So where is Obama's comments on this one.

What did he do…look up "Georgia" in the encyclopedia? And where was his call for international support for his occupation in Iraq?

Obama 08=Change
McCain 08= World War 3

Presumptuous is more than appropriate here, double standard hypocrite!!!!!

this is a knee jerk reaction, this guy is ready to go to war over anything, George Bush mould. Macain has called on the president to address the nation over this issue, he has called for severe sactions against russia, the problem is, Mcain is not the sitting president of the United states who is the one that makes Americas foreign policy.

Mike….Really? Annex Eastern Europe?

The US has no respect due to the idiot President; his clueless, war-mongering gang; and the fact that we have strained our resources in Iraq.

Action must be taken….but SMART action. Something this administration (and it seems their surrogate, John McCain) know nothing about.

Oh Sorry, I forgot Russia can fight back. We only fight the ones that we can win not the ones that can fight back. Where I come from we call that YELLOW. Fight and pick on the little guys but talk to the ones that can fight back. Yellow.

Where is Bush? There is a world crises going on and he is in China waving an American Flag backwards and McNut is speaking for him. November can not get here fast enough.

Not once does McCain mention anything but diplomatic options. Yet all we get from those posting here is that cCain is going to war.

Perhaps Obama should send a picture of his VP candidate in his email – it's obvious at least some of his supporters can't read.

I know that the Russian Administration cares what McCain thinks of it!

why can't the obamanites understand that the majority of democrats also voted for the war and these are the same old Washington politicians that are campaigning and advising sen. obama.

John McCain doesn't even know which country Putin represents!! Last I heard, McCain BELIEVES PUTIN IS THE PRESIDENT OF GERMANY!! He also believes Pakistan borders Iraq, when in fact Pakistan borders Afghanistan. McCain believes he will be able to help Chechoslovakia, a country which NO LONGER EXISTS, a country which split into The Chech Republic and Slovakia!! McCain cannot tell the difference between the different factions in Iraq. McCain has great difficulty keeping track of what is what and who is who in foreign countries and even here at home! Stupidity or dementia, which is it?? Whichever it is, McCain is the last person we need leading our country.

Chicago Josh,

You are relying on Russia's word about the "genocide" practiced by Georgia. I don't know the truth, so I can't say anything about that. However, I do know that Russia's word is not very reliable. Whether Georgia attaked first is moot, since Russian military was in and flying over Georgian territory.

Georgia is our ally because they are a western democracy in a region that has none, not because of a simple oil pipeline.

This should be an election issue, since it could escalate to something very dangerous. Regardless, it is something the next President will be engaged in.

** Nader/Gonzalez 2008 **

Obama supporters are on drugs.

McCain has more substance in his little finger than Obama has in his entire body.

The 'Cold War' never ended, and Russia is NOT our freind, if you believe this, you have your head up your butt.

hes all talk.he's never won a war.

EBC,

I'm guessing you're about 25 chronologically at 12 emotionally. Have you attended any school?

This latest Russiam strategem is why we should keep Barack Obama as far away from the role of commander in chief as possible.

McCain may be a military veteran but he greatly exaggerates his accomplishments. He is no better than the 4200 plus soldiers who have been killed in Iraq and sacrificed their life at the expense of McCain and Bush and their manipulation of facts in order to go to war. At least McCain survived and is able to walk around and tell lies and dirty jokes like he has been doing. He is sick.

We sure are lucky that Russia did not intervene when we invaded Iraq and Afghanistan. We are even more lucky that the ultra aggressive, bomb first talk later McWar is not the President of the United States.
Mind your own business dangerous crazy old man.

War? Yeah right; we should talk.

Come on COWBOY let's SURGE on RUSSIA. Let's go help poor Georgia like we did Saddam when he went into Kuwait. America to the rescue. Get on your white houre McSurge and on to Georgia.
Obama08

We are witnessing AGAIN what happens when dictatorships and tyrannies perceive weakness in democracies.

Russia is a dictatorship. They see that the left in the US and a democratic majority that is made of weaklings will do nothing except prohibit the president from responding.

Wait for an Obama presidency and Russia will annex the rest of Eastern Europe.

"I know how to win a war." Which war have you won so far?

