The "Cease Fire" had nothing to do with the United States. The U.S. is in no position to stop Russia in Georgia nor is their incentive to do so. Bush can talk and posture all he wants, but there is little to no meaningful action that the U.S. can take in this situation other than to whine and complain as they have. The U.S. has not moral, ethical, or historical ground to stand on from which to criticize Russia on these events, let alone take action.
