Putin: Georgia war was all about McCain

Russia's prime minister Vladimir Putin has advanced the novel thesis that what he called "the attack by Georgia on South Ossetia" was facilitated by the United States Republican Party in order to boost Senator John McCain's poll ratings, which had been falling behind those of his rival, Barack Obama, Lenta.ru reports.

This is clearly intended to play well with the crowds at the Democratic convention in Denver, Colorodo, this evening, when Senator Obama takes the platform. For Mr. Putin is an Obama supporter.