It's time for McCain and his republicans to send troop to Russia like they did in Iraq. Sadam was a dangerous man; what about Putin? MacWar, I want you to take the lead.

the mccain camp is using this to influence the election.his lobbyist rick davis.probably knew something about what was going to happen,and it wouldnt surprise me ,if they didnt 'push' the georgians into attacking russian troops,just to make mcc 'seem' more presidential.possible rove/rumsfeld type tactics happening here?

Obama '08

Well here we go. McCain is hot tempered, a war monger. Do we want to be in another war. If elected you can bet that's what will happen.

Let's offer Russia a lot of money to stop the violence. We can just borrow it from China.

This is an effort by McBush to "look" presidential. He already made a statement concerning this matter as did Sen. Obama. Yes, it is an important matter the Russians attacking Georgia the way they have and we (the U.S.) need to speak out against this act of aggression. But it is sooo obvious that McBush is jumping on this, and it wouldn't surprise me if the Whitehouse is writting the statements McBush is coming out with, after all his twin George is in China enjoying the games.

McCain is showing the kind of leader ship we need.

Where is Obama? Taking a break, running for President is wearing him out. McCain seems to have more energy and stamina than the younger Obama. Obama has even admited the campaign is turning his hair gray. If Obama can't handle the rigors of a campaign, he'll never have what it takes to be President.

McCain in 08!

Citizenes of the US we all must vote for OBAMA and DEMOCRATS. WE can not allow another POTUS like Mccain into the whitehouse, he will have us in WWIII before his first month in office is up.

If bloodthirsty McCain is elected, plan on wars, and he'll find you jobs… by reinstating the draft!

Why are all you idiots attacking McCain? Obama has also condemned Russia's actions.

In this situation, Georgia was the aggressor. Russia retaliated.

John McCain immediately jumped on this without all the facts. Is this the kind of president he's going to be? Shoot first. Ask questions later?

McCain again using war as an opportunity for his self serving political purposes. McCain knows nothing about anything else and everything about failed policies and war. This old man will be dead and our young will die right along with him if he is allowed the presidency. McCain has lived a long life term and our sons and daughters deserve the same. He needs to retire in the old folks home and allow our nation to move forward into the 21st century. If there is one person out there that doesn't believe McCain will start another war you've got another thinking coming.

Isn't Russia, who wants to change the leadership of Georgia, just like the USA wanting to change the leadership of Iraq? …….oh wait, it is only okay if the USA does it

OK !!!!, what's wrong with this picture? America at war ,America at war,America at war. Now which of these wars do we want to win.? The one that Bush started, the one with Mexico,the one with the short dude with the funny name. Now we want one with Russia. Get all of our people home from the Bushes war and maybe we can help Georgia or maybe ourselves.

obamonites unite and believe all the propaganda the Russians will feed you. they used the same tactics when they invaded Poland and while the doves cooed the Russians invaded the rest is written in the history books if obamanites care to find out.

Some of these Obama supporters are really empty. Just because his opponent issues a strong statement which he didn't do u want to shame his opponent. Go to your candidates website and urge him to issue a statement.

So, Senator, it's OK for the US to run around sticking its military nose into other countries, affairs, but it's not OK for the Russians to do the same? Not that I like what Russia did, and is continuing to do, but it's bloody hypocritical for McCain to make a fuss about it.

I'm not a McCain supporter, nor am I old, but I must say that age-ism is just as ugly and prejudicial as racism. McCain is not too old to lead. You people who berate him as an "old man" are as disrespectful as those who call African-Americans "too stupid to lead." Both are completely ignorant, hateful statements.

If you can't understand that, then you are too stupid to vote.

Wonder which pair of over $500 pair of shoes he is trembling in today? Elitist? YOU BET. Arrogant? YOU BET. Presumptuous? YOU BET. He couldn't even READ the names correctly.

No Foreign Affairs capabilities – war war war surge surge surge drill drill drill

NO TO MCShame !!!!!!

"oil pipeline through Tblisi" Aaaaaaah, We've always wanted Russia to be just like us…..It's all about the oil.

mccain is uneducated and lacks commom sense

McWar is merely echoing what has already been said by the current administration and trying to impress voters with this. We don't need this rich, out-of-touch lying old guy.We need Obama as commander-in-chief
NOW.

