CNN

As a part of the S.A.F.C. They are working as America's colleagues...he is trying to capitalize on them DOING THEIR JOBS, by alluding that it is his Republican friends that are doing this job...while they are Republicans, they are doing this without regards to party, but rather duty...In other words, I don't like his deceiving language on this statement

I think we should elect him president of Georgia, since he thinks we are all Georgians.

our military is already stretch thin as it is already.
Russia is the bully like we were in Iraq

They can STAY over there!

So, I'll post this comment amidst all the hate comments on here. I hope things in Georgia get better, and I'm glad that a country is so appreciative of our support. So, I say, let's help them the best we can and give them our thoughts and prayers.

WHO AUTHORIZED THESE TRIPS AND WHO IS PAYING FOR THEM!! AREN'T THESE SENATORS THE ONES WHO WANT TO GIVE UP THEIR VACTION TO VOTE ON OFF SHORE DRILLING? WHY ARE THEY NOT RETURNING TO THE PEOPLE WHO PUT THEM IN OFFICE WITH SOLUTIONS TO THE TO THE MANY WOES OF BUSH/CHENNEY.

A VOTE FOR MCCAIN IS A VOTE FOR AN EARLY GRAVE FOR ANOTHER AMERICAN SON OR DAUGHTER.

GOD HELP AMERICA

For once I agree with the Senator. Moreover, the Obama campain
should do the same. The Russians who are making a "Sudetenland"
invasion into Georgia is the same that the Soviets did in a "Pact"
with Hitler prior to WW II. Putin has the same mentallity of the Hungery
invasion by his fellow KGB agents in the late 50's.
They ask us if we are with Russia or with Georgia. I say Georgia.
Chamberlain said he had a peace treaty with "Herr Hitler."
"Peace in our time, He proclaimed." Well, we do not have peace with these "Bullies," nor will we have unless Nato, the EU, and others
who will stand up to these xenopists from Russia. The Ukraine will
be next and the Baltic states and Poland will follow. We must stop this
maddness NOW. Bush has been using his fiddle as Georgia burns.
And WHO came with Bush in Iraq? Do we let them be over whelmed?
Put our Senators, Rep's in Georgia with Sec. Rice as a shield. If these bullies (Russians) want to kill someone, let they take the chance in killing our own. Must we ask for anything else. YES, HUMAN shields
of Americans to stand in solidarity with our Brothers and Sisters in Georgia. May we stand against the bullies of Russia.

The minimum our US government can do for a faithful ally who sent troops to Iraq.

What a disgrace the UN and the sheepish response from the Democratic party and Barack Obama. This cowardice from this bunch will be remembered by those at home and abroad.

It's no wonder Putin sees the West as a bunch a panzies.

i swear to god if mccain wins i'm moving to australia. ie. as far away as possible. i'm in toronto, and i'm pretty sure that will still be in range of the fallout when the nukes start landing ...

the election's been fun to watch so far. but now it's just getting scary. mccain makes bush look like a diplomat.

fwiw, canada for obama.

McCain's response to Russia-Georgia conflict = warlike, confrontational

Obama's response to same = balanced, surefooted, peacemaking

Blessed be the peacemakers.

this is all political games...McCain is pushing his credentials as a foreign policy guru, but I really think Bush has this under control (believe it or not)

and we cannot possibly be naive enough to think that diplomacy will solve all our worlds problems. Some people understand only two things: money and guns. And what's diplomacy with these people without some guns to back things up?

And of course it's about oil; if it weren't for oil, we wouldn't give a crap about the middle east or russia or venezuela

McCain is absolutely shameless.

His campaign manager is a paid lobbyist for Georgia, and he carries on about how supportive he is of Georgia. Of course he's supporting. He's sold out to them.

In fact, Georgia actually initiated military activity in these contested areas. McCain and his fans in the mainstream media don't mention that, do they?

And why would such a tiny country have the nerve to poke at the Russian Bear? Maybe they were counting on support from their hired hands inside the US?

When the dust settles and the full story is told, don't be surprised if the Georgia debacle is traced to American right-wingers, egging the Georgians on.

And McCain is the leader of that dangerous pack.

We have to many hands stirring this pot. Do we all have the same message or is this all show for McCain to pretend here cares (Mr. nation builder / spreading democracy all over like fricken John E. Appleseed). So now various groups just head off and get in the middle of other country's conflicts. What happened to diplomacy. Bush is sending troops for humanitarian reason what are the rules of engagement, and if our troops do engage Russia or the Georgians are we at war again??? Bush and McCain are playing the tough cowboy role again . But my 17 year will and your kids will be the ones in the desert or snow not theres.

How do we invade a country kill it's leader allow millions of innocents to perish and now we want to be seen as creditable, Our leaders are hypocritical idiots... (They didn't even take care of other Americans this quick ,people of New Orlean get the picture.

So is John McCain calling the shots for diplomatic relations for the Republican Party now? I thought we only had one president at a time. Where is George Bush, Dick Cheney, Condi Rice? This gives new meaning to Lame Duck. But I digress, the wrong decision was made about the Irqaq invasion that is now a war. Can't afford another ERROR or prolong this one.

Is there a reason CNN has not posted Senator McCain's statement today that "in the 21st century, nations do not invade other nations?"

Nations do not invade nations...in Europe.

Well at least they are not going to wait for 900 plus days. I bet they even wait to see what is really going on before they make a report or decision. Amazing what a little brain power will do.

These comments trying to criticize McCain on his foreign policy experience are so unfortunate. Clearly McCain is on top of this issue and sending a strong response to Russia. That's something you see in true leaders that actually have a backbone and know where they stand.

Obviously Obama is too focused on himself (again) and his vacation in Hawaii to figure out where he stands on this issue. So much for Obama remembering his responsibilities as a member of the U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Relations. Perhaps Obama is just consulting with George Clooney again.

sen mc,bush,rove.Cain
you are a man of war ,you lost in viettnam,inf complex,if you really a man of peace get out of iraq & say it with a loud voice &bomb bomb bomb =HELL
leave the prsidency to who undersand politics,OBAMA,flexing muscles is not safe for Americans

Why is this man acting like the President? I do not want McCain "speaking for the rest of America", and I sure as hell don't want him speaking for me. Vote McCain, ready to lead us into World War III on day one (or sooner).

Oh John.................you are so unimpressive- and PREDICTABLE.

I find it interesting that John McCain's foreign policy adviser was a paid political lobbyist for Georgia and that John McCain and his adviser were over there stirring up trouble that has now come home to roust!

A vote for John McCain is a vote for perpetual war with the hawks finding one enemy after another as long as their military complex profits keep rolling in!

A vote for John McCain is a very dangerous thing indeed! If you love war and economic depression, then John McCain is your man!

Obama was accused of being presumptive President on his recent tour abroad. Look who is talking like a President now. McCain has no business riling Russia other than to bolster his standing with the ultra conservatives. He says he dosesn't want this issue to be political – and that's another joke on his part. He is making these statements for political reasons and has sent his cronies to Georgia for no other reason than to get backing from his base and conservatives who otherwise have lots of issues with him. It would be great if he selected Gov. Ridge to be his running mate – I would love to see what the evangalicals and conservatives would do to him.

Hmmmm, if Obama pulled the same stunt and had two of his senate supporters go to Georgia, I'm sure the current administration would raise complaints that he was interfering with official U.S. matters. At least we know the choices McCain is sending can't do too much harm, nobody listens to them anyway.

mccain appears to be running his own little government,separate from our current administration.his little ruse to 'look' presidential,is about as presumptious as you can get.

