"Democrat Barack Obama scolded Russia....for invading another country’s sovereign territory while adding....the United States, should set a better example on that front, too...."

“Obama: Russia, U.S. should not ‘charge into’ other countries”

That’s right we shouldn’t.
We should only charge into Sudan, Pakistan and any other countries Democrats deem fit.

I told you this loser doesn't have the first clue how we got into Iraq. Must have been at the gym with his “comrads”.

[Road Warrior ‘04]

Barack Hussein Obama has no limit to his idiocy!

Show your liberal friend an article written by the editor of the very liberal "The New Republic" titled:

Bush never lied to us about Iraq
The administration simply got bad intelligence. Critics are wrong to assert deception.

Russia...don't be naughty or I'm gonna tell on you!

And show this to your friend...

"CLINTON: Good evening.

Earlier today, I ordered America's armed forces to strike
military and security targets in Iraq. They are joined by 
British forces. Their mission is to attack Iraq's nuclear, 
chemical and biological weapons programs and its military 
capacity to threaten its neighbors. 

The hard fact is that so long as Saddam remains in power, 
he threatens the well-being of his people, the peace of 
his region, the security of the world.

The best way to end that threat once and for all is with a 
new Iraqi government -- a government ready to live in 
peace with its neighbors, a government that respects the 
rights of its people."

Great. We invaded Iraq after years of UN resolutions, begging and pleading with Iraq and resolutions in Congress. Russia charged into Georgia without warning. Equating these two invasions proves yet again he is too ignorant AND stupid to be President.

He’ll be able to stand up, but he won’t be able to sit down.

Reasons to vote for Obama: Supports infanticide. Will stand by his muslim brothers over the US Wife hates America Sat in an America-hating, racist “church” for 20 years Bought a $1.2MM house in Chicago thanks to Tony Rezko Thinks Clarence Thomas is not qualified to sit on SCOTUS Friends with terrorist Bill Ayers Has never held a management position in his life American citizenship is questionable Attended schools in Indonesia where he was listed as a “muslim” Voted “Present” 130 times while in the IL state legislature Was called a constitutional law professor when, in fact, he was a lecturer What’d I leave out?

Thinks that as president he will govern 57 states.
Doesn't think the National Anthem should be played at his campaign appearances. (well, I kinda actually agree that Obama has no right to hear the National Anthem because he obviously is no patriot!)
Has used a number of aliases, and most likely did not list his real name (given name at birth) when he completed the necessary paperwork to run for Senate or President. (An action that is against the law - and he should be excluded as a candidate on that infraction alone)
Has an upside-down American Flag printed on his convention tickets.

Come on, everyone, there is a long list...

I believe yours is an appropriately cynical comment. The Greatest Generation here and in Europe has done a poor job of raising their kids and the next generation isn’t any better. Most are now concerned about disturbances of their rights to complacency, comfort, and self-actualization through enabling behaviors. People are unfamiliar with the concepts of peace and freedom, except those few who volunteer to fight on behalf of others.

In Western democracies, people desire intellectual comfort food supporting serenity and apathy, spiced with selective moral exhibitionism. Elegant foreign policy models defining necessity, proportional response, multi-lateralism, re-deployment, and exit strategy ensure turning a blind eye, agonizing over the body count from afar, or cutting and running.

Few remember an urgent desire for freedom, or regard peace as the priceless jewel that can only be obtained by winning the war. The events of Soviet totalitarianism commencing with the Russian Revolution are no more relevant than Japan and German adventurism beginning with Manchuria and the Rhineland.

I try to write from the now archaic perspective of the parents and grandparents of the Greatest Generation. These people held the positions of power throughout the darkest times of this world. Their words and deeds expressed a durable morality earned through emersion in the worst economic catastrophe, and the ultimate bloody deluges of the twentieth century.

Peoples’ actions today are particularly reprehensible, because they reject the council of these people. I try to at least make my expressions of position a point of reference.

I wish someone would ask Obama about Clinton’s Kosovo bombing.

Was that the on point example BHO was referencing?, I mean that's the example Russia has referenced as a sorry excuse to invade Georgia.

[madameguinot]

Can you say, “PRESIDENT MCCAIN”?

[auboy]

I certainly hope so!!!

[Mr. Binnacle]

Yeah, what were we thinking on D-Day?

[SendShaqtoIraq]

please tell me he really said that

[rfp1234]

He would have said just that, if he’d been born in the Age of Patton and MacArthur.