America is in no position to tell Russia anything. We did take over Iraq didn't we ?? Putin is laughing at Bush and McCain. If I was Putin I would personally tell them to stfu. Hypocrites.

Ok McCain show us the path into World War III.

McCain is nothing more than a withered, bitter, disrespectful, disgraceful old man. Any respect I ever had for him is gone.

Shame on you

Nothing but a political speech written by some one on his staff. If you listen to him he had no idea what he was even saying. Why not take questions from reporters who were there. Shame on you Mccain. You knew very well you would slip up. Truly a shame that he would come out with a stump speech while people are dying. Is he or B

Thanks for moderating me CNN!

Good thing he's not president. We'd be bombing both sides just to make sure there was a peaceful outcome and we could declare victory.

Please don't moderate me CNN. Post my comment FOR ONCE!

Johnny Mac is quite arrogant and presumptious, isn't he? He's going around giving speeches, commenting about world events – acting like he's already president! HYPOCRITE! That's what he is for criticizing Sen. Obama for the same thing! I can't wait until Nov. to vote for Barack Obama – POTUS!

Mcwar wishes he was president right now he would not hesitate to start bombing russia MCCAIN IS OBSESSED WITH WAR he claims he knows how to win them as president he will start more wars so he can be in control and say see i told you i know how to win wars MCCAIN IS VERY DANGEROUS WITH HIM AS PRESIDENT WORLD WAR 3 WILL BEGIN MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Time to scare voters again, since nothing else works for the Republicans.

THE VILLAGE IDIOT OPENS MOUTH AGAIN !

Here is something you probably don't know. During the2nd world war, Russia was our allie, but they moved into Irak and took over our oil wells.
The Stars and Stripes a military news paper said that although we could do nothing about it at the time, as soon as the war was over we would be involved with conflict with Russia. Exatly what happened. We accused them of trying to take over the world and the fear word Comunism became the mantra of the US govt. What does this mean? It means all wars are fought for money!!!!!!!!! Oil is the mothers milk of war! Study history and try to find a war that was not fought for money.

McCain is an idiot. The Georgia issue is much more complex then just telling Russia to "now, stop it or we'll…." Georgia gets some blame for the events that are happening over there right now. Plus McCain is making a tense situation worse — it is too soon for all the screaming about Georgia that he is doing now. First let's see what the Bush administration is going to be able to accomplish.

Who cares – he's a loser.

From what I have read on this, there is fault on both sides for the conflict. For McCain to pick out the Russians and start beating his chest about how wrong they are to invade another country is extremely hypocritical considering he had and has no problem with the USA doing the same thing. Seems like his comments do nothing but pour gas on an already hot situation. We don't need a man of his temperament in the White House.

While Obama tries to make back room deals with state leaders of other countries, McCain steps up and talks openly. I knew the McCain haters would be out.

Lose the Zero,
Vote for the Hero
'08.

Well the only good news is that Georgia does not have any oil. It does have a big pipeline going through it though.

But since Georgia does not have any oil, I am sure the United States will turn a blind eye to the suffering in Georgia and the Ossetia regon.

Mispronouncing words is nothing new in this camp. However, I would suggest that Mr. McCain consult the U.S. Government's factbook website for up to date country names. Also, he should be quizzed on where the very important oil conduit, Strait of Hormuz is.

More from the War Monger….

"The Man. The Cause, and the Way! They don't come much better, and there is nobody who could fill his shoes today…

***************************************

MCCAIN, GEORGIA NEAR RUSSIA NOT GEORGIA DOWN SOUTH.

IF YOU'RE GOING DEFEND A NATION IT'S NOT BECAUSE OF THEIR PIPELINE OR THEIR RELIGION BUT BECAUSE OF THEIR SOVEREIGN RIGHTS ARE BEING VIOLATED.

DON'T BE DIVISIVE FOR THERE IS SUCH A THING AS BEING DIPLOMATIC. IT IS NOT IRAQ.

So what! I'm surprised McSame didn't want to send troops in to help Georgia. Or country should stay out of this, because after all who are we to criticize when we invaded Iraq?