What will McCain do while LIEberman is gone? Who will be his surragate in his effort to smear Obama. I hope all Americans are watching closely.....this crazy old man could be our next president.

McCain seems to be overstepping the boundaries as a candidate. It is hard to believe that he has taken positions further to the right than the sitting president on this issue between Georgia and Russia. McCain's saber rattling has come across as lacking appropriate temperament to the point of arrogance. The last thing we need is continued semblance of warmongering in the White House.

I much preferred Obama's temperament and pragmatic approach to this situation.

(CNN) — John McCain said Wednesday that two of his strongest Senate supporters, Lindsey Graham and Joe Lieberman, would be heading to the nation of Georgia in their role as lawmakers, to report back on the conflict in that country.

He is a Senator NOT President.

McCain you are not in charge yet for you to send anyone is steping way overboard and the Republicians talked about Obama.

This is Bush's job and not McSame! He is not the president!

A bit presumptuous for a "nominee" don't you think? To send two of his cronies on his behalf. What a hypocrite!

And why isn't McCain attacked for being "presumptuous" and taking over the duties of a sitting president? Our media is failing us; it is a media of corporations, for corporations, by corporations. If McCain and his two sidekicks aren't the most inept leaders I've ever seen, I don't know who is–at least the Three Stooges were funny; these three are scary.

Let's see.. .his foreign policy advisor has been exposed as a lobbyist for Georgia and this story is plastered all over the AP. And what does CNN do about covering it? NOTHING! Wow, you guys have become the Paris Hilton of the mainstream media. Hello... is anyone there??

McCain is being very presumptive. He is not the president yet. He needs to quit making a critical situation worse. He's just stirring the pot. Nothing but the thought of war makes as happy.

I REALLY don't like the way McCain is handling this Georgia situation. In fact, it's scary and I really think somebody needs to reign him in a bit. HIs reaction is much too reactionary – too similar to Bushs brand of cowboy diplomacy. Unfortunately, we're all lvin' with the consequences of 8 years of that hooey. He almost appears unhinged. McCain is a foreign policy disaster waiting to happen.

"How is it possible that from all those USA citizens/ Republicans Foi picked the dumbest and most dangerous person to be a possible President ?"

Hey, hey!! It was tough times, O.K? Is not easy....plus, Senator McCain is old!! I will say he's probably relaxed his past like my dad......I actually don't know if that makes sense??? LOL!!!

If John McCain becomes President, we are now being seeing the future and what is in store for us.

We are in two fronts now, he wants to bomb bomb bomb Iran and now he thinks we have credibility to threaten the Russians. The only thing we have left in our war bag is nukes. If we don't put an end to Republican blood thirsty deplomacy tactics there will be no future for any of us. These guys are insane!

Who are they going to deploy? Let NATO take care of this not McCain's Georgia lobbists advisors and buddies. It is all about oil AGAIN folks-oil in Georgia, "my freinds" . McCain is an oil Barron, like Bush .

Any wingnuts want to scream about Congress interfering in foreign policy? Of course not, not when it's Republicans.

Come on CNN report McCains gaffe " Nations do not invade other nations in the 21st Century".

How ARROGANT of him.....

Yes..

Hmmph! WHO DOES HE THINK HE IS?

How presumptuous to think he is the President! That McCain is delusional.

Dumb and Dumber. Who do these two guys think they are? Mccain you have really lost it on this one. By the way you have not stepped into the oval office yet. Bush is smart enough to know not to create a serious confrontation with russia. You must be watching star wars. Have you cloned your own army? Sir you are scary.

Nobody but the Obama people are talking about a 100 year war. The word war wasn't even in the article.

Lindsey Graham and Joe Lieberman are on the Senate Armed Forces committee, it is reasonable that they go. McCain is also on it as the ranking member.

Bush, McCain, Obama, Rice, and as far as I can tell most of the rest of our government and the western governments are in agreement on the Russia/Georgia situation. Myself, I believe they are probably more capable of handling this one. I read an article today where Bush, Obama, and McCain all thought the UN should get involved.

DutchLion, we usually vote on our personal views and opinions. I am independent and did not vote in the primaries at all. Perhaps Obama's views are more in line with Germany's views. It sounds like Germany's political structure as well as the party system is quite different then ours. The German Constitution is much longer then ours. The German central government is meant to be bigger. In ours the Federal and State governments split much of the power, each handling seperate areas.

Russia are – "a little people"! – Who think like little people..

Being a democracy does not give you the right to invade other countries but Georgia is being made to be the victim on as far as I can tell, that point alone.

It seems to be that Georgia bombed another smaller Russian aligned country and Russia said WHOA NOW!!!!

I'm not saying that's the long and the short of the situation but it's sure part of the scenario.
Probably, the neocon McCain overplayed his hand in his first statement when he kept talking about the pipeline in the area. I imagine the corporate fascist want that to be well protected and this is what all of this is probably about.

My fellow Americans let's run this trash out of our country. The neocon/fascist have no place in a liberal democracy. They wish to cede over all resources power to the corporations. The Constitution is clear, all powers not enumerated are for the States and The People, not these monolithic companies and their greedy shareholders.

Like you are president already, Surgepants.
It was good to see that you got your choke chain pulled today and got a little more behind the line of sanity. I guess you got the memo that your Scrappy-Doo overcompensation Napoleon complex bluster was not winning you points. Alas, but you then had to pull another Senior moment and say "in the 21st century nations don't invade other nations." lol Come on, Iraq, can't you remember? Or has your dementia trult gotten that bad already?

Better get goin' now, the weekend's coming up. By the time you finish resting up, there won't be anything to see

Lieberman cares more about Israel than CT.

You stupid people don't know a thing about world events and history. All you know how to do is run off at the mouth. Have a drink of kool-aide and shut up.

Just what we need, another Rupublican war. $6.00/gallon gas on the way...

Senator McCain knew the significance of this conflict from the very beginning. His experience does help his judgment.

LET'S SEE, NATIONS DON'T INVADE OTHER NATIONS IN THE 21 CENTURY..........MCBONEHEAD, WHAT ABOUT IRAQ, AFGANASTAN AND MY FRIEND WHAT PLANET DO YOU LIVE ON. I CAN'T BELIEVE PEOPLE ARE STILL SAYING I'M VOTING FOR MCCAIN. LMAO.

"We are all Georgians"???? Sending envoys off to foreign lands??? A major foreign policy advisor who works for a lobbing firm hired by the country of Georgia???

When J. McCain says "Country First" should we be asking "Which Country"?

John McSame wants to start another war with Russia?!

Oh lord, here we go again with 4 more yrs of an OLD MAN WITH INCAPACITATED BRAIN ruling america!!!!!

Mcmoron must think he is president. he is out of his mind.
he should not be running our policies.
he does not represent the usa but senator hothead.'s own agenda.
you cannot pretend to hold a stance with a nuclear power, what is he thinking.

we cannot have a broken arrow running our course.

no to mcinsane

Did I miss an election? What happened to the cries we only have one President , albeit a poor one, he is still the President, and who should be addressing the issues instead of copping a feel from young Olympians. McCrypt seems to eager to have a jumpstart on the war "he knows how to win".

The US has reacted as it should.

Can you imagine how Obama would react to this.

Obama: "Now Russia, can you PLEASE stop attacking Georgia.

