Senator McCain said in Michigan today August 13/08 that nations do not invade other nations in the 21st century. Senator McCain seems to have both long term and short term memory problems. He seems to have amnesia about the recent Iraq illegal invasion.
Keith reyes, PhD.

I'm really sick of this double standard. Why is no one in the main stream media calling McCain presumptuous? Why did no one call him out yesterday for his saber rattling?

He's a blithering old fool.

Keep your nose on you face old man because you aint the president and you will never be

The only thing that could start a cold war is MCcrazy, He say's nation's don't invade country's in the 21 centry,but you voted to invade iraq, i guess it sliped your mind again,one more thing why is MCcrazy on TV speaking out about Russia more than the president,im waiting for Obama to hit MCcrazy on this last i checked MCcrazy is not president.

The Georgia Issue was set up by Charlie Black, a Georgia Lobbyist who worked for McCain. McCain is more WAR! ALL THE TIME. NOT THIS YEAR NOT NOW!

The Russians will leave Gorgia when peace has been restored. They will not stay a day longer than is necessary.

As soon the Officer on the ground say that things are ok, I believe the Russians will leave. But first peace has to be brought back.

The repubs need to stop talking funny and support Medvedev for his effort to bring peace in the region.

McCain is very realistic about how to handle things. He's been there before and he knows whats what i think he would be a great president. This war isn't going to end and things are changing in america and they aren't going to be the same.

Do any of you realize that Georgia is an ally and has supported us in the wars we are involved in right now? Or do you care about loyalty?

McShame is at it again. War, war,and War again!

"I don't think it means we're going to reignite the Cold War, and I don't think that we're going to have kind of situation," he said at a fundraiser in Michigan. And then added, "And that's a real shame, because that's pretty much the only way I could win this election". Then, he drooled oatmeal down the front of his shirt and fell asleep.

and that was this century, not the one he was born in.

MCCAIN APPEARS TO BE CONFUSED. HE CONSTANTLY STATES "IN THE 21ST CENTURY, NATIONS DON'T INVADE OTHER NATIONS".

WHERE WAS MCCAIN, WHEN THE U.S. INVADED IRAQ?

"in the 21st century, nations, don't invade other nations….", john McSame, August 13, 2008 on Georgia-Russia conflict. OOPs, I think he forgot the United States invaded Iraq.

McCain is reckless, belligerent, and boiled with a mis-directed vengeance. You don't make comments and interfere with foreign relations without receiving the same. McCain is the only supporter of removing Russia from the G8. His G8 policy mirrors the gas tax holiday. There isn't an economist in the country that agrees with a gas tax holiday. This conflict is not our problem. We have plenty of our own.
McCain becomes president and he'll drag us into another cold war. This is ridiculous. The man even plagiarized his initial speech from Wikipedia. Yep, that's right, McCain's initial speech on Georgia was partially stolen from Wikipedia. He's reckless and a war monger. Politics are the only thing that are driving McCain's continuing comments.
He has "known" the Georgian president for a long time? Then how does he mispronounce the name of a "long-time friend" 3 times?

So McCain stands with Bush on this issue too. Not that you can tell, McCain has been screaming so loud with his shoot first, ask quetions later comments you can't hear what the White House (who actually DOES speak for the US and all Americans, per a little thing called the United States Constitution) might be doing. Way to go, Mr. Experience. The White House is a joke, so let's make it worse by muddling the message, repeating talking points from a paid Georgian lobbyist, exploiting the deaths of thousands of civilians for partisan political gain, and otherwise diluting whatever pitiful political influence we might have otherwise had. Then claim you stand with and support Bush. Smart move, McEinstein!

Last time I checked the president was still GWB (adly enough), McCain is not. He should keep quiet.

NEWS ALERT. Hitler has invaded Poland overwhelming it's forces with a Blitzkrieg.

On a side note sales of Prime Minister Chamberlain's "Peace in Our Time" Happy Meals have plummeted.

The Old Man is again talking to the Clouds – as we speak (in Michigan).

Actually I am glad that he speaks more. The more he speaks the more people he will scare off

OBAMA ‘08

Ron Democrat turned independent: So you think the terrorist is afraid of Talking Robotic John who can't even comb his own hair!! Ha, ha…..no more wars!

GOP Supporter – GET OFF IT.

McCain has run a completely nasty campaign against Obama, so don't tell us to lighten up on him. We will, when he lightens up on Obama. He is a jealous little weasel, and most of the world knows it. He was indicted on felony charges in his role in the savings and loan scam (Keating 5), cannot stay on track mentally, flip flops like a short order cook, was unfaithful to his wife who worked tirelessly to get him back from Vietnam. John McCain chooses what is easy, not what is right. He will be just as foul a president as Bush was. He can't escape the Rebublican bad wap that Bush put on the party. He lives in the past and has made so many statements proving to the people of this country that he is nothing more than a rich old white DUNCE.

Get over yourself.

SEND OUT TROOPS McCain! That'll teach'em and our troops!
Surge!
Surge!
Surge!

Forget America! We are Georgian's now!

ps – I thought you put America "First"??

No, he'll ignite it into a hot war where nukes are actually launched.

Let McSame keep talking….he only helps Barack Obama

Mr. McLiar-Warmonger GO AWAY!

McCain is spot on on this one. As long as he is not going start a war with Russia he'll do fine.

Ok. So for all you who are spewing hatred of Sen McCain for supporting Pres Bush's position in this instance. This is the deal. Pres Bush wants Russian troops to leave Georgia and allow humanitarian aid into that country. There's been no talk of war, but only to find a peaceful resolution to the crisis. That is Pres Bush's (and Sen McCain's) stance.

So…if you are hitting Sen McCain for agreeing with the President's stance then I ask you. What is your stance? That you don't want Russian troops to leave Georgia, that you want them to take over Georgia, that you do not want any humanitarian aide to get to the Geogian people? Is that your stance? Really? Are you really that stupid? Have you already forgotten the atrocities and harshness of the old USSR? Have you already forgotten the celebrations and smiling faces of the people of countries like Georgia, Ukraine, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Poland, etc when the USSR disentigrated and these people were once again free to live their lives out from under the crushing thumb of the USSR?

I would think that Sen Obama (and you) would agree with Pres Bush and Sen McCain in this instance as well.

If Russia wants to re-establish the Russian Empire, will America allow them to do so? If no, does this not mean there will be a confrontation between Russia and the US? How is this different from the Cold War? McCain is making no sense at all. Old Politics being played by an Old Politician. The public has become much smarter than McCain knows.

Hey Johnny,

I'm an american, I do however know some Georgians living here in america…but just to clear up your confusion…we here in america are referring to one of our states located on the east side of OUR country.

Please refrain from sending OUR boys and girls over there to be MURDERED for YOUR new country.

Go ahead and be Georgian, I will enthusiastically bid you farewell. But leave us out of it, unlike you, we like our country.

For all of you who want the EU to take care of this, they are of bunch of wimps, just like NATO, and you want Obama for pres here, he wants to turn the U.S. into another EU. Didn't our forefathers leave over there to get away from that type of gov't rule and you all want to go back to it, just move back where your smarter relatives came from.

Since neither John McCain nor Barack Obama is actually the president right now, why do either of one of them's opinion matter right now?

Besides, the Georgian president has himself to blame for the mess he's in.

How exactly do u plan to "stand" for Georgia, huh?

Bomb Russia??? Does this warmonger know how many nuclear warheads Russia has (versus how many we have)? Russia has about 15K versus our 5k… So there McWar.. bomb them.

