It seems like John McCain's foreign policy freelancing may be further complicating the situation in Georgia. And President Saakashvili seems reasonably to be asking whether he shouldn't be getting more for having McCain top foreign policy advisor on his payroll for all these years.

This morning Saakashvili told CNN: "Yesterday, I heard Sen. McCain say, 'We are all Georgians now,'" Saakashvili said on CNN's American Morning. "Well, very nice, you know, very cheering for us to hear that, but OK, it's time to pass from this. From words to deeds."

Isn't John McCain just a presidential candidate? Not actually president? Is he really supposed to be running his own freelance foreign policy as part of his campaign?