Putin: "Mind your own business"

****six weeks later****

Obama: "Now Putin, it's been 6 weeks and you've taken full control over Georgia, I really wish you wouldn't have done that"

Putin: "You keep quiet, unless you want more war!"

Obama: "Yes sir, as long we don't have war, the US will give you whatever you want"

Think about it people, think about it.

does mcCANE think he won the election already? and why is he saying that he speaks for all americans? that cheater doesnt speak for me. if he cant be faithful to his wife, he will never be my president....

RJ, CA

You have irrelevant opinions. Take your hatred to FAUX news. Typical loser neocon.

Considering Bush's ties to Putin and McCain's lobbyist connection with Georgia, this conflict smells to high heaven, and may well be dragged out until the November election so that Republicans can feature their warmongering candidate and play the fear card against the Democrats.

Everyone has said that another "terrorist attack" would benefit McCain. How about another manufactured war? Looks like the October surprise has started in August, just in time for the Democratic convention and Obama's vice-presidential announcement.

Oh Great! McCain is having another "senior moment" by sending Laurel and Hardy to fix the crisis. Please tell me that the rest of us Americans aren't blind to the nonsense that is going with John McCain's???

So to all the PUMA's out there...THIS is what you want for the next four years?

I never knew Mcsame was President already, He's on tv as if his the president and the media is sucking it up. When Obama was over seas the media and the right wing conservatives said, O he thinks he's president, O he had 200,000 thousand germans at his rally, he's not the president, who this guy think he is, but Mcsame sits on tv and threating Russia and everyone says, O Mcsame seems presidential and he has the answers to foreign policies, please give me a broke, if you idiots out here vote this WAR MONGER in to office, don't start crying when your kids are drafted to support this idiot

Senator McCain forgot that we invaded Iraq. So yes, nations do invade other nations in the 21st century. His "experience" should have told him that, or at least McLieberman could have reminded him.

Is that a one way ticket?
who was i kidding?
That is just wrong, i really apologize

Keep giving huge tax cuts to the rich and we won't be able to afford to defend ourselve's from third world countries nevermind defending other's from a superpower like Russia.

senile old John Mcsame still thinks this the 1980's and that this is the cold war, maybe he should get a few of his buddies to go to Czechoslovakia to discuss the problems on the Iraq/Pakistan border.

Donna wrote "Is there a reason CNN has not posted Senator McCain's statement today that "in the 21st century, nations do not invade other nations?"

That will be his first thing to change upon his election.
The draft (not the NBA kind) will be coming soon to a community near you. He is literally frothing at the mouth for more war. Somebody needs to keep that puppy on a leash!

Well what a coincidence. If Senator Obama sent his buddies over to Georgia he would be called an opportunist, which is exactly what you are Mr. McCain. If you win, Senator McCain, you'll get to have your wars. Save the taxpayers some money in the meantime and keep your buddies in the US. Certainly Lieberman can do something productive in the US (oh who are we kidding?). I forgot, Senator McCain...the economy, like peace, is of little value or interest to you. Sad.

In the press conference Donna quoted from, McCain also stated that "..hundreds of thousands of individual lives are being taken".

This man is a dangerous man who is totally out of touch with the rest of the western leaders. He lies, distorts, belittles and misspeaks.

It was quite apparent from Sec. Rice's press conference today that McCain, after bashing Obama allowing Leiberman to challenge Obama's patriotism, has been told to but out so now he is singing the "non-partisan song to try to deflect criticism.

Even the Republicans want him to promise to only run for one term!!

Are they getting paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to be pro-Georgia lobbyists like one of McCain's top advisors? Something stinks here...

If these two clown go to Georgia who's going to whisper into McSurge ears to tell him what to do?

Collect your Social Security checks old man and leave running of the country to someone with honesty and integrity.

Oh great 3 old white men on another War Mongering trip, at American taxpayers expense.

WELL LETS START ANOTHER WAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YES STRAIGHT TALK PEOPLE LETS FIGHT RUSSIA NOW.

What right do we have to condemn Russia after we invaded Iraq? At least they have a legitimate casus belli. What hypocrisy.

The Russians are "playing poker" with us, they are waiting to see if we "CALL' or "FOLD"........but, they are holding the "FLOP" cards!. And "Just words" will not stop, Russia's aggression against Georgia, or bring some relief to their suffering citizens. This was a "well thought-out" move on Russia's part, at the time of these Olympics: when the rest of the World wasn't paying close attention....................

After the last 2 weeks of the MSM going on and on about Senator Obama being too presidental, arrogant and presumptous, WHERE IS THE SAME TREATMENT FOR JOHN MCCAIN? Sending his surrogates to Georgia, speaking on behalf of the American people....................

Sending Lie-berman and Gayham to Georgia won't help the fact that McCain showed real poor judgement on this, talk about itchy trigger finger. And then he gets pimp slapped in front of the world for lipping off by his but buddy the jet skiiing friend of his. Stay far away from McWar.
And jet skiiing w/ the pres of Georgia? And Cindy getting her hand hurt chaking hands w/ the common man? Who are these idiots?

McCain's Brain ... select a response from the following:
(a) I was a POW
(b) drill now
(c) war
(d) repeat after neocons

McCain's top foreign affairs advisor is on the Georgian payroll. WE armed the Georgians. We're antagonizing Russia. I hope Americans are paying close close attention.

moreover, McCain's statement today that in the 21st century "nations don't invade other nations" is so ironic i almost thought he had lost his mind. Or is it that the U.S. gets to be the exception to his own rule?

PLEASE AMERICAN don't make this man our president!!!

Looking from a distance ( Europe , Netherlands) and following the USA politics.
How is it possible that from all those USA citizens/ Republicans Foi picked the dumbest and most dangerous person to be a possible President ?
75 % percent of Europe favors Obama !
Obama gets 200,000 ppl together in Berlin ( the capitol of Russia hahahhaha ....joking ) and Mc C gets just a few dozens in a hamburger cafetaria in a USA small town Berlin.
The hamburgers were free !
USA wake up ! Mc C will endanger everything you have ! This guy is really .....dangerous for your country ! Bush was not that good .......but this is soo much worse.
For the very first time in My life I really am worried about the future of your great nation.....

sad sad smile ....Putin the president of Gemany ? Restoring the Russian Empire ? The new monarchy ? ......

If I was allowed to vote I would vote for Obama !

Wow the puppets are looking so cute

MCCAIN OUT OF GEORGIA!

MCCAIN OUT OF GEORGIA!

MCCAIN OUT OF GEORGIA!

America as we know it is doomed now that the warmongers have taken over. HOW MANY WARS CAN THEY GET US IN BEFORE THE ELECTION?

I ENDORSE OBAMA!

And please, EVERYONE make a small DONATION TO OBAMA. EVEN $10 WILL HELP.

"On Wednesday, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said she had spoken with both McCain and rival Barack Obama about developments in the ongoing crisis."

How do I wish Secretary Rice would consider joining either McCain or Obama!

But she is heading back to Stanford after January. My best wishes!

I see "David Goldman" aka "Dr. Mimi" aka "Venus" is back - how "refreshing" to read such hilarious, stupid babble!

Go and see WHAT???? You sat down and watched Russia bombe Georgia to smithereens. all because you encouraged them to start the attack on Ossetia in the first place and then watched them whipped. Now, you are going to do what-watch the bombed buildings? And you call this EXPERIENCE? Give me a break.

All this theater is very depressing.

Please support change by volunteering or a small donation: barackobama.com

Take a stand, don't watch it slip away and leave us with more years of failure and war.