Hey, Grampy! Did you tell them the one about your campaign aide's lobbyist ties to Georgia prior to you lifting your initial plagiarized response directly off Wikipedia?

trsut me,, with mccain supporting bush on this desicion? a cold war it will start and americans can not afford this,,,,, im against this,,, leave it alone,,,

Yeah McCain… you can actually thank Condi Rice for the fact that this hasn't exploded into another cold war. She had to go in and smooth things out after your "tough talk".

i do not support th idea of goin over there,, we have enough tragity on our plate here, and in my opinion,, bush needs to stop diggin us in deeper,, ,,, how can we even think of sendin troops over when we are so stretched already??? americans do not need this,,,,

what has obama done oh wait he's in hawaii shouldn't a real leader come back when there is a crisis? not obama he'd rather catch some rays. enjoy the sun obama while real leaders handle this conflict.

We never had a cold war between east and west that were media hipe which serve it pupose very well in it days. Europe is America "America is Europe" remember that " they are closer to the situation than we are and we have an election coming up in a few month ; dont rock the boat.

Guess what an adviser has just told McCain to cool his war rhetoric as it's giving him a scary image.

Too late, too bad if there's oil in them thar hills John McCain and George Bush will fight to get at it regardless of the toll it takes on your economy and your military.

If you hear a loud noise and feel a rumbling sensation that's not the world applauding Bush & McCain's rhetoric it's Russia rolling on the ground laughing.

Some of these Obamacans are stupid. As ur candidate what his stand his and stop criticizing someone who has taken one.

Ron, how do you know Arabs attacked the towers? Where is the "innocent till proven guilty" rule, hmm?????????

If McCain (or Bush) does not shut up, you WILL provoque another Cold war….
Ron Democrat: Do you really think you have no terrorist attacks because of Bush? Or Mc Cain? Keep dreaming…………………..

McBush is totaly ineffective when it comes to foriegn affairs. He thinks Russia is the Soviet Union. Thinks that Czechoslavakia is still one nation. Believes that Pakistan and Iraq share a common Border. Does not now the difference between an Arab and a Persian or a Sunni and a Shia. Can not deal with Putin because he has publicly insulted him as a leader. Can not participate in Israel and Palestine peace talks because he has proclaimed himself to be the worst enemy of their elected Palestinian Government. McBush is not even President and he has set himself up to be a failure on the world stage. All he can offer is continued war and a failing economy.

I believe that Senator McCain is still a Prisioner of War. His mind seems to be fixated on war. He has experience from which he seems to have learned little if anything. He has demonstrated that he lacks knowledge or has forgotten what he thought he knew. This is not a good sign.

And just what can saber rattling do to Russia? McCain is a little out of touch. I'm sure this guy paid dearly in is years of captivity, but how does that give you foreign policy experience? I think this guy behind the switch at three o'clock in the morning, should scare the living crap out of America, and the world! And for what I've read it sounds like if Obama doesn't win we can thank the impeached Billary's for their contribution, or lack of. And the millions of people that will not vote for a black man, or even a half black man! They would rather head down the same road we have seen with Bush!

And another thing, the whole connection of McCain to a lobbyist for Georgia is so stupid. While lobbyists as a whole get a bad rap there are plenty of lobbyists that are beneficial, and I would say one that is representing a growing country with a democratically elected government is not really in the same vein as someone representing a tobacco company. Hell, AARP is a lobbyist group, does that make them evil all of the sudden?

If Obama were President he would politely ask the Russians to please get out of Georgia, and of course they would comply …. LOL … Hahahahahahahahahah !

I just can't wait to hear how cable news pundits, including CNN's, will definitely find only positive things to say about McCain's obvious pandering.

Wait a minute, I hope McBush is not confusing the American State of Georgia with the Republic of Georgia…Oh my good god!!!!!!!1

Are we really considering electing this guy? God help America please, what's happening to our once beloved smart country?

Too bad Barack Obama isn't still in the Illinois State senate where he can make a politically convenient statement like he did with Iraq

We have military bases in over 130 countries. So what's McCain's definition of an empire?

Both McCain and Bush are responsible for this crisis. Both were encouraging the Georgian president to be aggressive. Bush was selling weapons worth billions of dollars in the last few years. Why does a small country like Georgia needs to get so much offensive weapons? Georgia has the 4th largest military budget per capita in the world!!! And of course all the American instructors who taught Georgian army how to attack South Ossetia. However, the largest responsibility is with Georgian President who, as many people who had a chance to deal with him know, is very impulsive and is known to take big risks for the sake of his career, even if it will bring disastrous results on his people.

Just like it happened with Saddam, Taliban and Osama… the U.S. grew a monster in Georgia and then lost control of it. Georgia started the ethnic cleansing in South Ossetia – a small country of 70K people – by launching a heavy artillery offensive and killing over 2000 civilians. Saddam was hanged for killing 400 people in Kurdkystan. Why is Sakashvilli different??? Most of the 2000 civilians killed are Russian citizens – why then it should be a surprise that Russia responded? The question is if Russia overacted. I don’t know. Did we overreact when we (Nato) attacked Serbia over the conflict in Kosovo, bombed civilian infrastructures all over the country, including Belgrade? We bombed the bridges and main TV tower in Belgrade, killing journalists. All this was done supposedly to protect Albanians from Serbia, even though Kosovo was and is part of Serbia. All this was done without UN mandate.

This guy is confused: We are all Georgians but we are all not Americans. In Particular the Obamas are not Americans because they have muslim roots and went to elite schools!

Someone please find McBomber his pills so he can think straight!

McCain is more trustworthy when it comes to handling these types of foriegn conflicts because he has more experience and is more comfortable taking on the task. Obama reads from prepared statements, with long pauses that are scripted probably by his white male staff and obviously is repeating what he has heard others say. Obama has absolutely no leadership ability.

Sorry but Obama was right on this one, he was pushing for the entire Euorpen nation get involved to presure Russia. Why should Amercia "solve" this on our own! The Russians know we are tied up in Iraq and Afg. get agrip people

McCain wants war so badly because he lost in Vietnam. He is too old and lacks restraint. McCain has no morals and he is an elitist.

If you support Tibet, why not S Ossetia? (the 30% Georgian did not vote)
——– >>> from Wikipedia… –____—_
On September 11, 2006, the South Ossetian Information and Press Committee announced that the republic will hold an independence referendum[7] (the first referendum had not been recognized by the international community as valid in 1992[35]) on November 12, 2006. The voters would decide on whether or not South Ossetia "should preserve its present de facto status of an independent state". Georgia denounced the move as a "political absurdity". However, On September 13, 2006, the Council of Europe (CoE) Secretary General Terry Davis commented on the problem, stating that it would be unlikely that anyone would accept the results of this referendum and instead urged South Ossetian government to engage in the negotiations with Georgia.[36] On September 13, 2006 European Union Special Representative to the South Caucasus, Peter Semneby, while visiting Moscow, said: "results of the South Ossetian independence referendum will have no meaning for the European Union".[37] Peter Semneby also added that this referendum will not contribute to the peaceful conflict resolution process in South Ossetia.

South Ossetians nearly unanimously approved a referendum on November 12, 2006 opting for independence from Georgia. The referendum was hugely popular, winning between 98 and 99 percent of the ballots, flag waving and celebration marked were seen across South Ossetia, but elsewhere observers were less enthusiastic. International critics claimed that the move could worsen regional tensions, and the Tblisi government thoroughly discounted the results.

Both MaCain and Bush are partially responsible for this since it was encouraging the Georgian president to be aggressive. He was selling weapons worth billions of dollars in the last few years. Why does a small country like Georgia needs to get so much offensive weapons? Georgia has the 4th largest military budget per capita in the world!!! And of course all the American instructors who taught Georgian army how to attack South Ossetia.

All this was done without UN mandate.

I love it……McCain "strongly supports Bush's position."
Get tying yourself to the anchor Bush. You're bound to loose the election!!!
Go Obama!!

GOP Supporter. – Give us one instance where McCain has displayed superior knowledge due to his experience..only one Please, that shouldn't be too difficult should it…

ExxonMobile/McCain 08.

