Wouldn't this be an apt caption?

Stop sounding like Hitler before the rally ...

don't look so down, I know how it feels. We were able to lose our entire country in far less time.

Sarkozy: "Hmm. Still pinned. Listen Mickey, you've just gotta stop partying with Georgie."

I'm sorely tempted to say: "Why so serious?", if it weren't for the scores of real dead people and the fact that Sarkozy's far too mediocre to be a credible cartoon/movie villain (or pretty much any current world leader, for that matter)

"Mikey, baby, we like inititive, but ya otta had cleared this with boss! Not to worry, we got our chestnuts outta the fire -- but I'm not so sure about yours..."

listen Mickey, you still think NATO's all that and a bag of chips ? Do'nt believe the hype buddy. Heres a much nicer deal from Putin himself. He wants you to know that every Georgian who wants a Russian passport can have one.

Yeah, I do realize you shot down 80 planes, and I'm proud of you, but now turn off the Playstation and go to bed.

"it was you fredo, it was you, you broke my heart"
"it was johnny ola, they told me i'd get a piece of the action, just for me, michael"
"come on the plane with me, it's the only safe way out of here - we've got a job for you in one of our casinos - charlie pasqua(france's luca brazzi) will give you some lessons"

Actually, RG, I think this Godfather quote was more appropriate to the particular picture.
"Don't ever take sides against The Family again. Ever."
Saakashvilli is Still My Name
(You have to have seen the movie)

Thanks all - the one I personally find the best is from B ark@14
"Yeah, I do realize you shot down 80 planes, and I'm proud of you, but now turn off the Playstation and go to bed."
well, right now, maggie, about the only thing we're sure of is that we need to find this kid a men's boutique & get him something to eat.

Listen, Mikheil. You overplayed your hand because you didn't realize that there are now divisions among Western states and within the power elites of the US on strategy in the Caucasus. You got suckered by Team B. Don't feel bad, we've all been suckered by Team B.