McCain is addressing a major international problem while Obama plays in the sand and doesn't know quite what to say. Hmmmm....who would I want to be President in this situation? Sorry, but Obama doesn't have ANY experience in international affairs and actually, now that I think about it, he doesn't have any experience in anything but reading a great speech off the teleprompter.

Let me see, "Mr. Obama , what should we do about the Russians invading one of their neighboring countries?" Obama...." Uh..Uh..Uh.., ba, ba, but , ...uh..uh............" Enough said.

Unless the State Department has asked for Lindsey Graham and Joe Lieberman to go to Georgia, they need to stay home and along with McCain keep their big mouths shut so as to not throw more fuel on the fire.

I'm sure the people of Georgia have much better things to worry about and work on than to be photo ops and backdrops for the Graham and Lieberman sideshow.

Besides, shouldn't Condi start earning her paycheck again?

Rob - "we caused this Georgia invasion" PLEASE! The explanation that follows can only be described as paraniod delusion.

Let's have Obama go to Moscow and test out his "let's just talk to our adversaries" and see if he can charm them into withdrawing from the independent nation of Georgia. Russia is and always has been a nation for whom power flows only from a gun. People and nations like that respect strength, not talk.

You can flash back 70 years to British PM Neville Chamberlain in Munich to see how appeasement works out. Not that Georgia is of any strategic value to us, but after Georgia, what? Mooldova, Ukraine, the Baltics (which are part of the EU now)? The West needs to draw a line in the sand or the aggression will not stop. Better to put a lid on it now than wish we had done so many years hence when it will be so much harder. Hard-nosed diplomacy can settle this now. Failure to do so now will be perceived as weakness and invite more aggression later. The Europeans need to stand firm with us to be effective.

"know your enemy" – Sun Tzu

I thought we had a sitting president who made policy regarding foreign nations. Why is this stooge talking like he is the president?

well its quite obvious these people will come back and tell mccain what he wants to hear,,,, but then thats mccains way,,,, i wont ever vote for mccain,, no matter what,, obama!!!!!!!08 and beyond

Problem solved

WELCOME TO WORLD WAR THREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm SICK AND TIRED OF MCCAIN!!!! Why do these WHITE men think they have the POWER and think WE can resolve everything!!!

It steps up his role as more of a foreign affairs kind of person-
We have so much dependence on foreign countries and McCain wants to stop that- Obama doesn't care – maybe he can "change" those countries

And to the people saying McCain has lobyists – Every candidate does- INCLUDING OBAMA
with small donations even from all his supporters- it doesn't add up to the amount he raises he has MORE lobyists that McCain HE ALSO has oil people in his campaign

Im going to shock you all now: Obama is a politician
yes take it in slowly...

I thought George W. Bush was still the current president. Isn't it obvious to anyone looking that John McCain is using this issue as a political football. If Senator Obama stated that he was sending someone to Georgia he would be called by the Republicans as presumptous. Please Mainstream Media wake up and start reporting this deceptive, misleading act of Senator McCain.

The media and the Bush administration is setting us up for another event!! Americans are so brainwashed and we believe anything the media constantly tells us!!! WAKE UP PEOPLE!! THINK!!! We are being setup right now for something major to happen before the November elections!! Whatever it is will be in McCains favor, he's presented as a War junkie and now it just seems we are being prepared and brainwashed mentally for something. DONT BELIEVE THE MEDIA HYPE!!

Obama '08/'12

Adviser to McCain lobby about 200,000 and profit 800,000 in
Georgian and he is wrong for taken strong action against
Russia unstead of a calm solution,war is not the answer.
McCain will have the country in a world war.

WHO OR WHAT SAID THE RUSSIANS DON'T HAVE THE

SAME RIGHTS AS WE DO TO INVADE OTHER NATIONS ?

THESE ARE THE REPERCUSSIONS OF THE MORONIC

LEADERSHIP WE HAVE HAD. DUE TO OUR INVASION OF

IRAQ, WE DON'T HAVE A LEG TO STAND ON WITH RUSSIA

OR ANYONE ELSE. THIS IS MCMORONS FOREIGN POLICY.

Honestly, this McCain man is a real war monger; he is always happy when there is a problem (War) anywhere in the world. America has lost so many young men and women in Iraq; we should all be very careful; this McCain-man is not good for America at all.

Settle down McCain. If we voters don't wise up he'll have plenty of time to wage wars.

Jew & Gentile going to Georgia, Alabama at the direction of this clueless Grumpy. In the 21 st century, without an Obama map, they got lost and ended up at Democratic convention. At the convention these three muskateers acted like baffoons, so Obama sent them directly to the Psych Ward at the Denver hospital. End of the story.

LOL Bush and McCain criticizing Russia is like the pot calling the kettle black. Here we are in two illegal wars that Bush started, McSame backs and they're criticizing Russia? LOL it really shows how ignorant they both are.

How presumptuous of him!

Thanks for WWIII jerk.

YOU IDIOT, MCAIN. . .NOT ONLY DO YOU WANT TO BOMB IRAN. . .NOW YOU WANT A CONFRONTATION WITH RUSSIA. . .

YOU ARE A TOTALLY STUPID! ! !

WHILE YOUR TRYING CAUSE DESTRUCTION THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. . .GO DO YOUR FIGHTING IN AFGHANISTAN! ! !

Perhaps you didn't read the CNN article which states "U.S. officials said they warned Saakashvili not to provoke Russia militarily by sending Georgian troops into South Ossetia and they had ruled out any U.S. military action to defend Georgia."

The US didn't cause this conflict.

CONDOLEEZZA RICE STATED TODAY THAT IT

WASN'T 1968, WHERE RUSSIANS CAN OCCUPY

A CAPITOL & OVERTHROW A GOVERNMENT.

MS.RICE MUST HAVE THE SAME MEMORY AS MCMORON.

AREN'T WE FORGETTING SOMETHING HERE ??

WE ARE LIVING THE 1968 PERIOD. WHY NOT THE RUSSIANS.

THEY ARE DOING IT BY OUR PERMISSION, BY OUR

INVASION OF IRAQ. BESIDES THE RUSSIANS COULDN'T

CARE LESS WHAT RICE, BUSH OR MCBUSH HAVE TO SAY.

This is much more relevant than Obama's sightseeing trip in Europe!

It is 3 am in the Morning
A McCain look alike is startled when he hears the alarm clock ring.
He thinks it is the phone and holds it to his ear – dazed and confused he yells out -
“Bush the Button! Bush the Button!”
The picture flashes to a nuclear explosion mushroom cloud and all.
In the background you can hear McCain say…
“We will not surrender – We will not surrender – I will be the last American President standing!!”

This ad has been endorsed by the free world!!

Just kidding like the Repubs – just adding some humor to the campaign.

Come on – smile – the worst that can happen is that will be into WW3 for a 100 years.

John McCain has stepped into a big pile of poo with this one.

McCain is now trying to save his nether parts by escalating things to try and show how he isn't really really screwing up, which of course he is. I hope the State Department has some sense and puts the kabosh on this.

Remember my fellow Americans, Russia is an Oil Exporter, they are Oil Independant, they can control the flow of oil onto the world market, they can really screw up our economy if they wanted, think gas and food rationing and really expensive goods. Condi is right for the wrong reasons, this is not 1967, we cannot threaten the Russians like we used to.

What? How did we cause the Georgia Invasion? Last time I checked it was Russia who invaded not the US.