John McCain is too old and too risky to be president and has no business running for office. He worked with the North Vietnamese while he was a prisoner, he abandoned the disabled mother of his children for a pill popping Barbi trophy wife, took money and favors from Keating, voted for the war in Iraq and drinks the same Kool-aid as the current moron in the White House.

If McCain is elected say goodbye to Roe Vs Wade and a woman's right to choose and say hello to dropping bombs on Iran and World War III.

John McCain is too risky and too Old!

america better wake up we can't go to countrys that did nothing to us and use military power in the same sentence tell other world powers what they are doing is wrong we've been occupying other countries for years and now russia wants to and all mccain can offer is a nuclear war please mccain i know you conservatives like to say we liberals are on koolaide but you guys need to put the whisky down obama 08

Your to old school McCain……Same old same old !!!!

Here he goes again war, war and more war. You would think at some point these people would get a little more innovative. It's not the mortgage crisis that is killing the economy it is constant war that only benefits the wealthy and robber barons of this country.

Now this is right up McWar's alley….I'm sure he'll look tired over the

next few days, staying up all night seeing how he can get America

into the war…..check his depends I'm sure they're wet.

Interesting, I condemn U.S. military action into Iraq and Iran.

Fix things at home first, McCain. Don't preach a standard to others that you can't hold yourself to.

WE SO NEED THIS MAN TO BE OUR PRESIDENT.
Obama is not even close to being qualified to handle situations like this. The US and the rest of the world must be able to stand up to aggretion like this and unit to stop it. With Obama as President, world aggration would go unchecked resulting in World War III which would eventully pull the US in with it.
Only by stand strong in the face of world bullies like Russia, can world war III be prevented.

Obama spells world doom.

You McCain hater/NOBAMA loser lovers will rue the day if that empty suited clown get elected! Mark my words.

Wait if this is not presumptive I don't know what is and that word does not mean what I thought it meant. Then again when will CNN stop being biased toward Obama.

While it's true that he gets more coverage than McClueless, yet 73% of the coverage he gets is negative. This is so true that if that speech was given by Obama the title would have been somthing like… "Is Obama being presumtive for saying this: " That's different and yes negative.

Come on… be fair and square to all sides… otherwise we might as well watch FIXed (not a typo) News and call it a day.

Given McCain's sense of Geography (e.g. Czechoslavakia and the "Pakistan-Iraq border), I'm surprised he didn't ask why the mayor of Atlanta didn't say anything about Russia invading.

These pronouncements remind me of the the vacuously trite platitudes spewed by the pope–you know stuff like "killing people is bad. Stop it" while failing to ever state real and sometimes obvious solutions (in the case of the Catholic church, the mafia-like cover-ups of child molestation, and in this case, whether to push for Georgia admission into NATO).

Hmm, can we open up a few more fronts to our wars?

What foreign relations ability is McCain running on?? Just don't see any of it!

Thank you Barbara.

Heads Up Everyone!

In about two to three hours Obama will come out with an almost identical comment.

“Russian President Medvedev and Prime Minister Putin must understand the severe, long-term negative consequences that their government’s actions will have for Russia’s relationship with the U.S. and Europe,”

McCain is absolutely right, no one in the world like a Bully and a Thug picking on weaker people. He is acting very presidential.

He also noted that Georgia was “one of the world’s first nations to adopt Christianity as an official religion.”

WHERE THE HELL IS THE FREEDOM OF RELIGION!!! Does McCain tell Georgia to stop attacking their own people in South Ossetia and Abkhazia? Did McCain ever say Georgia was the first ones to attack Russian troops?? I know they're our ally because of the oil route, but come on.. this isn't an election issue, this is a war where people are dying. McCain's campaign even said this conflict will be good for them.

Here it comes. Folks will start blaming Obama for the Russian actions.

Regarding Hillary:

Howard Wolfson is a pig. The fact that he's still trying to cause divisiveness WELL AFTER Hillary has conceded is an example of that. He was the perfect person to work for Hillary because he has no morals. Another example is that he is now working for Fox Noise, which is typical of a naive, selfish, inept sore loser.