HE TRYING TO PULL THE FOOT OUT OF HIS MOUTH NOW THAT GEORGIA"S PRESIDENT CALLED HIM OUT ON HIS BS SO CALLED STRAIGHT TALK . HE JOHNNY ARE YOU GETTING IN YOUR A4 BOMBER AND GOING TO HELP OUT YOUR JET_SKI BUDDY ?????

Today McBush's pal, The President of Georgia whom McBush has gone boating with overseas. Said that McBush's statement "Today we are all Georians" were nice words but that he needs actions not words. Unfortunatly for him. Words are all that McBush has. He never had any authority to back up his tough talk. All he was doing was grand standing and trying to look tough for the voters. Old Man Yells at Clouds is all bluff and no substance. Georgia will do better to rely on Sarkozy who flew immediatly to Russia to confront Putin.

War Monger McCain! The reason this is happening is because of the Bush doctrine! The saber rattling is now being paid back! How can Bush, with the full backing of McCain, tell the Russians they can't invade Georgia, a sovereign nation, when he just invaded Iraq?? Where the hell is the credibility! The world does not need another WAR! McCain is the past, bomb bomb bomb Iran, remember? GET OVER IT! Please elect Obama!!!

how many terrorist attacks have we had since 9/11? how long do you think it will be before there's another one if sen Hollywood gets elected? those terrorist are deadly afraid of speech makers right?

Yet John McCain fully supports George Bush's unprovoked and illegal attempted occupation and colonialization of Iraq in order to control its oil and build 58 permanent bases…..over 1.2 MILLION Iraqis have died as a result! How dare EITHER man lecture Russia after Georgian troops spearheaded the initial attack, NOT Russia. Bush and McCain are the epitome of hypocrisy.

People forget that Georgia and other countries along Russia's southern border including the Ukraine were part of Russia for hundreds of years prior to the breakup of The Soviet Union. These are not countries like Poland, Hungary, Romainia, and other States like the Baltic States that the Russians occupied sfter World War 2.
If they want to reoccupy these States that they held for hundreds of years then that is Russia's business not the United States whose only aim is to grab Russian oil.
Well Russia is no longer weak but again a strong military power with around 10,000 hydrogen bombs.
If the United States keeps sticking its nose into Russia's business
they are going to start a nuclear war. Russia could drive the price of gas in the United States to $10.00 a gallon overnight.

Everyone talks about Obama being a novice and new to all of this, the exact same smere campaigns that were said about JFK and Ronald Reagon…

DR. YES August 13th, 2008 2:45 pm ET

and what about the 2000? people of tskhinvali,mccain?why were they killed?you dont have anymore info than anyone else except for your lobbyist buddy,scheuneman.mccain may have had more to do with this than we'll ever know.probably trying to SCARE up a few more votes.

Do you really think McCain had something to do with Russia Invading Georgia. The dems posting hear are zealots. Just as bad as terrorists. This is the same way that terrorists get people to think that America waged war on Islam not terror. Repubs have stopped posting hear for the most part thanks to zealots like you. You will twist the truth until it fits your views and when someone calls you on it you will run and hide. I have posted questions to so many of you zealots and i never get an answer. Questions like, if we go with the Obama plan and increase the minimum wage will it drive more companies over sees?
No one answers!!!

So go look up Zealots and figure out what I am calling you and then try to answer the question.

I think it's a little too convenient how this "unforseen" conflict happened in the middle of the presidential election. Iraq war is too messy, so we needed something else to shift the public's attention from Iraq. This is all a big conspiracy between Georgia and the US. The US needs a "real reason" to hate Russia, so they don't have to use diplomacy – it's harder – to persuade Russians to talk to Iran for us.

Just bomb bomb bomb everyone, it's easier than talking. Apparently.

Sickening.

Come on McChicken…. send troops to Georgia. They need deeds not words. SEND TROOPS to defend a US ally. Georgia sent trooops to Iraq to help the US, so McChicken send combat troops to Georgia, or just shut-up with your rhetoric and grandstanding.

McChicken…. not in '08

The Georgia situation is beginning to look like another inside Republican political stunt. On one hand the U.S. encourages the helpless Gregorian President to advance his country's interest into the separatist areas. Was there no thinking about a Russian military response? Such a response serves the McCain campaign's interests as he needs a military crisis to sell his perceived value even if it reflects a Cold War/Cheney/Bush mentality. Of course, having a lobbyist doing business with Georgia helps to stage the drama. Rove's recent vacation (rather then testify in Congress) into the Balkans also raises eyebrows. The Georgia/Russia story has a strong stench of deep U.S. instigation.

McCain to reporter: "I don't think"

Atleast he admits it.

Does Obama support or oppose President Bush’s decision to dispatch humanitarian aid to Georgia?

Nobody knows, ask him you'll hear some wishy washy terms.

2004 Bush used Osama Bin Laden as his fear card. McCain old @$$
is still stuck in the cold war era so he's using this as his fear card. Next he'll be saying the Russian will be marching down the streets of America…FEAR, FEAR, FEAR…And my friends so many of you fall for it everytime stop blaming politicians for the tricks they play…Because people eat it up!!!. McCain and his nation building crew (IRI) are the ones at fault here of course no one wants to say that and at tax payers expense…

Wheres the story CNN ??? CNN and others have remained mute on McCain and this group why??

see the movie, "OBSESSION". Go to OBSESSIONTHEMOVIE.COM

Do yourself a favor. This is a must see for ALL Americans. It answered my questions about Bush, McCain and Obama as I am sure it will answer yours.

it will if you keep being a retard and trying to incite a repeat!

McCain must have had the staff reading the blogs this morning.

Yesterday it was Putin was trying to bring back the Russian Empire…but today after people didn't respond to it, it's

"Um, Uh, well, I don't think it's going to lead to another Cold War…"

McCain left himself some wiggle room with saying, "I DONT THINK"

Back-off McCain. I'm not your friend and not Georgian. Let Russia and Georgia solve their differences and quit being such a trigger happy war-mongerer.

McCain "strongly" supports every decision Bush has ever made!
We need to change the way American's do things.
Obama 08

No…IT wont, but YOU sure will, hahaha.

Marc, maybe he's actually getting the facts before he goes off at the mouth, Oh my god that would be UNTHINKABLE!!!

The "cold war" lasted for decades, thus McCain would most probably not experience it until it ends in 2050.

I agree – we DO need someone that thinks and that intelligent man is Obama.

No More wars. No to McCain

Obama '08

I am not sure McCain or this administration should really begin talking about human rights violations when it comes to war. That mighty finger you point can be turned right back around at you.

Because McCain has such a strong record of being against unprovoked invasions of sovereign nations.

WHY DON'T WE JUST PUT OBAMA IN THE BETWEEN RUSSIA AND GEORGIA AND HE CAN RESOLVE THE CONFLICT WITH HIS WORDS.

TELL ME WHAT IS OBAMA DOING OTHER THAN BEING INDECISIVE ABOUT HIS POSITION AND COPYING MCCAIN 4 DAYS AFTER MCCAIN RELEASED A STATEMENT? Paris HILTON I THINK WOULD HAVE DONE BETTER IN THIS SITUATION.

IF the USA offers to accept the TWO S Ossetian referenda to gain their freedom and independence, and THEN if Russia does not 'lighten up' America wourd THEN have the moral high ground.
Tibet = S Ossetia!!!
As long as the USA backs the annexation of S Ossetia by the minority Georgians, it is like backing China over Tibet!
REPORT ON THE REFERENDA!

