Can't we all see that this man is tasting blood----------the blood of our loved ones who will fight a McCain War (ala Bush War). Isn't it interesting that neither Bush nor McCain will send a majority of their loved ones to fight these conflicts? Do they (McCain/Bush) think America will even be around if these conflicts persist. Other major powers are not afraid of America who is now weakend and beaten down by the greedy, self-interested traitors calling themselves leaders and so-called free-traders. America needs Obama to keep a sound and measured head and controlled rhetoric, for this country can not fight another conflict. We need to rebuild America's weakened areas (trade, military, infrastructures, overall economy). I am sick to my stomach, for I love this country of ours.

He's distorting the facts for his own political purposes. It has already been reported that there were some outbursts after the announcement of a cease fire but that those were dealt with. He is not the president and yet is voicing policy as if he were. And Americans are not so transparent as to mistake his saber rattling for nothing more than an effort to gain political points. He is verbally continuing the conflict after Russia has called for a cease fire. He is more dangerous than Putin. How can anyone say Obama doesn't know what's going on. You people are repeating McCain campaign rhetoric without even listening to what he's saying. You're programmed like robots. Obama learns the facts first before he jumps, McCain fires first and then learns the facts second. He has no diplomatic expertise or geopolitical acumen.

Georgia is a democratically elected government who has had its sovereignty thrown aside by a government sliding towards authoritarianism. Why wouldn't any American support Georgia in their time of need? Are we pro-democracy or not? McCain has made a decision on this issue, unlike Obama who called for restraint on both sides. I guess the Georgian army should lay down their arms while Russian tanks charge closer to their capital.

The last time someone other than the president spoke for America he was immediately reprimanded. This is another example McCain doesn't understand his position let alone the chain of command. McCain's ambition for control is very dangerous and Bush needs to put him in his place right now. McCain will start another war if he is not shut down.