David Axelrod and David Plouffe cleaned his clock during the primaries and I can’t wait until Barack wins in November.

As far as hillary might of won
in the final analysis *fate* has a way of winning the race regardless
of what may have happened
Fate was *Obama* rising to the top to tell Americans you can *change*
your country if you want to
the choice is yours, following McSame down the same old path as the last 8 years or taking a leap of faith in Obama and taking a newly paved road to change and hope and *Talking to our adversaries*
unlike MsSame who would drop bombs first like Bush and ask questions later
Its all up to you!!

Don't forget. On Friday, McCain called for NATO intervention while Obama called for peace and a diplomatic solution.

McCain = Bush with white hair

McCain may be a military veteran but he greatly exaggerates his accomplishments. He is no better than the 4200 plus soldiers who have been killed in Iraq and sacrificed their life at the expense of McCain and Bush and their manipulation of facts in order to go to war. At least McCain survived and is able to walk around and tell lies and dirty jokes like he has been doing. He is sick.

They closed out the VP announcement story for comments, but I had to post on the laugh I got.

"Obama can text and use a computer, and McCain is too old to do it!"

Yay! What a genius! Obama can use a cell phone.

But can he land a fighter jet on a moving aircraft carrier? Fire missiles at enemy targets?

The guy can't even hit bowling pins, but thank God for our country that he can send a text message.

You people are ridiculous.

Can't McCain address any situtation WITHOUT using the word OIL?

We get it alreay, McCain's top priority is OIL !! THAT's ALL he thinks about.

If McCain is elected president, we are going to the the laughing stock of this country. McCain is going to make American look stupid all over again.

Did he reference any countries that don't exist anymore?

Dear Sir:

Americans in general have no moral standing on this matter, even as I think Russia is wrong in invading a neighbor, American administration have done the same many times over, such as Iraq, Beirut, Grenada, Panama.. Should I mention any more?.

McCain is sooo out of touch. The first words out of Obama was diplomacy and get our European friends and UN behind a diplomatic solution. All McCain did was condem Russia. McCain has no plan. One reason Obama worked so hard in Europe was because he understands this is a global society. We NEED all the friends we can get and work with! Go Obama!!

Ok McSurge what are you going to do now? You and McBush just jump all over the little guy so lets see what you have in store for the big dog. Surge on Russia you yellow OLD man. No guts when the dog in the fight is the same size as you. Where is all of your tough talk now. Come on though guy lets go in. You are YELLOW. They came into Iraq to help you so why don't you go in and help them? The answer is your YELLOW. I knew some day that your card would be pulled and PUTIN did it to show the rest of the world that McSame and Bush are yellow.
Vote Obama a real MAN in 08

So what, now Sen. McCain? Nuke em till they melt?

While I'm at it. You keep saying "I know how to win wars!"

Just which "wars " have you won? You and I were both in Vietnam and we sure as hell DIDN'T win that one. I don't believe you were in any after that. Correct? So, again, just where does your "War Winning Experience" come from? Your imagination?

I thought so……..

Though I support Obama, I will say that the overall message from McCain is correct.

And it is good to see that he didn't get the titles of Medvedev and Putin mixed up…Hey, 2 out of 3 possible gaffes ain't bad John

What is McCain plan to do with Russia? Start a war?

O LORD, THE IGNORANT GIMP THAT ROARED !!!

THE RUSSIANS CAN COUNT. IN ADDITION TO OUR

LOST LIVES IN IRAQ, THERE HAVE BEEN, BY MOST

ESTIMATES, A * MILLION * IRAQI LIVES LOST FOR NO

REASON, OTHER THAN IGNORANCE & MANIACAL GREED,

BY BUSH-CHANEY, MCBUSH & LOBBYING CORPORATIONS.

McCain….send Condi Rice to start diplomatic dialogue……right……better yet………why doesn't he send more US troops……if the international community is so concerned, then let's see additional troops from other countries supporting Georgia.

Where's all the Obamo people……ohh yeah….right…..foreign policy, national security issues……Rock Stars don't bother with that!

And here we go….McCain is being a bit presumptious wouldn't you say. Why is he trying to overstep Pres. Bush on this issue? Note to McCain…YOU ARE NOT THE PRESIDENT, so your threats to Russia mean absolutely nothing. Just what we need right now to get involved in yet another international debacle. I pray that this man is not elected or WW3 is imminent!

