I could almost buy into that argument, Maybe the Ruskies want an American President who would give a weak-kneed vascillating response. Then again I rather think that they prefer to know what we really think.

[BABRAM]

The Russians, along with most of the international front, knows McCain's just a waste of hearing aid batteries. He should retire to his home in Arizona.

[speechlesstx]

He will. McCain on the other hand is ill and his faculties are failing.

What a load of crap, NK.

McCain's Healthy Prognosis

Sorry Speech he doesn't look like a well man:

Like I said, what a load of crap, NK. Of course I'm sure you think Obama has the golden tongue...

[NeedKarma]

No it's not a load of crap my dear Steve-o. You don't want a senile man with diminishing capacities answering that 3 a.m. call especially considering the amount of wars he seems interested in starting. I'll take the guy that says "uh" over someone having mini-strokes and trying to lead a nation.

[Galveston1]

Has anyone else noticed how popular our leftists are with foreigners?

[BABRAM]

Yes. I noticed that when traveling and on these boards. Lefties appear less ignorant, and bull headed in the eyes of the international community. Unfortunately Dubya has done very little to demonstrate otherwise.

So who are the righties popular with outside the USA?

Hello again:

Ok, we've established that the dufus didn't do it (at least to MY satisfaction). Obama didn't do it. Fer sure, McCain didn't do it. Who did?

excon

The French and German foreign minister flew immediately to Moscow. Maybe it was them?

Actually I think Nicolas Sarkozy had a lot to do with it as well!

[tomder55]

Yeah the Ruskies bow to the demands of the EU lol... Seriously I agree that Sarkosy was a player also.

Next in Putin's sights is Eastern Ukrane . By the time he is finished the Germans will be begging us to redeploy the3rd Army in their beer halls to guard against the Ruskies pouring through the Fulda Gap.

especially considering the amount of wars he seems interested in starting.

Ignoring the juvenile mini stroke remark, how many wars exactly has John McCain WANTED to start? Since the '100 years' quote was entirely about a peace time presence with our soldiers not being in harm's way, that's the first one that doesn't count.

The Annenberg Political Fact Check, a nonprofit and nonpartisan project of the Annenberg Public Policy Center of the University of Pennsylvania, says: "It's a rank falsehood for the DNC to accuse McCain of wanting to wage 'endless war' based on his support for a presence in Iraq something like the U.S. role in South Korea."

The Democrats are undeterred. "It's seldom you get such a clean shot," a senior Obama adviser told Politico. It's seldom that you see such a dirty lie.

[speechlesstx]

Nice job of fear mongering, NK. Unfortunately, the fact that there will be more wars (Georgia for instance), that we "may" have to respond elsehwere, that Weasely Clark, Pat Buchanan Scott Ritter have an opinion - mixed with unfinished quotes - does nothing to answer my question.

[speechlesstx]

Apparently, Russia changed its mind about complying with Obama's request.

Weasely Clark?? Lol He almost started a world war against the Ruskies in June 1999.

LOL! When Russia halts its advances you guys claim it's because of Bush but when they attacks it's to slam Obama. You guys are like our own personal Fox News. Harhar.

Um, I attribute it to Obama's menacing "it's not in the Olympic spirit" challenge.

UK professor discusses Georgia - Breaking News - Kentucky.com


The Russia and Georgia relationship: “With the collapse of the Soviet Union, it was very hard for many people to see Georgia break away. Parts of Georgia resisted (the collapse) and said they wanted to remain aligned with Russia and those regions were Abkhazia and South Ossetia. Georgian authorities have actually not had control of those areas since the early days of the Republic of Georgia.”...

Who is to blame?: “I think we saw this past week mistakes made by a number of players. The Georgian government responding to provocations of artillery attack and maybe a thought that here was the time to solve this problem militarily … and also a mistake by the Russian government responding with clearly a disproportionate use of force to stop this fighting.”

1]? Why did Georgia just not let these regions stay with Russia?

2]? Why is Russia using this as an excuse to invade Georgia, not just aid Ossetia?

3]? Why does Russia has a problem with USA being friendly, diplomatic ;) , with Ukraine and Georgia, while Russia is "friendly" with Cuba and Venuezuela?

4]? How much of this is about OIL ?

Georgia fighting threat to oil supply - World - Kentucky.com

Oil traders on Monday shrugged off Russia's widening invasion of neighboring Georgia, but if the conflict spreads further it could threaten nearly 1 million barrels per day of needed global crude supplies from the Caspian Sea, most of it bound for Europe.

[speechlesstx]

Uh oh, this could be McCain's October Surprise! I say hogwash, this is the prelude to Bush canceling the election and naming himself "Dictator For Life."