Do you suppose that McCain's response to the crisis in Georgia might have something to do with the fact that his foreign policy advisor for his campaign is a lobbyist for the nation of Georgia?

Also, there is a U.S. oil company-funded oil pipeline running through Georgia that takes oil from Azerbaidjan to the West, in competition with Russia. you don't suppose Russia isn't targeting their economic competition, do you?

I really have to agree with Obama's and Bush's response.

And just why is McCain interjecting himself into this conflict? And why do Lindsey Graham and Joe Lieberman think its their place to go running to Georgia when Georgia started the mess they're in? Just exactly who gave a PRESUMPTIVE presidential candidate the right to try and set US foreign policy?

The last time I checked George Bush is still president until January '09 and all of these clowns are out of bounds.

I think the Georgian crisis shows that McCain is a very brash and presumptuous man. He is not our president yet, yet he made this proclamation: "And I told him that I know I speak for every American when I say to him, ‘Today we are all Georgians.’” I do not like Bush or his policies but he is still the president and if anyone has to the right to speak for "All Americans" it is the ELECTED president.

I would like to know the opinion that Senator McCain has toward Georgian President Mikhiel Saakashvili - a personal friend of his, and his decision to enter the breakaway region of South Osetia, which the United Stated counseled him not to do. Does he agree with the advise that the US initially gave? Does he think that this was the wrong time to go into South Osetia by the Georgian Army? And if not, when would be or would have been the proper time for the Georgian Army to enter South Osetia?

I would like to know Senator McCain's answer since he said that "He speaks for every American and that today we are all Georgians." Because of this statement I believe that we deserve an answer from McCain.

John McCain is a sabre-rattling war monger. War with Russia would end life on this planet as we know it. SIT DOWN, JOHN!

"In The 21st Century Nations Don't Invade Other Nations" – John McCain

Forget about Iraq, John Boy?

Obama 08'

McCain was a proponent of pre-emptive war before 9/11 changed Bush's mind on the subject. His foreign policy amounts to little more than sabre rattling and "more boots on the ground." He doesn't know the meaning of the word diplomacy. It's a tragedy that so many people feel that his candidacy carries more weight on this issue than Obama when he clearly does not understand the intricacies of our relationship to the rest of the world.

CCCP is BACK! Although I think the socalled "humanitarian" aid the US is sending is in the form of guided weapons systems tank bombs from Tomcats high in the sky. I've been there during the Bosnia conflict sitting in the Adriatic watching tomohawk missles bombard mountain ranges up close three weeks before that hit the news, so I know first hand that this is exactly what is happening. Thank you Mr. Bush for destroying the world before you leave office.
The only reason Russia did this is because of your stupid move with the missle defense shield in the Czeck Republic back in 07, you big dummy!

Who is paying for their trip? Will they be representing McCain? Is it good timing?

He is not President! He will never be President! He should shut his dam mouth! Bush is wrong to take sides. Mind our own business!
We cannot baby sit the entire freaking planet!
Sit down John!
And anyone considering bashing Obama, he cannot DO anything until he IS President. Neither can McCain except run his lying mouth.

Just Relax Sen McCain, You NOT The President Yet!
Sen. Obama Couldn't Even Take Pictures With Leaders, And Look At This Guy.

YOUR NOT THE SITTING PRESIDENT!
Don't Be Brain Wash America.

Typical liberals, it was fine for Clinton to get us involved in Somalia and Bosnia but not for McCain to. Just remember folks more troops have been killed under Democrat control than Republican

Maybe those who ask why McCain isn't going himself should be asking why Barack Obama remains on vacation in Hawaii rather than show that he is up for the job of President of the United States.

With serious problems around the world, the prospect of an Obama presidency is truly frightening to this lifelong Democrat.

The leadership of the Democratic Party has failed us all.

man...

the thought of war has this guy looking 70 years younger.... (to the age of 72)....

so.... sending a couple of boot-lickers, ... er... i mean SURROGATES to go and report on the state of the violence...

if you had any REAL juice, you would send somebody to Russia to talk some U.S. 'sense' into Putin.....

but hey... maybe those guys can get some jet-skiing in before they come back and tell America that if we don't fight Russia there, we will have to fight them here....

WELL,WELL,WELL this is a serious conflict with another country that happen right in president BUSH AND SENTOR MCCAIN FACE, who will they Blame this time America? Mr. McCain is not president yet ,so he needs to let MR.PRESIDENT BUSH HANDLE THIS SITUATION AND HE STOP SOOTING OF AT THE MOUTH,BECAUSE THAT IS ALL HE CAN DO FOR NOW AS A PRESIDENTIAL CANDINATE.

John MacBush an ali,
Bushed you all. Let the US out of this mess. You go to defend your oil dividends. Shame on you, shame on you. Bus war irak for oil. Your robust your stand for Georgia for oil dividends. Shame on McBush and ali. shame on corrupt US poilitics
Nganenu

old john can't stand it! he just has to be in the middle of any nation that talks war. he is a disgrace and i am sure he is sending his cronies to shut up the president of georgia for saying on national TV for McWar to put his money where is mouth is. i heard that russia has said someone from the united states had given georgia a wink and a nod to do some under handed things that made russia mad. ummmm...since old john is a friend of the georgia president....do you think he was giving a little under the table advice here? cover it up now john. you can not afford another scandel.
oh yea and make sure you correct your statement to the president there,,,we are not all georgians john!!!

This McCain strategy on Georgia is astonishing. McCain is a bought-and-paid-for agent of the Georgian government.

McCain's campaign manager is on the Georgian payroll and is creating all of McCain's policy on the subject.

McCain sells himself to the highest bidder yet again!

Willow: What is Obama? I thought he was a Senator, too. Is he President already? Guess I must have missed the election.

He Smells War

this man john mccain is scary!!

I don't have anything relevant or credible or logical or well thought out to add to this discussion which is a good thing because CNN doesn't post those comments so I will just say this

blah blah blah Mc(insert insult here because it's still funny 58 billion times later) balh blah blah change you can count on blah blah blah world war 3 blah bla blah too old blah blah blah change you can count on blah

It does not matter who McCain picks. People ingeneral do not vote for a president based on their running mates. McCane is simply too dangerous for the future of America, especially with his cowboy mentality towards Russia.

This mess has McBush happy to promote his campain of fear my friends or did I hear him say all Geogrians are my friends my friends and that we all in the U.S. are Georgians. I am not I am aTexan my friends.

CNN, Why aren't you reporting on the fact that :

McCain's foreign policy advisor got money from Georgia.

One of McCain's handlers might want to let him know he's not the president.

Be very very afraid now folks,John is wearing his war face in this photo and will scare his opponents to death with just his looks.

How is this not "presumptuous"????? The Republicans would be all over Obama if he "sent" his advisors into the middle of an international crisis.

"Boy McCain gets a pep in his step when he thinks that he can start WWIII… so sad as I do not want my sons in a senseless war … folks when we learn… they are sending the same Bush Croonies that started the Iraq war on false pretense…. can we talk about this?"

LOL!!! And don't forget, Joe Lieberman is there, LOL!!!!!!

I swear, he should just ask him to hold hands with him, LOL!!!!!

Watch out Cindy!! You're man can be taken! LOL!!!!!

WHAT EVER CREDIBILITY WE HAVE LEFT, & IT AIN'T

MUCH, WE WILL LOSE IF MCMORON HAS HIS WAY.

