Curious. Scheunemann did not deny the object of the first question, that McCain egged on Saakashvili. He went on a rant about blaming the victim but made no comment on McCain and Saakashvili.
Did they talk? Is there some quid pro quo that if Saakashvili antagonized the Russians in August so that McCain could talk tough, he would get some recompense (NATO?) from a McCain regime? It sounds like an "August Suprise" scenario to me - and something that has not been denied.