McSame got his card pulled and came up short. Bush even told him to shut his mouth
McSame and Bush have not done anything. The Russians are having their way with Georgia and Georgia is calling for help and you talk tough but take no action. In other words your card has been pulled and now it's time to show COWBOY. Our troops are spread so thin that we can't do anything to help them. Ok McSurge go surge on Georgia to stop the Russians. Saddam went into Kuwait and you sent in the military to stop him, so why don't you send in the boys to stop the Russians. America looks like COWARDS to the rest of the world because we run in to fight against the little guys but when it comes to the big dogs we want to run to the U.N.
McSame, you said that you know how to win a war well I would like to know what war have you won? Talk is cheap MY FRIEND.
We are watching Bush/McSame

Hey, McMoron, news flash for you; I'M AN AMERICAN NOT A GEORGIAN!!!

Now, McCain's predicting the future! Why did't he predict the "Housing market slide" and me losing my job; for me; maybe I wouldn't be on the verge of losing my "dream home"!

McCain said he “strongly” supports Bush’s position.

Now there's a big surprise!

McWarmonger – you have agreed with Bush on almost everything.

We DO NOT need a Bush 3rd term. We need an intelligent man like Obama that actually can think and know the Constitution and diplomacy.

Obama '08

Mccain=World War III

A Cold War is not the big worry. A Very Hot Thermonuclear War is my concern. If the hyper aggressive McWar had his way. Georgia would be a member of NATO and America would now be at war with Russia. Thank God the European Allies have cooler heads and were able to see that Georgia with it's ongoing border disputes was not yet a stable enough nation to place under the NATO/Nuclear Deterent umbrella. Then again, with Oil Corporations pushing McBush to protect the Georgian Oil Pipeline and a paid Lobby member of Georgia as a part of the McBush campaign team. Intellect and moral courage are not what is driveing the McBush tough guy act on Georgia,

Please Shut Up McCain.. Our Horrible president can speak for this….. not you ………and please get you Fact straigght. Georgia started this conflict

When countries lack competent leadership, the world has to deal with war and oppression. Let's not forget John Mccain's 28 years of experience and decision making which helped us get where we are today: war, recession, $9 trillion debt, banking collapse, housing crisis, gas prices, increasing poverty, illegal immigration, health care crisis, collapsing infrastructure, rising illiteracy, government corruption and factory closings.

Russia believes that might makes right don't kid yourself that this is not a test run. if Russia gets away with it, then be prepared to welcome the Soviet union back. those of us that are old enough, remember well what the doves and pacifiers cost the world when Russia did this the last time. why is it, that the same people who let the bad element in their neighborhood are the first to cry for others to help them when the infestation becomes to much to bear.is it not better for America and it's allies to try and prevent this from happening now, then be forced into a much bigger conflict later on.Russia will not make the same mistake of imploding this time.

What the Obama camp needs to point out is that the United States can do little in this situation because George Bush has weakened our armed forces by waging a foolish war in Iraq, a war that John McCain supported. Talk about wretched judgment.

1st. of all Georgia invaded territories that were protected by Russia. so they started the conflict and Georgia killed thousands in these territories. 2nd Why is CNN not reported that MCCain top forgien policy paid advisor is also a lobbyist for the Georgian government and has recieved more than 200,000 just this year from that Government. McCain is not an honest broker in this situation. why do you think Georgias president is call in McCain out personally, because he knows mcCain owes him one or I mean 200,000.

McCain looks at the Russian PM, Putin and says he only sees three things when he looks at him, K-G-B.

Russia claims to be withdrawing but keeps attacks while Bush & McCain send negotiators.

In order to protect a UN country, MCain wants to send aid inside of Russia.

For those that don't remember the Cold War that was pretty much how things worked for decades. Attempts by America to liberate countries; Soviets advancing is small steps on nations, we talk, send limited aid, call one another names, and beat our chests.

The aid thing is good and a strong stance is welcomed. However, I don't see McCain wanting to get directly involved with the Russian who are the aggressors. Seems that Obama's approach is more direct and does so without a lot of name calling and ego making.

Someone must have reminded McCain he was not the President…hmmmm looks like he is taking a more appropiate stance but that does not excuse his over stepping his bounds yesterday.

How about human rights violations cited by the Red Cross against the US for Guantanamo? Look at yourself before being a hypocrite…

How long dp the republicans think they can fool the Americans? McCain says we must show support for the little country. BS. He means we must protect oil interests there. The oil companies paid employes disguised as republicans are willing to sacrifice more of our young men to maintain their oil domination. I really do not hate McCain and am willing to give him the benifit of the doubt, but believe me he is treading on extremely dangerous ground. If one shot is fired at us or one shot fired at Russia and world war 3 will start. Remeber world war 2 China was not on our side! The Corean war,,China was not on our side. It realy didn't matter much then, because the Chinese were still plowing with oxen. Today, thanks to Bush, they are one of the most powerful nations on earth. They need oil, and lots of it! If we start a war, they will join the Russians and both of them have nuclear weapens and the ability to deliver them right to our door. Dont for gods sakes let the oil barons destroy America!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

McCain needs a surge against Russia, so he can hide Surge II against Iraq. The lug nuts, who believe the Petreus, rhymes with precarious, surge was a success, will believe that splurge 2 will be a success too. DUHMBEST!
My firends , the surge was a great success,,, (looking at prompter) but it did not achieve the conditions (looking at propmpt) on the ground for a total ( prompt) so Pet (prompt) reus and I are going to another succesful surge…
my friends surge NOW surge here! and surge (prompt) NOW
I now how to do surges my friends

DON'T KNOW HOW THE BUSH-MCBUSH

ADMINISTRATION IS COMPLAINING ABOUT

THE RUSSIAN INVASION OF GEORGIA.

THEY JUST WANT THEIR OWN SURGE.

Marc PDX, Obama's on vacation right now. That's why he's "quiet". And the Obama wanted 6 debates, McCain didn't, so they settled on the traditional 3 debates.

Check your facts. Spreading lies about your political oppenent is so 2004, people know how to use Google and YouTube now.

Someone in his campaign has told McCain that his cowboy rhetoric is not going well with voters,and apparently McCain is toning down. Can we say another FLIP/FLOP.

McWarmonger was totally out of line using the Russian-Georgian crisis as a political tool to imitate how tough he is.

The only thing McStupid did was demonstrate the level of his arrogance by attempting to "one-up" Obama, he decided to ignore the protocol of letting the sitting President by the official spokesperson for America.

Even Bush-43 was waiting on more 'intel' before making a measured response.

So, once again Bush-43 proves he's smarter than McStupid.

The Republicans think they had a problem with the Bush-Chaney Administration, if they don't stop McArrogant now, he will 'talk' the US into another war front, one American citizens don't want, can't afford, and has nothing to do with solving the Housing, Job, and Economic crisis here at home.

Say Yes to America by saying 'NO' to McCain!

McLame WANTS a return to the cold war because that's where his mind-think is stuck at – in the '60s. His comments about not wanting to return to cold war footing with Russia are contradicted by his belicose saber rattling at Russia. Want a cold war? Then vote for McLame…

PS: Hey, GOP Supporter – Quit your whining. McLame is only getting lambasted because the old dude deserves it. Thinking, no BS Americans are simply pointing out the obvious – Mclame is lame, unless of course you're one of his kool-aid drinkers who thinks he knows everything about everything 'cause he's over 70.
Here's a news flash for you – According to McLame he has done everthing and seen everything – problem is he's having problems remembering anything…

McCain – McWar – McDraft!!

Lol….Mccain makes me laugh everytime he talks….He is still in the vietcong era…dude its 2008 not 1970….there is not one thign they can do to russia. They are second biggest oil producer, have nukes, and can block any UN resolution on IRAN…so stop sounding like a fool

Georgia started this whole thing anyway, they rolled the dice…they paid for it…then bush talks about respecting laws and illegal invasion..bla bla…Isn't that what he did in Iraq?

McCain no one cares what you think. You haven't had a diplomatic thought in your life. While you were talking tough and advocating aggression against Russia the French were quietly mediating the conflict and switfly brought about a cease fire. That, my friend, makes you look stupid, hawkish and foolish.