HE HAS ALREADY APPOINTED PUTIN AS

PRESIDENT OF GERMANY, GOD KNOWS WHAT ELSE

HIS FEEBLE MIND WILL COME UP WITH.

GOD, can someone just turn this OLD FART OFF??

McCain doesn't have a clue!

Yes, let's not politicize this issue, politics ends at the water's edge....

Nevermind that someone else is responsible for foreign policy in this country...

Nevermind that these are my most rabid attack dogs on the trail...

Besides, we can't go to war with Russia over Georgia, we need to bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran first.

McCain '08: Four More Wars! Four More Wars!!

Can you say "Grandstand"???

I knew you could McInsane.

This guy doesn't know when to sit down and shut up

Please God, PLEASE have Bush leave office before he gets us involved with ANOTHER war. And to take on the Russians???IS HE NUTS??? And McBush is just as bad. He had better shut his mouth before we get into another pickle. And just out of curiosity, if we do go help out the Georgians, where are these troops going to come from? DRAFT??
It is way past time to bring all of our troops home and start communicating with the world instead of threatening other countries. And yes, the Georgians expect us to do something because McCain is getting money from them. Enough is enough!!

IF SOMEBODY DOESN'T STOP THE FEEBLE MINDED

WARMONGER, HE IS LIBEL TO START WWIII.

This is outrageous. Where is the media saying McCain is being presumptuous? Oh, I forgot. If you're white, you're showing leadership. If you're black, you're presumptuous! What was I thinking?

Mc Cain 's idea of going to Georgia SCARES ME. He is PLACING America IN A VERY DANGEROUS POSITION . I would not be surprised if Russia ATTACKS us BECAUSE OF HIS GESTURE. He HAS POOR JUDGEMENT. He is BEHAVING WORSE THAN BUSH and he is NOT EVEN THE PRESIDENT. If he is President WE CAN PREPARE FOR ANOTHER WAR WITH RUSSIA.

I do want the Georgian people to know 2 things; one, not every American stands with them or John McCain, he does not speak for me and never will. Two, your leaders must be as dumb as the current American ones because when you shoot at something as big, and dangerous as Russia, what do you expect? McCain had no right, no authority and an obvious political agenda when speaking about Georgia yesterday and who thinks they are already elected... Bush and his cronies should not even be allowed to say the words Georgia or Russia, Congress should enact a law that stops these lame-duck lame-brains from causing WWIII, and please, do it soon.

Boy, do I hate Joe Lieberman!

I CAN SEE THE RUSSIANS REALLY WORRIED ABOUT

WHAT OUR OLD SHADY FEEBLE COOT HAS TO SAY.

If he went himself, like the pompous Obama would like to do, then he would be called "presumptive". He is a member of the Armed Services Committee, and is sending fellow members, which is the sign of a leader. Shirley, you are an idiot drinking too much Starbucks.

Hmmm....someone seems a bit arrogant and behaving too presidential.

McCain will be the bully of the world if elected. He's a punk and should be stopped now! He thrives on war!

I suggest that he pick Mitt Romney. He would be an excellent pick and one that espouses the same values as other Republicans.

On a sad note, my best wishes to the Chairman Bill Gwatney's family. This tragedy is mindful of the dangers we all have to live with in this age.

Yes, let's send Senator Grahamnesty to Georgia. That will certainly bring peace to the region. And be sure to send along the Dumbell Prize winner, Jimmah Cahtah, too, just for the laughs that he generates wherever he goes.

THE PRESUMPTIVE SCUM BAG THINKS

HE IS PRESUMPTIVE PRESIDENT,

NOT IN THIS LIFE & NOT IN THIS COUNTRY.

Hey Senator, your friend in Georgia says he wants actions not words so unless Lieberman and Graham plan on picking up a rifle, I'm not sure this is going to be helpful to them.

Or are you just trying to look like you know what is going on?

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.

The payments raise ethical questions about the intersection of Randy Scheunemann's personal financial interests and his advice to the Republican presidential candidate who is seizing on Russian aggression in Georgia as a campaign issue.

I will rattle sabres and beat war drums to scare my opponents and the people living here as well.

I'll tell ya, if Obama mama gets in the White House, there will be the biggest mess any of you McCain haters could ever imagine! Obama is a snake of the worst kind. He, just like Slick Wilty, lies ALL the time. He makes things up, says one thing one minute and something else the next. Talk about Mr.B.S., he would be the guy.

This country will go to hell in a hand basket if Mr. Obama mama gets his way!

CNN, why are my comments waiting moderation for an extremely long time?

We'd better get serious about this latest invasion by Russia and stop slinging slurs at our candidates. Both are fine men, but when we are confronted with something like this, we'd better get off the bandwagon and seriously consider what we have in the leadership of John McCain.

Obama will counter by sending Oprah and Rezko. If Oprah can't buy the country of Georgia for Obama, then Rezko can bribe the Russians. That is the Chicago style politics that Obama knows so well. The same old politics that got him this far.

PUMA - Vote McCain

Good Presidential move by McCain. Whats Obama doing again????

Mean while back in Hawaii, Obama and his family are working on their tans.

Traveling to Georgia to do what? Ben Stein was right, his campaign is pathetic. He's got bigger problems in the US state of Georgia as he is currently in a dead heat with Obama in that deep red state when Bob Barr is on the ballot–which he will be in November.

What a joke. He's got 6-years olds running this disaster of a campaign and it shows.

Obama '08/'12

Not even president yet and he is already laying the foundation for another war. I guess two wars arent enoughfor McCain, lets go for three right. So how exactly is McCain different from Bush?

It's sad that this administration has hurt this nation ability to negotiate effectively with Russia the war in Iraq have tie our hands. You can't say stop when you are guilty of doing the same things.

Any chance all three of you could stay there.....forever?

VETS FOR OBAMA/WEBB – 08

Speaking to reporters about the situation in Georgia, Sen. John McCain denounced the aggressive posture of Russia by claiming that:"in the 21st century nations don't invade other nations."

Wow, that agent orange stuff must of had some lingering affects. Geeezzzz! This guy wants to be president of the U.S., wow!

MCIDIOT PROBABLY DOESN'T KNOW THAT

RUSSIA ISN'T IRAQ & THEY COULDN'T CARE

LESS WHAT OUR WARMONGER HAS TO SAY.

McCain said that one of the reason's why he opposes the Russian Government is because of how they handled Chechnya! Chechen rebels are the same as the Taliban! Islamic Jihadist that suicide bomb cafes and ambush elementary schools and kill all of the children! This shows his ignorance and bad judgement. The Chechen rebels also have deep ties to Al Qaeda, but if they are terrorizing Russians they are Freedom Fighters, when they attack us or our friends they are Terrorists. This man is crazy!

SENATE ALLIES looks like senile.

McBush and his cronies can all go and stay, PLEASE.

McCain after president since you have the support of many Of Hillary's supporters, start the Draft Back and start with Obama's supporter list and let them earn there right like a lot of us Have defending our country then Maybe they will learn a little respect and go back to the 70s Military standards many of them need that extra Kick!

If a war escalates, I rather have McCain running the show than Obama or Hilary and I still support Hilary over McCain & Obama.
Goes to show, being the president is not about being a celebrity. It's a tough job. I like the guy (Obama) but he's unexperience which makes him WEAK.

This guy just keep trying to cover up his goofs with more BAD judgement. I guess the Sec. of State doesn't know how to handle her affairs as command by the real President?

Why aren't CNN's analysts and pundits "asking" whether this means McCain is arrogant and presumptuous?

