Georgia should blow up the Roki Tunnel and cut off the Russians in Georgia. Starve them out.

Sounds like Putti-Poot got W's dander up. Never a good idea to get the dander of a Texan up.

Pass out the popcorn and the iodine tablets.

As concerned as I am about John McCain being president...

I am more afraid of losing our country completely.

The more I investigate the alternative, the more I look at the world around us right now, the more I know I’m gonna have to pull for John McCain.

And now, Russia is blaming the US for their attack on Georgia.

McCain our only chance.

I think that they should do more of this.

Instead of public meetings, with all the pomp, and decorum, and the tons of eyes, and ears, and instantaneous delivery to the internet, they met at a noisy girl’s BBALL game.

Pretty smart.

A chance to really ‘talk’.

The comments after the article are fascinating with regard to what is thought of the Prime Minister. Sounds like a bit of buyer’s remorse.

No one fights a war unless they think they can win. So I wouldn’t count Georgia out yet. Furthermore I’m getting sick of all the whinning about Bush not doing anything, and that McCain isn’t good enough. NO ONE is PERFECT! NO PERSON IN AUTHORITY CAN EVER PLEASE EVRYBODY! Personaly I would like 90% of all government jobs eliminated! 90% percent of all laws eliminated! Capital punishment for the mere mention of passing any socialist law! And the U.S. to demand and receive reparations from the rest of the world for either saving their tails or standing up to their thugery! Guess what it’s not going to happen! So vote for the people and laws that are closest to LIBERTY. Convince as many people as possible to vote for LIBERTY, and for those who won’t - LET THEM KNOW WHAT YOU THINK OF THEM!!!

The timing of this conflict doesn't make much sense to me.

Bush is going to be leaving soon, so why would the Russians prefer to strengthen the election case for McCain by becoming belligerent when they could wait a few more months and see if Obama is elected? They surely know that Obama would be much weaker regarding American foreign policy than McCain, right?

Maybe the Russians are doing their own American election polling and are finding out that Obama doesn't stand a chance, so they figure they better do it now before the Vietnam vet/POW gets elected?

That all might be a stretch, but still, if I'm the Russians, I wait to see if Obama gets elected, then it's party time. Doing what they're doing now is only helping the case for electing McCain, which wouldn't seem to be in the best interests of Russian hardliner old school communists.

If only Bush would punch Pootie in the mouth in front of the whole world his legacy would be assured

I had sworn I wasn’t going to watch them, but yes, I ended up doing so. We all noticed Bush was out of sorts, was looking at his watch, etc.

Putin was sitting right next to him and we decided that he was upset with Putin. We also noticed Sarkozy (I’m not sure how you spell it) of France seemed distracted also.

Let's hope McCain doesn't pick Mitt. No Romney, ever, has served in the military. Nor any of Mitt's strapping five sons. Further, Mitt couldn't take on any of the famously courageous Massachusetts hacks and any of their pet thieving projects. The guy is positively politically spineless. Good hair though, and proven spread sheet ability.

...an "animated" discussion between he and Mr Putin broke out...

Grammar police alert. It should be "...between him and Mr. Putin..."

Well this should quiet those that said Bush wasn't paying any attention to Georgia being invaded while slapping volleyball players on the but.