Actually the less Obama says the better he does…

(That's why he won't debate any more than the minimal requirement of 3. Hillary exposed that weakness and he did learn that lesson… good judgement there!)

Yes. STRONGLY SUPPORTS BUSH in this case. I think that's the right thing to do.

What does Obama's plans say, send NO humanitarian aid, both parties talk responsibly?

Shhhh! Obama has gone into hyper-judgement mode (that's why it's so quiet over there right now). Any moment now the magical ability of superior judgement will come bursting forth. Stand back!

SURGE!!! SURGE!!! SURGE!!! SURGE!!! SURGE!!! SURGE!!! SURGE!!! SURGE!!! SURGE!!! SURGE!!! SURGE!!! SURGE!!! SURGE!!! SURGE!!! SURGE!!! SURGE!!! SURGE!!! SURGE!!!

This must be his response to the "Deeds, not words" request from Georgia. It turns out McCain tough talk was just talk.

And they criticize Obama's "words." Well Obama actually thinks before he speaks, so his "words" mean a little bit more to me.

GOP Supporter,

War put you into these trying times…you will get more of the same from McCain. Your economy will get you before "terrorist" ever will.

talk about being in lockstep with loser bush. mcbush parrots everything the current administration does.

They have NO credibilty on judgment or truth on this Russian invasion or the war in Iraq, which they started for oil, while lying to the world about WMD's.

Kendall and many others are absolutely correct in my opinion. Within two years of a McCain presidency, headlines will be flooded with talks of a national draft. This is urgent my fellow Americans!!! WE MUST PREVENT A MCCAIN PRESIDENCY!!!! And that doesn't happen here on these blogs (we all come here for reinforcement and comradery). We've got to get out into our communities (work, home, play, etc.) and discuss these issues with those who are not as informed/engaged as we are in the blogs. Many people don't have enough information to make the decision that most of see is clear.

Jeremy & George – why don't you two idiots get out of this country? People like you just have no place here. Just because McCain was asked for help by the Georgian president, does NOT mean he wants war. You two draft dodgers are just plain chicken!

Mccain voted with Bush 95% of the time and now in this campaign all he does is agrees with Bush on anythng he say our does Mccain=Bush this is not the person we want running our Country.

In order to capitalize on this event and display strenght ,it is clear this has been the biggest miscalculation by Mc Cain, and might be irreparably damaging for his presidential bid. You can argue that his 'scare tactics' painting Obama as a 'dangerous' choice has somehow worked with some of the voters, but he has probably here subliminally raised an even scarier prospect, nuclear war and make himself a lot more 'dangerous' in the eyes of many of his own supporters or leaners.

Mc Cain and his campaign just realized it and is trying now to undo the damage, but it's too late…

DO THE RUSSIANS KNOW, MCMORON

MADE "PUTIN PRESIDENT OF GERMANY" ?

GOP supporter August 13th, 2008 2:57 pm ET

Will you guys quit picking on the Republican candidate just because he's a Bush successor!! Let's support the candidate that helps our country during these very trying times. Experience and knowledge need to rule.

McCain supporter August 13th, 2008 2:58 pm ET

We really need a complete and utter novice like Obama leading the country when a crisis like this happens.
_____________________________________________________

What a pair of tools, Bush is an idiot, McCain supported Bush between 90-95% of the votes this means that McCain is an idiot. For those who say experiance is needed I would ask what experiance? Bad experiance, if you are too foolish to learn from it (say like having NINE planes shot out from under you or voting for a war for no good reason or singing Bomb Bomb Bomb Iran) is worse than no experiance at all. Good judgement, however, over-rides experiance every time. So a fool who has only bad experiance (can you say Keating five?) is worse than an inexperianced person with good judgement.

To counter the comment I often hear about when hiring someone you look for the person with experiance I simply say most innovative growing companies look for the person who can think outside the box, who is not weighed down with out of date thoughts and practices, someone who has judgement. In the 70s & 80s IBM (Big Blue) had the "experiance" they had the "understanding" they decided to stay out of the personal computer business because there was no market for it… Microsoft on the other hand, no experiance, no history just good judgement.. now which do YOU think is the most sucessful?

Things younger than John McCain:
ALF
Howdy Doody
Area Codes
FM Radio
Peanut Butter & Jelly Sandwiches
Automatic Car Transmissions

Vote for a presidential candidate NOT endorsed by the worst president in American history!

McCain was a traitor in Vietnam!!

His foreign policies are based on Wikipedia!!

Ask Cheney, Rumsfeld and Ashcroft how valuable experience is!!

Get off my lawn!!!

Kendall—-Your so right, I've been thinking that for months now…If your between the ages of 18-32?….If you vote for McWar…LOOK-OUT

you guys are morons to block my comments… 4000 dead in Iraq,,, how many dead by wrongly going after Russia…
Free S Ossetia and it's solved.

He just wont to go too war old fool

MCSAME WOULD LOVE NOTHING BETTER

THAN TO LAUNCH ANOTHER ROUND OF

AN ICE COLD WAR, WITH ANYONE HE CAN.

MAN IS OUT OF WHAT'S LEFT OF HIS SENILE MIND.

To the GOP Supporter Comment: When you find that experience and kowledge need to rule………….would appreicate it if you would share that information with the rest of the viewers.

Guys please stop pickin on Bush….Its not McCains fault we hate the Bush Policies that McCain will continue.

McCain supporter – We really need a complete and utter novice like Obama leading the country when a crisis like this happens.

You are right. We do need Obama during a crisis like this. One who is capable of thinking things through before making stupid and vapid statements like "we are all Georgians" . A person who does not have cold-war flashbacks to a war he wished he had won.

Yes we need a man like Obama.

Good call, never thought I would agree with a McCain supporter.

Just goes to show you. McShame is joined at the hip with Bushy. And by the way McShame, I'm no Georgian, I'm American. Don't give away my citizenship….Remember what your buddy Misha said this morning, enough words, show some action. Oh I forgot, you're not the President, so you can't do anything. Moron!!!!!!!!!!1

The fact that McCain does not know how to use a computer is a clear indication that he is from a period long gone. His response to the conflict in Georgia is also from the past. Simply put, everything about McCain is old. Now it's time to move to a more progressive and futuristic leadership.
At the end of the day, if John McCain strength is foreign policy, then all I can say is "God help America."

We need to unify ourselves and support whoever happens to be President when they are speaking out about supporting one of our allies. Regardless of party–Bush represents all Americans–and all Americans should support his chastisement of this kind of aggression against one of our allies.

"Okay, so AFTER he preempted the official U.S. response with inflamatory statements made for personal political gain, now he “'strongly' supports Bush’s position".
Should we put a loose cannon in the White House? I think not!"

Yes Mikey, he has to step back now because of the Logan Act.
He could get into a lot of trouble with that mouth of his.

IN THE OLDEN DAYS OF REAL REPUBLICAN PATRIOTS

IF OUR LEADERS WERE MORE CONCERNED WITH THE

WELLBEING OF OTHER NATIONS, AT THE EXPENSE OF

OUR OWN NATION, WE CALLED THEM TRAITORS.

He sure is pushing for it. His answer to everything is war,bomb,war,bomb.

This old man needs to shut up he is making me sick I can wait until November to see this iditot disappear.

Hate,hate,hate,now McCain will want to boom,boom,boom Russia.

I will sell a "GI John action figure" soon and cut our deficit in half by the time I take office.Yes and I approved this ad.