Remember when Charlie Black, a Mccain advisor stated that a terrorist attack would guarantee victory for Mccain. I guess the attack on Georgia is the closest thing. Mccain using the incident in Georgia to gain political points. HOW LOW WILL THIS MAN GO!!!!!!!!

Hello Draft

I read a lot of paranoia, bigotry, age bias, utter hatred, and simple ignorance in these comments. Are you guys for real?

One says McCain shouldn't act like a Commander-in-Chief and should stay out of it. So, I guess Obama should not have gone to Iraq and met w/Maliki? So, I guess Obama should not have gone through Europe and spoke in Berlin? So, I guess Obama shouldn't have spoke on this issue either? He's not the Commander-in-Chief. Somehow, I don't see you blasting him.

One says we need to talk to "whomever is the key to success." Georgia's leadership is not a "key to success" in this matter? Really?

One says it doesn't matter what McCain says on this issue. So, we shoudn't care what Obama says on this issue either, correct? Funny you didn't mention that.

Really, you people should think before you write. That way maybe you won't sound quite so hateful and ignorant.

Let's see 100 years in Iraq, another 100 in Georgia. Yep, that's just what we need. Thanks McLame.

This is meaningless...he is acting as though he is already commander in chief....even Bush was told to back off by Putin. This is not the cold war period anymore!

What's worse, Obama's sign that looked similar to the presidential seal, or someone who isn't even elected president acting like he already won sending staff overseas? Talk about presumptive...

I'm surprised that old fart hasn't suited up by now. He's like a kid in a candy store. Just so happy there's another war he can talk about. The idiot.

Now I know why he was a D student–he's brainless, and useless.

What are they looking for? Some plausible reason for start WW III?

McCain now has two solid choices on this front: IRAN and now RUSSIA.

Put McCain in office and we will go to war ... often.

McCain is looking for a war. Everyone should have expected this from McCain because that's all he stands for, he's another GWB the same old cowboy mentallity. If there is anyone out there that thinks Iraq is a nightmare, we haven't seen one yet.

mccain who?????? is relatedto mc hillary and bubba who??????

I can't believe that McCain is doing exactly what he criticized Obama for. McCain is acting far more presumptuous and like an coronated President than Obama ever has. I also think that Saakashvili's stupid attack on Russian Peackeepers (which the U.S. has been clearly asking him not to do) was a pact between him and the McCain Campaign. It created an International Crisis for McCain to "show off his exsperience" in return (if McCain's elected) for full U.S. military support in forcing these provinces (S.Ossetia and Abkhazia) to be a part of Georgia. Saakashvili couldn't do it democratically so he must do it with force; are those the types of democracies we want to die for? Obama needs to question the reason why Saakashvili provoked Russia against it's friends (U.S.) wishes and now wants us to fight and die for them! McCain cares more for the Georgians than he does for Americans, it's okay for families to lose their homes to predarory lenders but taxpayers need to pay for the security and building of homes in other countries!

"McSAME SAYS SENATE ALLIES WILL HEAD TO GEORGIA"

Good, stay over there. Don't come back until after the election is over. While you're there stop by Iraq and apologize for starting that senseless war.

Obama 08

Donna's right in the 21 century nation don't invade other country's; i can't believe MCsenile said that with a straight face. but that shows you how phony MCbush is.

Thank God Obama has a cooler head than hot headed Mcwar! McCain is very, very cold he even thru his first wife under the bus while she was sick with cancer!

Just think back during Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962; just think if McCain was president we would all be dead your children and my children. Nukes would have been launched!

You clowns. You are alot like the crazy aunt in the family who threatens suicide but through the haze of her insanity she knows the family will have her stomach pumped after she overdoses. The Republicans have saved your sorry rumps time after time after time. Yobama will only ring his hands while you are being raped.

There must be a typo in this ticker because shouldn't Bush be taken lead since he is (unfortunately) POTUS. McCain critisized Obama for giving a speech in Berlin and being to Presidential. But McCain is basically acting like he is President with his recent actions and statements that "all Americans are Georgians today."

McCain is such a hypocrite. Under McCain we will be in four wars by next year.

Why in the world is McCain involved in sending emissaries to Georgia? Isn't that the responsibility of the current President? I think it's totally out of line for McCain to act like this. If Obama did anything even close to this, people would be screaming about how presumptuous he was. In this case, McCain is acting presumptuous. And it really is inappropriate for him to be so involved in this Georgia/Russia conflict when he's being advised by a man who's a paid lobbyist for Georgia. That's a blatant conflict of interest (again, others would scream if Obama had ties within anyone even close to this nature). So I think McCain is really out of line here.

Why do we care what McCain says about this? HE'S NOT THE SITTING PRESIDENT!!!!

McCain is is war heaven. This is it, his big chance to show America his war skills. What a showoff. He makes me sick.

Well, there goes his last drop of energy thinking about the economy. His brain cells can't do both. What a joke. He should retire, go back home and sit on the porch with Cindy. Bore her to tears about war, not us.

I am voting for Obama but believe neither one of these candidates should be butting in and possibly damage efforts currently underway to resolve the situation. McCain is obviously turning this into a media event for himself and I am not at all impressed with what he has said thus far. He is coming off as pompous when even Bush doesn't have all of the facts!

Great! I was hoping the U.S. could involve itself more overseas. We've had such great results with our constant meddling; and it costs us almost nothing!

(SARCASM)

Thank God Obama has a cooler head than hot headed Mcwar! McCain is very, very cold he even thru his first wife under the bus while she was sick with cancer!

Just think back during Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962; just think if McCain was president we would all be dead your children and my children. Nukes would have been luanched!

This is so disrespectful to the present administration.
mccain, lie-berman and graham are all beside themselves. I hope the bush administration stops them.

Why not save taxpayer money and call the French for a status check. While McCain was talking about how we should attack Russia the French were quietly negotiating the ceasefire.

McCain: Lame Lame Lame!

Come on Quick Draw McGraw McCain. Try to keep up.

Jesus Christ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This man just can't quit dramatizing. Who in the world does he think he is? The president? No. McCain you are just a presidential candidate. God. Please cut it. Well, it doesn't matter what you do. Obama is still going to win the election.

Uh Oh. Being presumptious, much?

McCain hasn't helped win any wars, so what makes him qualified to be the presumptive shadow president?

1) His support for the surge in Iraq is overshadowing the progress achieved by Iraq's new army and the already placed forces.

2) His poor judgement to attack Iraq will get us into another war with Russia and possibly, World War III !!

3) Obama was wise to speak carefully and not presumptuously. He cares more about not making things worse than just getting better poll results!

4) It's one thing for a presumptive presidential nominee to give speeches on hope and what he would like to achieve as a future president, and it's quite another thing to act like you're already president to speak in behalf of the president of the United States! This is too sensitive of a subject to be quick to start threatening an unknown and dangerous leader of a former Soviet enemy!

Obama continues to show shrewdness and the insight we need to lead America to a new and better path!

This is a little arrogant, presumptuous? Guess only the black guy gets stuck with that label. CNN is pathetic....

McCain plays dangerous, if he become president!!

Wake up America ! We caused this Georgia Invasion and now the crazy people who caused this are letting it spin out control towards a very dangerous larger war. We allowed Georgia to move on South Ossetia Militarily. They would not have dared to do this without our nod of approval. We did this to draw Russia away from Iran where the lunatic Republicans are planning to launch their next insane War! As usual our Idiots in the White House screwed up and Russia easily dominated Georgia. Now our nut case leader Bush and God forbid future nut case leader McBush are crying foul. Americans can not expect our idiot ,crazy leaders to do anything to remedy this crises they have caused. I hope Europe forces us to tone down our erratic and foolish course that we are currently on. Please God. Help us.

