Это уже значения не имеет - ведь Саркози уговорил Путина пощадить Саакашвили. Вот что Daily Telegraph пишет.
Mr Putin's fury was overheard by President Sarkozy's chief adviser, Jean-David Levitte during emergency cease-fire talks on August 12. According Mr Levitte, interviewed in Le Nouvel Observateur magazine, Mr Putin exploded with rage when Mr Sarkozy warned him off toppling Georgia's democratically elected government and its President Saakashvili. "I am going to hang Saakashvili by the balls," he said. "Hang him?," asked Mr Sarkozy. "Why not?," retorted Mr Putin. "The Americans hanged Saddam Hussein." Mr Sarkozy replied: "Yes but do you want to end up like Bush?" Briefly lost for words, the Russian leader agreed: "Ah, you have scored a point there."