This points out my largeswt concern with Mr. McCain: I have served with too many officers during my 21 years in the Navy that do not understand the simple idea that just because you disagree with someone they are NOT your enemy. Mr. McCain's response to this situation shows that even with a large body of experiance behind you it is judgement that is important. His off the cuff threatening and belicose words contrast poorly against Mr. Obama's more reasoned approach. While some may argue that Mr. Obama's approach was to wait and talk with his advisors and that this shows a weakness I would argue the this shows a strength. Mr. McCain, some would argue, showed leadership by immediately responding in a strong manner. I would respectfully disagree I feel it shows a knee jerk reaction, that while piloting a war plane is a plus, is a negative in a leader. I personally feel that Mr. Obama's slower reasoned approach to a subject that he has no power to act on right now, is the more appropriate response. The military mind, and those who are "blindly patriotic to our country (if not our ideals) (by the way this does not mean the military is blindly patriotic to our country many support our ideals over our government) think America's power resides in our Military and that a strong military offense is a strong defense. I disagree, I feel America's power is in our culture and our ideals, the military is there simply to support those ideals. The oath of the military is to the Consitution, to defend IT against all enemies forgien and domestic, and to follow the orders of those appointed over you AS LONG AS THEY DO NOT CONFLICT WITH THE CONSTITUTION. I spent 21 years in the Military one thing they taught us is that an UNLAWFUL ORDER, ie one that conflicts with the Constitution, SHOULD NOT BE FOLLOWED and that if you do follow it you are open to charges. Unfortunately many officers I dealt with forget that and try to force obediance and think they are due obediance, Mr. McCain reminds me of some of those officers.

Americans need to wake up from what seems to be an eternal slumber with an incompetent and bad luck President.

Sending military aircraft into Georgia will only inflame the situation.

Are Americans forgetting that Russia is NUCLEAR-ARMED? lol

Bush is behaving like the maniac muslims: He's taking the US on a suicide mission, daring the Russians to bomb Georgia's airport and blockade the ports.

John

I am not Georgian nor will I ever be (nothing against the state of Georgia).. I am First and Foremost an American and Arizonan (native Arizonan in fact).. You can stand with Georgia if you want to, I will stand with America!! I will support America first John, not like your weasel friend Libelman who supports Israel first!.. And John, you DO NOT speak for me!! Stand with America John.. You know the your home country, oh wait you were born in the Panama Canal..

McCain supporter. A vote for McCain will mean WW3.. If you want that. go ahead make that choice!

GOP Supporter.. Where in the Constitution does it say Experience and Knowledge are needed to be President??? No where I can see of!!

WOW. I am a little confused. Who is suppose to be the experience one in foreign affairs. Can someone please tell me what has he done to squash any conflict in the world. And, also, he keeps saying he knows how to win wars. What war has he won?

What will be Obama solution to the Russian/Georgia? Feel good hugs all around and asking the two warring parties to CHANGE their feelings towards one another. Don't need a leftist Wimp in the WH.

It is clear now that we lost the Cold War because we had no influence over the philosophies that exist in Russia, as too will be the fate of Iraq. War is useless, a temporary fix.

McCain butt out. We don't need your 'rabble rousing' in the midst of this crisis. Dangerous talk, my friend.

I get very concerned when you start talking about an 'empire'. Your lack of diplomacy is astounding. What are you going to do? Kick them out of the G-8? Is that really America's decision? There are 7 other members of the the G-8, my friend.

Also, your reference to 'civilized' yesterday has me concerned as well.
Is it 'civilized' to 'waterboard enemy combatants'?

The WAR mongering GOP has NO credibility left, my friend.

You are a DISGRACE. Throughout your campaign for President you have done nothing but talk about WAR.

The USA does not need another WAR BUZZARD for President.

Now McStooge is trying to take his foot out of his mouth, which he put in his mouth yesterday, "WE ARE ALL GEORGIAN TODAY" and "RUSSIA WANTS TO REBUILT THE RUSSIAN EMPIRE." He sounds like his stooge buddy Bush.

It’s time for CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN America.

Obamanation ‘08

His adviser scheunamann make killing money from Georgia. Mccain needs to be investigated he is hiding something, talking about Georgia day in and day out there must be something for him and his lobbiest.

GOP Supporter, since when is being a lousy pilot, POW, and Admiral's son make you a 'war hero'. McCain cheated on his first wife, almost got booted out of the academy except for his Admiral father saving him, and he was a crook as part of the Keating 5. He has ZERO experience COMMANDING or leading.

He cheated on his wife and married a rich cheerleader and his new father-in-law got him into politics…..similar to Bush….

These guys have no clue what they are doing!! Its not going to re-ignite the cold war. It is going to start a direct HOT war that had been avoided by leaders of both countries for fear of mutual destruction. But these NeoCon Idiots dont realize that if you go to war directly with Russia, it is a loss for the US because our army is stuck in two other countries and cannot possible regroup for this effort. With Russia more heavily invested in Georgia, the US has neither the resources nor the will to follow through with this.

Georgia started the current situation between themselves and Russia.

Both Bush and McCain initially made statements condeming Russia for invading a soveriegn nation. This was just them putting their mouths in gear a day before they engaged their brains.

What I mean about this is the rest of world just laughed at their statements as being the pot calling the kettle black. Now at least neither of them mentions anything about a country invading another country as they finally figured out what they were saying was so ridiculous.

The problem the U.S. has with these two characters is neither of them has any respect world wide and no one listens to people they don't respect and that is a fact.

McCain's camp got bent all out shape because so many people around the world came out to listen to him. WHY? Because he has some respect. If this doesn't tell Americans something then I guess you'll end up getting what you deserve.

Peter you or your moderator are such a coward not to post my bloggs. As a twenty year veteran from vietnam to the first persian gulf war I am a shame that people like you or her?him could not be drafted and learn why we fight wars and one reason is the freedom of speech or to express those thoughts no matter how much we might disagree with them. Such a coward . Could it be because I don't agree with your love for Obama. You should be fired.

MCMORON RUSHING TO THE AID OF

EVERYONE BUT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE,

AND WITH OUR TAX DOLLARS. HIS FOREIGN

POLICY CONSISTS OF GIVING OUR MONEY AWAY,

GETTING OUR CHILDREN KILLED & RUINING OUR ECONOMY.

What an IDIOT! And to think that this man has people who would vote for him. Oh, wait, there are a lot of IDIOTS in the USA. They elected Bush twice! Have they learned anything?

Hear ye, hear ye, here is the real Panamanian McCain:

John McCain's chief foreign policy adviser and his business partner lobbied the senator or his staff on 49 occasions in a 3 1/2-year span while being paid hundreds of thousands of dollars by the government of the former Soviet republic of Georgia (Yost, P.)

McCain: Putin wants 'to restore the old Russian empire'

Takes one to know one no? The GOP wants 'to hold on the power of the oil empire' at the expense of the redneck base?

^^^^^^
McCain will select all his paid lobbvists to fill diplomat roles!
Obama has the judgement to select a team of professional diplomats to staff the State Dept. We have a shoe shopping and piano playing, current Sect'y of State whose specialty is Russian studies and look where we are…NO WHERE!

I disagree with you here McCain. Russia will ultimately re-absorb all break-away republics it lost as a result of the break-up of the USSR. And the realities are that the West is absolutely impotent to do anything about it – without nuclear catastrophie of course. The West, and primarily the U.S. has finally been exposed for the paper tiger it is. And of course this is the result of unchecked liberal policy!

McCain is tempering his overzealous comments over the past few days so as not to appear too gun-ho about the possibility of a cold war. If you looked into his bag of tricks, about the only thing you'd find in there would be War, Fear, Draft, Negativity, and a big fuzzy thing – oh, that's his memory.

Maybe one of the reasons John McCain seems so concerned about the Russia/Georgia conflict is the fact that his campaign foreign policy advisor, Randy Scheunemann and his lobbying firm, lobbied on behalf of Georgia over 49 times in 3.5 years in Congress, raking in over $800,000. Of couse the typical McCain attack claims that Senator Obama is trying to politicize the issue.

Again, the old adage that once a philandering crook, always a philandering crook proves to be true.