Why doesn't he just let Codi do her job!

What's the point of sending those two rejects to stir things up!

Loosers!

I Hope Joe Stays There!

WHY ISNT JOHN MCCAIN GOING HIMSELF. OBAMA HAS BEEN SAYING FOR MANY MONTHS SITTING DOWN TALKING TO WHOMEVER IS THE KEY TO SUCCESS. WHAT ABOUT THIS MONEY MCCAIN ALLIES HAS BEEN TAKING FROM GEORGIA, IS THIS WHY HE WANTS TO HURRY AND RESOLVE THIS, SO GEORGIA WONT EXPOSE HIM. WELL, I GUESS IF I GOT A LOT OF MONEY FROM SOMEONE, I WOULD PROTECT THEM ALSO.

McGoldwater should stay out of this mess until he is actually Commander in Chief. He is being far too presumptuous about his strengths in this matter. All McCain knows is war. He is a Senator, not a President.

Boy McCain gets a pep in his step when he thinks that he can start WWIII... so sad as I do not want my sons in a senseless war ... folks when we learn... they are sending the same Bush Croonies that started the Iraq war on false pretense.... can we talk about this? And who cares what McCain state about this issue he has no power.... dang the old war monger is just anxious to start more mess and scare America to think he is the one to keep us safe.... with his health issues and infidelity one would think he will be trying to work on his personal life rather then trying to be the commander and chief of my great country... nope not this time we are wiser now!

Is there a reason CNN has not posted Senator McCain's statement today that "in the 21st century, nations do not invade other nations?"

Looks like we need alternative fuels badly since Russia and China are on the seen. After wasted trillions of dollars on a war its sad to think that we could have been closer to a energy policy that would rid us of conflicts like this. I for one care as much for the Georgians as i do for the Iraqis. 73% of the country wants the war to end and listening to these war-monging polititians we might be heading into more conflicts. When will these politicians listen to the will of the people? Barrack for President.

Sending a wartime delegation. Hmm... Sorry who was the presumptuous candidate?

Need to make sure the lobbyist money continues to flow into Panamanian McCain's campaign.

Great, he wants to involve the US in another 100 year occupation while a candidate for President. Way to go McChange... you really are a "maverick".

This sort of proclamation is NOTHING like Bush... what a phony!

Still trying to show up W??

I hope he is going to Georgia in the U.S. not the Georgian Republic.. We need to focus on America.. Not on other countries.. Enough with the support of Georgia... We shouldn't piss off the Russians too much. They have nukes and Putin is a dangerous man! FOCUS on America first John... I am an American NOT Georgian, but an Arizonan.. I do not stand with any other country except my own.. What is it that the country of Georgia has to offer us??

Anti Puma, Anti McCain .. Pro American 1st and foremost..

Even though Obama sits on the U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, someone needs to remind The Chosen One that the problems are in the COUNTRY of Georgia, NOT the STATE of Georgia. THAT Georgia is one of our 50 states, not the 57 he supposedly he wants to be president of .......

"It is wonderful to be back in Oregon," Obama said. "Over the last 15 months, we’ve traveled to every corner of the United States. I’ve now been in 57 states? I think one left to go. Alaska and Hawaii, I was not allowed to go to even though I really wanted to visit, but my staff would not justify it."

Sheesh, what an idiot!

So the Lobby member from Georgia who is on McWar's campaign team is exerting pressure. Not to mention McBush's Big Oil puppet masters who are worried about their oil pipeline. McSurge is nothing but a puppet on a string for his big money donars.

Somebody please point out to McCain that he has no authority to speak out in this manner. He is conducting official business without the consent of our president. Where is the media in all this? If Obama made statements like this, he would be tarred and feathered.

McCain is a joke! He gets called out for his non action and tough talk and responds with let me send some people their to evaluate the situation. If he is so vested why is he not going there. And why is his good friend the President of Georgia calling him out on empty rhetoric. McCain needs to stop playing political football with these extremely serious issues and start offering some solutions. I've heard enough tough talk while the country goes in the wrong direction the last seven years. McCain has not offered one actual solution to the problems facing our country. Its a shame in 2000 I would have voted for him but now I'm not sure he is up to the job.

Didn't we hear him say today that a nation can't just "invade another country" without provocation?

Well, we just did that in Iraq! lol

Don't we sound like hypocrites. yeah let's get into the middle of this mess and start WW3! Or another Cold War era. Russia didnt send diplomats or "peace keepers" into Iraq and meddle in our business, why are we interfering in theirs.

Oh, thats right! Georgia has OIL!

I tell you something: other countries in the world are getting sick of the U.S. going around acting lik ewe are the world's police and hypocratically doing what we would forbid others doing.

And BTW, McCain nice of you to give press conferences in front of flags and such but let me remind you you are NOT commander in cheif!

God forbid you ever are!

LOL! McCain, you're a fool – and just what are your surrogates going to do that Condi can't do?

I hope he does. Peopel get so focused on a single aspect of a candidate's offerings and will vote a person in or out on that one facet, when the person may have much, much more to offer. Sometimes the decision just isn't as black and white as people would like to think. That really oversimplifies things. All that being said, McCain is still very conservative, and having a pro-choice VP doesn't really mean anything. McCain, as president, will push his agenda, no matter what the VP thinks.

I'm voting O-8, unless McCain can prove to me why he should be president. I haven't seen anything presidential out of the man, yet.

How will you campaign without Lieberman whispering in your ear all the time?

"Extremists, not al Qaeda!" lol

Bad news for McBush and his Liberman/Graham that they might get killed in that conflicts.

And where is Barack "the chosen one" Obama during this crisis?

Oh Yeah, in Hawaii on vacation.

He does of course realize that World events don't get put on hold just because you're on vacation.

Doesn't he????????????

McCain is about to start WW3. C. Rice needs to call his cronies back to the US before they'll get captured.

Yes, let's waste more of the tax payers money so these useless politicians can go and LOOK at the damage. Report back to us, hurry hurry hurry. Make yourselves appear important. Then say that while Obama is on a well deserved vacation YOU went to LOOK around Georgia.

WOW!! McCain is taking ARROGANCE to the next level has he already been crowned POTUS?????????

I'm from SC and Lindsey is killing me with his gang of 10 and his political appeasement strategies. Just b/c you won your primary, don't get too cocky. Lindsey, you are not going to be on the ticket, get over it.

Wow, sounds a lot like a trip that a few senators took a few weeks ago. Where was that again.....? I think one of the senators was also running for president.

Why doesn't McCain go so he can tell us the problem lies in the border area between Georgia and Pakistan?

Seeing as war is all you know McLame..what about us HERE AT HOME. We need lower prices on gas, food, and new jobs..you help set up the mess that's occurring over there with your lobbyist friends now you are trying to capitalize politically on the resulting mess..you sicken me.

Can you say Grandstanding!

Once again, McCain has a plan. Obama is sitting in Hawaii sipping Mai Tai parading his daughters for the cameras, yet in the same breath telling them to keep his family out of this. Hypocrite.

GREAT send CAPTAIN ISREAL and PRIVATE PILE to piss of the Russians even more. MCCAIN is a IDIOT !!!!

Who cares.
