (August 28, 2008
There is no question of launching "all-out war" against Russia, Foreign Secretary David Miliband said on Thursday, while condemning Moscow's "invasion" of Georgia.

Miliband, asked whether NATO would go to war against Moscow if it were to attack a neighbouring country or ally again, said: "We don't want all-out war with Russia ... There's no question of launching an all-out war against Russia."

NATO is committed to the principle that an attack against one or several members would be considered an attack against all, and to defending its members against aggression. Georgia is not a NATO member but it has ambitions to join.

miliband is a very stupid and dangerous man, with great ambitions.

blair, without even TB's noxious charm.

scariest pol in england right now, imo, makes straw and similar slime look benign.

when it comes to dark and opaque agendas, britain is right up there with italy, i reckon, just a lot less ostentatious.

And here I had a largely positive view of him due to the way the neocons and Likudniks absolutely loathe him.