McCain and his buddy Bush are either hypocrites or don't know history, or both. Why was it ok for the US to invade and/or bomb Serbia, Grenada, Panama and Iraq to protect US citizens, but its not ok for Russia to invade South Ossettia to protect Russian citizens after the Georgians started attacking them? Why was it ok for the US to support the independence of the break away Kosovo province, but its not ok for Russia to support independence for South Ossettia? And for all his bluster about Georgia being Christian with an oil pipeline, McCain is certainly old enough to remember that Joesph Stalin was from Georgia. Geez, give me a break here guys, and at least be intellectually honest instead of merely pushing your own political agendas.

So John "The Inept One" McCain makes a "bold" comment: "We are all Georgians"…nice words…Now the president of Georgia who thinks the words mean something is calling McCain out to help him. McCain, of course can't do squat and looks like a buffoon…and he makes the U.S. look like a buffoon.

Typical of McCain for not choosing his words carefully…..

Next thing he will be singing "Bomb Bomb Bomb Moscow".

Another thing, no one is mentioning the fact that Georgia started this whole mess with genocide on South Ossetia citizens….

Georgia is pro-Western…but unfortunately, has done some very 'eastern European bad things….like genocide'

As much what Russia did was over the top and outrageous….Georgia did start it…..

"We really need a complete and utter novice like Obama leading the country when a crisis like this happens."

We are making these crises!!!

Oilmen and soldiers are inventing the world to suit their identities. In terms of constructing a vision for a post-petroleum, high-tech US, and inspiring people to move towards it – Obama has much more demonstrated experience that McCain has.

Applying McCain's experience to the 21st century is like touting the Maytag repairman's 30 years of service has he wonders where to use his pipe wrench to fix your Macintosh.

He's lost, and everything he touches gets worse.

Of course the Right-Hand-Bush-Man McCain stongly supports BUSH. We get the McCain = Bush part already.

It's sure going to be nice once Bush and McCain are out of the spotlight. Bush, with all the bad decisions he has made already, he really should step aside and let someone else handle this situtation with Georgia, you know, someone who has common sense and good judgment. Don't trust Bush or McCain's judgment, they have already shown not to sport these necessary traits to make critical decisions.

I just found out that one of the heads of McCain's campaign is a major lobbyist for the Republic of Georgia. He was paid several hundred thousand dollars to lobby Senator McCain to support Georgia, and no doubt some of that money has found its way into McCain's campaign.

This totally obliterates any objectivity Senator McCain has on this issue. He's war mongering because he feels he owes Georgia.

McCain is the scariest guy on the planet right now. How anybody with any feeling for our country can vote for this two faced typical washington lobby money taking insider is worse than crazy, its criminal.

McCain should be under investigation for taking so much lobby money and how its influencing his campaign and his Senate career.

I'm so sick of the same old political games McCain and his good old boys play.

We know John McSame supports George Dubya 95% of the time; but here is another 5%!

pot trying to run away from kettle!

HERE WE GO PEOPLE….

This is EXACTLY what EVERYONE in this blog has been saying for weeks.

WE are headed into another WORLD WAR III!

IF this doesn't WAKE the American People UP, I don't know what will.

George W. Bush is going to start ANOTHER WORLD WAR with Russia and John McCain is ignorantly "FUELING" the fire for another COLD WAR!!!

HOW many more of our young military members are going to be killed over these two idiots that think of nothing but WAR!! WAR!!! WAR!!! Russia is nothing to play with and right NOW our armed forces are NOT READY for another WAR, bottom line. We've been stretch to the limits.

Are you willing to sacrifice your sons and daughters ALL over again?

Careful McTuffguy …….all Russia has to do is whisper Iraq into your ear

Yeah, way to backtrack McCain, talking about Russian Empire? This guy is off his rocker and needs to retire. It is clear to anyone listening to him what is on his mind — war, war, and more war. Period.

Obama/Sebelius 2008/2012.

America's role as the "rescue squad" on call 24/7 to response to every conflict that errupts in the world is over and McCain has the slightest idea of what Russia's action will bring or be forthcoming. I learned in Vietnam that sending the Seceretary of State when a physical conflct or invasion is occuring……..well, it is like watching files have intercourse….no effect to the viewer, but tremendous action for the flies.

Now McCain falls behind Bush. Obama was there from the start.

No doubt that both candidates received a security briefing on the situation as it unfolded. Briefings that came from the White House. I wonder if they were received at the same time, and contained the same information.

I apologize for sounding paranoid or crazy by asking that question. But, I would not put anything past the current administration.

No will NOT quit picking on the Republican candidate as long as he contintues to make a joke out of us Americans. He's starting a war that he can't finish. We have depleted our military resources and funds… his threats to Russia doesn't carry any weight!!! It's funny that he's so eager to support the country of Georgia, but yet isn't concerned about the US economy! Actually, that's not funny… it's down right pathetic!!!!!! That's McCain and the GOP for you!

It's a step in that direction though. That combined with the damage Bush Inc. has done to U.S. – Russian relations over the last eight years certainly is cause for concern.

We should stay out of this mess … but these war-mongers can't help themselves … it is all they know.

If McCain is elected President prepare for at least 4 more years of war … that is the only guarantee with him.

Where's Obama??

Proud Obamacan here. McCain, his entanglements with lobbyists, imperialistic thinking, and lousy economic policies are something this nation cannot afford. Voting Obama to return reason to America.

what a difference a day makes

I firmly believe this man has lost his bearings, his memory and his integrity. Obviously their polling must indicate that his bellicose comments of yesterday weren't sitting well as he said the complete opposite yesterday.

Before, I just thought McCain was a silly man tied to the last century; his responses to this crisis however his erratic, conflicting behaviour have convinced me that he is very, very dangerous.

I hope CNN is going to do an overview of the conflicting statements that this candidaye has been spewing since Friday.

After the things that John McCain has said publicly about Russia and their leaders, why would the Russians want to work with him?

John McCain is an old fool.

McCain cheif advisor is a lobbyist for Georgia. CNN please report this and the article

DID MCSENILE TELL THE RUSSIANS THAT HE

APPOINTED PUTIN PRESIDENT OF GERMANY?

Now that the Georgian President has challenged McCain to move "from words to deeds" I'd love to hear McCain's plan……………………waiting……..

I used to like you John, I considered voting for you in 2000. Now I see you as a pathetic, old fool selling your soul for votes. You are going to lose in November. If you really did love our country, you would lay off the negative attacks and let the voters decide. Obama will need all the help he can get to destroy the Bush Cancer that is eating America!

"McCain said he “strongly” supports Bush’s position."

THIS IS WHY HE IS MCSAME!

Bush let Mikheil Saakashvili think that it was okay to take on Russia by attacking South Ossetia and murdering thousands of civilians, because, hey! That's what HE did during shock and awe to Iraq! News Flash! Two wrongs don't make a right! And the only reason you'd get into a shooting war with Russia is to bring about the Apocalypse before election day. So stuff it, McSame!

very simple…. mccain has a guy who was lobbying for georgia, now, russia does not like democracy, or countrys that make their regime look bad. look, I agreem that something has to be done about this conflict, but shouldn't the european nations do something about it?, i mean what is this WW2 all over again?, now USA has to bail them out, (well this government is pretty darn good at bailing out) so. ok, the UN is just talking about it, right, they can't do anything because russia supplies more that 50% or oil and more than 60% natural gas… so european countries can't do anything to obbsed the russians. So let's put it this way, if the US were not involved in 2 wars, we will be fighting the russians and yep, the whole reagan "starwars" and nuclear drillings in schools would have been happening today, so let's see were we are at, military… running thin and more than a trillion $, so the only thing here that Mccain and bush are proposing is to do the Draft again and send us men and women to fight a war that we have nothing to do with…

the choice is yours…

IT WILL IF MCSLEAZO HAD HIS WAY.

WHAT'S BETTER THAN ANOTHER

WAR, WITH WHICH TO ROB US.

