Hilary Clinton dabbles in irony

Standing alongside Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili at the weekend, Hilary Clinton, the U.S. Secretary of State affirmed, "We are Georgia's partner. We are Georgia's supporter in both word and deed," and added that the U.S. administration had made clear to Russia that it opposes the continuing occupation of Georgian territories.

What Georgian territories would that be?

Presumably she was referring to the ethnically separate South Ossetia and Abkhazia which were arbitrarily tacked onto Georgia by its most prominent son, Joseph Stalin, and were never given the opportunity of voting on their independence following the breakup of the Soviet Union and had fought for years for separate statehood.

She went onto Krakow and delivered a speech on democracy promotion.

Joseph Stalin may have found that ironic.