I have been reading that this is a separatist battle between Georgia and S. Ossetia. Its a Civil war, and the Russians are helping the weaker of the two to leave Georgia. Don't you think we should stay out of this? Its not our war, its a local problem.

Unlike our war with Iraq, under very questionable circumstances, far from our own country, over WMD that they didn't have, etc.

Obama goes overseas on a tour and the media and republicans accuse him of acting like the president and he was arrogant. Now McSenile gets on television and states what ever one should be doing and that is alright,Americans are being fooled.McSenile should have gotten on TV the first day that Russia invaded Georgia and told America what happens when you invade a country that did not provoke the fight ,like Iraq maybe.Maybe John should have called his good old friend Bush in China and told him to get the hell back to the white house and act like like the president in this situation, after all his has been acting for seven and half years. Connie from Indiana

Alright McCain, don't start saying that Florida should not have attacked Georgia.

He should lay off the hard words and similar names and just stick to saying surge, Obama sucks, Paris Hilton and drill off-shore.

Obama/Sebelius 2008/2012.

I AM ALSO CERTAIN PUTIN CONDEMNS US FOR

DECLARING WAR & INDEFINITELY OCCUPYING IRAQ.

AND NO ONE CARES WHAT MCSENILE HAS TO SAY.

The timing of all these events seem to be a bit mysterious.Whos attacking whom?

Mccain is not the President ! He needs to pipe down. He is not helping with his cowboy bully remarks.

DECLARING WAR & OCCUPYING IRAQ INDEFINITELY

KILLS EVERY ARGUMENT MCSENILE CAN POSSIBLY

HAVE ABOUT ANY INVASION OF ANY COUNTRY.BESIDES

DIDN'T MCNOTHING, IN HIS TOWN HALL MEETING,

MAKE PUTIN PRESIDENT OF GERMANY ?

Barack issued a statement on the Georgia conflict last week while on vacation!

Mr. McWarmonger could not issue his statement until today because he needed the weekend to get his staff to write his statement…which he had to read word for word.

I am tired of seeing McCain, he has been in the media spot light to much lately, bring back Obama McCain is to boring.

Russia is following the example we set in Iraq. McCain should not be saying anything.

What exactly does John McCain want? is he advocating for a war with Russia? If so, him and his neo-con advisors need to expressly state what they plan to do. Are they going to implement the draft? This man is deadly dangerous. That is one reason he does not deserve the presidency. A war with Russia would not be good.

HA! You wanted the media coverage? Now you got it McCain Gaffing in a major speech while trying to look presidential. Please give Johny old man more ropes to hang himself. HA HA HA! I can just see you now having a press conference and asking the press corps to remind you the name of who you are supposed to be talking about.

NO ONE CARES WHAT MCSLEAZO THINKS.

WE ARE IN IRAQ FOR NO REASON. AND

MCSLEAZO MADE PUTIN PRESIDENT OF GERMANY ?

In his remarks, McCain repeatedly mispronounced the name of Georgian president Mikhail Saakashvili. The gaffe comes in the wake of several incidents last month when he referred to the Czech Republic as the nation of “Czechoslovakia,” which no longer exists.
______________________________________________________

Way to be "Presidential" Johnboy! Where was your foreign policy whisperer Lieberman?

John Mccain thinks he is the President. Who is he to be demanding the Secretary of State to travel to Europe. I thought this was supposed to have been issued by Bush.

Just waiting to see what Obama has to say about this. May take a while though because he'll be hard- pressed to find someone in his party that has the wisdom and good sense to make any judgement about the issue at hand. Oh heavens to Betsy! wait till Obama hears Georgia was one of the world's first nations to adopt Christianity as an official religion; that will put him between a rock and a hard place.

"McCain repeatedly mispronounced the name of Georgian president Mikhail Saakashvili. The gaffe comes in the wake of several incidents last month when he referred to the Czech Republic as the nation of “Czechoslovakia,” which no longer exists."

CNN didn't have to mention this, but I sure am glad they did. hahahaha!