Hi JAck,

no more comments…I am sick of this political pipeline game…just watch who is sitting on the pipeline with his lobbyist friends and who does not want to respect the little sovereign country Ossettia.

so now the old McWAR is backing down on his own tough cowboy talk and supports cowboy bush. how fitting. someone must have told him he is not the president yet so shut-up. i don't think george bush was waiting around to see if john McWar was okay with his decision to send aid before he committed to Georgia.
McWar is so desperate to be some body that i bet he is peeing his pants to get asked for advice. only advice for this joker is go back to sleep old man….cold war is over.

Let's just let Europe handle this. It's about time…they are the EU now and should be able to clean up messes in their own neighborhood.

Stop all of this U.S. intervention globally…we still have troops in Bosnia, Japan, Korea, Germany, Italy, U.K., Iraq, Turkey, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, etc. Why? Is the world really more secure? Is the U.S. more secure? No. We've overextended and spent ourselves into a hole that China now owns. THAT is not security.

Let's "invade" and "occupy" our own country and put the $10billion per month we are spending in Iraq into our own nation building here at home.

This man is losing it!

WOW, BUSH MUST HAVE THUMPED MCCAIN ON THE HEAD AND TOLD HIM HE'S STILL THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES AND HE'D BETTER FALL IN LINE, OR ELSE. MCCAIN FALLS IN LINE AND AS USUAL AGREES WITH BUSH. HOPEFULLY THIS MEANS WE ARE STILL AMERICANS AND NOT GEORGIANS AS MCCAIN SAID.

McCain talks "tough," talks incendiary talk about empire, mispronounces his "good friend's" name, blathers about "courage" — and meanwhile, Sarkozy and the EU are actually working to get things done, along the very diplomatic channels Obama recommended. Btw, CNN, how about telling us how the good people of South Ossetia feel about all this? Who invaded that region first? What is their claim for independence? Why is Georgia refusing it to them, and what drives the US policy towards the region? I mean, how about some actual news here?

McCain needs to just shutup about this conflict and tend to the affairs here in the US. He needs to quit exploiting this issue as a polticial talking point. He is not the POTUS and therefore he needs to leave this matter to the sitting POTUS.

McCain's right and wrong at the same time. Georgia will not re-ignite the cold war. Bush has already lit the pilot light. Now McCain wants to go for full ignition. Can't see the forest for the trees.

McCain is provoking Kremlin every chance he gets. The Defense Missile System Bush/McCain want to install in Eastern Europe is NOT a smart foreign policy move.
Russians are responding very aggressively and told the US they will install their nukes in Cuba. Sounds like a freezing-cold war to me.

Mcwar : Loose Cannon……thinks we are in Attila the Hun days ..when he was 50 yrs old …….

it's johnny mack and war is back.

He is such a War-monger
Why don't we go to war with Iran, China, Russia, Zimbabwe!!

Sick!!

If McCain has anything to do with latest up with Georgia….he is not ever getting into the white house ….ever, never.

OK, enough is enough. It appears that if it weren't for wars, McCain would have nothing left to talk about.

US wars, Russian wars, any old war will do.

Senator? Would you PLEASE focus on your plans for America? You hardly have a solution for the US, let alone Georgia.

Hey mcwar, after we invade Iran, let's do russia too and then north korea, china, oh heck lets just nuke the world! Good Lord, he truly is a warmonger.

Is this what his good friend, the Georgian president, was looking for when he said it's time for action, not words? "I support the president' – wow, John, that's really action we can see. What a maverick. I bet this is just what your friend was hoping for.

We really need a complete and utter novice like Obama leading the country when a crisis like this happens.

STRONGLY SUPPORTS BUSH what else is new with mccain????

Will you guys quit picking on the Republican candidate just because he's a Bush successor!! Let's support the candidate that helps our country during these very trying times. Experience and knowledge need to rule.

We need to look no further than the war in Iraq for a reason why our hands are tied and we are unable to give any meaningful response to this crisis. If McCain wants to play politics with this situation then Obama just needs to keep hammering this fact home. The war in Iraq has weakened us. Militarily, economically, and politically.

People look at the facts. Georgia started this fray and basically challenged Russia thinking the U.S. would step in and scare Russia off on their behalf.

Problem is America has absolutely no moral authority or credibility throughout the world and as such all influence they once had is now gone.

The best that can be hoped for is that the Europeans can stabilize the situation and restore some calm. The fact is sabre rattling and name calling by McCain/Bush/Cheney is a joke and only serves to lower the image of the U.S. throughout the world.

Put a gag on your idiots before they end up completely destroying your country beyond repair.

I don't agre with that. The cold war has been going on for a while now ever since Putin and Bush looked in each others eyes and Putin though boy have I got a fool here.

Is anyone really considering this man for President? He can't recall any of his voting record w/o Cindy, Joe, or Lindsey Graham whispering in his ear. He is itching for a fight with Iran and Russia.

yeah, stand couragously behind Georgia, McCain. they're fighting the proxy test war for you neo-cons. the US has dealt arms to them and so has Israel. and both countries have military advisors over there now as well as mercenaries (Blackwater, DynaCorp). main stream media is not reporting that Russia captured one.

It can't! Russia will shrink, they will soon be just be another little Country; of Europe…

NO, NO, No, McCain. We need to send Barry to Russia to talk with Putin. He'll calm everything down and restore Peace.

Great opportunity for Israel to attack Iran in the coming months. Lots of distractions out there. Who do you want in office when that happens? Obama or McCain? Keep in mind both candidates have promised solidarity with the Jews. Let's see which one throws them under the bus first. I am 100% confident his last name begins with a capital "O".

It is clear Mcwar enjoys wars, he garners his selfesteem from wars. I wonder if he knows the Vietnam war is over, and its now 2008, thanks to him and Bushy, we are in onather war in Iraq, while the terrorists are rising in Afganistan and Pakistan border.

Okay, so AFTER he preempted the official U.S. response with inflamatory statements made for personal political gain, now he “'strongly' supports Bush’s position".

Should we put a loose cannon in the White House? I think not!

He is going to start the draft back as president. I can hear it now, due to situation in the world we are asking for a mandatory draft to fight Russia, Iran, N. Korea and any one else who messes with the U.S.

this man news retirement fast ….he'll bring back the cold war..Just what we need a 3rd war..

McCain said he “strongly” supports Bush’s position.

Wow, who would have guessed that? Par for the course

You dont have any lobbyist ties to Georgia do you McCain?

McCain said he “strongly” supports Bush’s position. Now he is strongly supporting Bush i guess he is no more running away from Bush.Hmmmm………………

Oh good, just what we need a McCain war in Iran and Russia. He's brilliant—NOT.

Obama 08

Yeah right., McCain dreams with the 1960's. He lives in the 60's and the cold war era.

He has an inner desire for vengance from his capture and torture by the communists and that's why he is always fighting for everybody. Those repressed feelings

We do not need an aggressive, repressed vietnam vets with flashbacks as president.

McWar at it again…. China is rising fast…. proud of my home nation. Yup!

You opportunistic man, please don’t make this unfortunate war between two far away countries, something that you cant do a thing about, into a political issue to exploit.
Second, whatever one may think of him, we still have a sitting president and it’s his job to speak.

Okay, is it me or is this guy all over the map with this issue?

and what about the 2000? people of tskhinvali,mccain?why were they killed?you dont have anymore info than anyone else except for your lobbyist buddy,scheuneman.mccain may have had more to do with this than we'll ever know.probably trying to SCARE up a few more votes.

OK. McCain is annoying me now. He says Putin wants to restore the Rissian empire (basically the cold war era). As soon as the Obama campaign calls him to order on his militant approach, he backtracks and says this will not lead to the cold war. What????????????????

USA it seems losing the leadership to Europe and the last crises in Georgia showed clearly. With McCain I am sure USA will lose all.

McCain believes the cold war never ended
