- TheJimid, on 08/12/2008, -2/+8I guess no blitzkrieg to Moscow for the sake of "Enduring Freedom." I guess the Neocons will just have to go back to raking the sands of Iraq for those elusive WMDs
- Berkana, on 08/13/2008, -1/+7The only country that has been consistently hostile and starting wars by invading sovereign nations in the past decade has the US. The Neocons have a log to pull out of their eye before they can pick on Russia.
- sanman, on 08/12/2008, -3/+7the so-called "democratic country" had rigged elections
the so-called "democratic president" rules through corruption, and had to wag the dog to keep his govt from falling
the "democratic country" tried to anihilate the South Ossetian capital and its civilian population.
spare us the crap about the "big bad Russians" - inactive, on 08/13/2008, -3/+6NeoCons NEED TERRORISM AND WAR to survive.
Modern conservatives can only exist in a state of conflict and with a clearly defined and identified enemy. Such is the case with our current neo-conservative movement.
You have to be very careful how and when you kill your enemy.
The Neocon is nothing unless it has a enemy to wage war on. The first 8 months of Bush's presidency was marked with a spectacular lack of nothing except vacation and flipping nearly every executive order Clinton made.
This first 100 days was vacations and singing executive orders in the early stages of payback to campaign donors and longtime cronies.
Then 911. And the war was on. Enemies were made and the axis of evil designated. The conservatives had their Pearl Harbor and Bush was hitting his trifecta moment and was able to stand tall point the finger and start screeching. The war drums banged. Vengeance is mine says the Lord and George W. Bush. "Bring it on".
Meanwhile some dumb idiot inbred redneck in some red state is saying "I'm glad 'da "terrists" isn't attacking ma' woodshed". - lordblue, on 08/12/2008, -1/+4Other than offering to mediate, there was never a reason for the US to get involved.
- sanman, on 08/12/2008, -2/+4I guess they ran out of willing suckers for another "coalition of the willing"
- ImperialRome, on 08/13/2008, -2/+4Actually a ceasefire doesn't kill it, it reinforces it. The Russians can restart hostilities at any time, for any reason, and they can build up the logistical support they need for such a continuation in the meantime. Meanwhile, they have demonstrated very effectively how much they can project force into their neighbors.
Russia starts a territorial dispute with Kazakhstan, or Tadjikistan. Makes claims of oppression of Russian ethnic people by Muslim governments or Muslim citizens, and sends in troops to protect ethnic Russian enclaves or Russian minority government.
If this sounds far fetched, think about Afghanistan in 1979. - atdigg, on 08/13/2008, -0/+1Right, cause they occupied only PART of Georgia.
- inactive, on 08/13/2008, -1/+2The Russians are using the Kosovo model here. Kosovo was created out of Serbia. The Russians backed Serbia during this. Now they are claiming South Ossetians want independence. The Russians are funding the rebels in South Ossetia who fire upon Georgian troops.......breaking the cease fire agreement frm 92. Georgia defends itself militarily and within hours Russia has troops at the ready on the border? Georgia and Ukraine are trying desperately to get into Nato. Effectively joining western europe and the U.S. and leaving the motherland permanently. Russia has made it clear they will not negotiate with the Georgian president and will move to install another puppet for Putin who will then begin the process of joining Russia. Russia has also stated that it is evoking the right to defend the safety and DIGNITY of any and all ETHNIC russians living in independent states. Next up............the Crimean Pennisula of Ukraine. The folly in the left's thinking here is Chechnya............who were fighting for independence too................Russians didn't take kindly to that kind of independence did they?
Amazing how the left will take Moscow at its word on anything. - fafnir314, on 08/12/2008, -3/+4I think Obama knows better what he can get away with saying, internationally, than McCain does. It's more than a little dangerous to mess with Russia.
- TxAggie08, on 08/15/2008, -1/+1I may have been dug down, but a few days has proved me right, and the left-wing loones that believed Putin wrong.
- inactive, on 08/13/2008, -1/+1It doesn't sound far fetched at all.
Considering the source is a rightard warmonger, I bet you are right. - PiGuy, on 08/13/2008, -5/+41. Make up article stating Neocons secretly want Russia to expand so we can go to war
2. Make up article stating previously made up article won't come true
3. ???
4. Profit! - inactive, on 08/12/2008, -11/+9What? It was all in good fun? The Russians are really good guys after all?
What kind of boob bait is this? Russia attacks an independent and democratic country and this guy attacks neocons? - fafnir314, on 08/12/2008, -5/+2I'd like to hear what Medvedev would say the goal of the offensive was...
- TxAggie08, on 08/12/2008, -9/+5As of now, the cease fire hasn't been anything but words. The fighting continues. Furthermore, don't forget Putin is ex-KGB. Admitting Georgia to NATO would have solved this problem before it even happened, Russia wouldn't dare cross the most powerful military alliance on the planet. I don't really think either McCain or Obama would allow Russia to get away with swallowing a US ally though. I do however think McCain has a more realistic view of Putin's government.