When are you all going to show the clip about McCain saying at a townhall meeting earlier this year "……. and we will never have to go to war for oil again……."

Please show that cliip over and over. We got all of Obama's stuff over and over for months.

Fair and balanced should mean fair in ALL ways.

Obama '08

So John McCain fully approves of and supports George Bush's unprovoked and illegal attempted conquest and occupation and colonization of oil-rich Iraq, a sovereign nation, yet lectures Russia on its attack of Georgia, a state that had suceded from the Russian union some years back. This is bald-faced hypocrisy at its worst and makes clear he would continue Bush's alienation of America from the world as a "rogue nation" that personifies "do as I say, not as I do…or else".

McCain is a paper Tiger! He is not the President of USA, so his statements about Russia attack on Georgia is worthless. Moreover, by supporting/voting to give Bush the right to wage war against Iraq thereby deminishing USA's moral authority to critisize Russia. Sorry McCain this is the cost for having bad judgement.
McCain if you think that you are tough, why not attack Russia and save your ally Georgia? Hopefully this is a lesson for everyone! Good leadership entails good judgement, moral responsibility, etc! We have now a good opportunity to have a better leadership in th WH from 2009, but if we miss the chance, be prepared for more issues like in Georgian's!

We as a nation have lost our position to make moral statements on the invasion of a soverign nation. Iraq of course was such a nation when we decided to invade under very flimsy pretenses which of course tunred out to be untrue. This is why to become leaders in the world again we need people who stand up to this kind of useless violence. McCain is an an enabler in this whole story and of course wholeheartedly believed in the invasion of Iraq so he also has no moral position to oppose the Russion attacks. Too bad

Does McCain also understand that if Gerogia was a part of NATO (whcih we support them becoming a member), that under articl V (Ibelive that's the correct one) would be compelled to help defend Georgia against Russia? Think about that, we would have to fight against Russia, something we've never done before.

With the military stretched so thin (as the commanders have stated), how would we live up to our obligations? We need to get out of Iraq, so we can focus on the REAL 9-11 attackers and be able to defend ourselves.

And Yes, I'm a veteran, so I understand the military.

Here we go again, he wants to sart world war III? NO more Republicans!!

He's not the president – could hardly even read the notes prepared for him – geeeeez.

Cindy will have to inform McWarmonger who Obama's running mate will be.

McWarmonger is too old and stupid to learn about the latest technology. He should try using Google Earth to see where Georgia is (it is NOT in Czechoslovakia, McWarmonger).

Obama '08

Mccain Always Has Something To Say About War! Its All He Knows!

And how exactly is this not presumptious of McCain? He beats on Obama for giving a speech overseas, saying that he was acting as if he was already the President. Yet McCain actually has the gal to make demands of Russia and "Call on" the Secretary of State to do anything and to speak with the Georgian president about it. Sounds like he's acting like he is president…

OLD MAN YELL AT CLOUDS!

This is the same guy who said when he sees Prime Minister Putin he sees "KGB". The question reporters should be asking McCain is should the US send military aid to Georgia. I bet that question will get a response out of McCain that will see his polling numbers drop into the mid thirties.

RUSSIA ALWAY PLAYS THIS GAME WHEN THEY KNOW THE U.S. IS COMMITTED TO OTHER PLACES THEN THEY BACK-STAB A COUNTRY. I GUESS THEY HAVE FIGURED WITH ALL THE WHINING AND COMPLAINING OUR OBAMA MAN AND HIS SUPPORTERS ARE MAKING ABOUT NOT HAVING A STOMACH FOR WAR IT WAS TIME FOR THEM TO ATTACK. SO THIS IS WHAT YOU'LL GET WITH OBAMA AS PRESIDENT. BE PREPARED FOR THESE ENEMY COUNTRIES TO ATTACK US. NO STOMACH AMERICANS THIS IS THE PRODUCT OF HIPPIE CHILDREN.

WOW!! what gall, who does he think he is? Already POTUS? this is taking GOP arrogance to another level!

Oh Lord, please don't make him president, we will be at war with Russia too.

PLEASE shut up, OLD WHITE HAIR DUDE!! We don't need another World War III.

You're not fooling anyone with all this political statement garbage!!
