You must think this guy can win the war by op-ed. If that is true then maybe we should elect George Will President. This is 2008 not 1938 and there is no need to tell us what is going on the way Churchill did (again prior to WWII) we know what is happening.
I would think we would be more apt to support a President who is leading the fight instead of printing an op-ed in a paper that by evening is in the birdcage.
Tbilisi is functioning as normal today.
It is his job to educate Americans, do poliitics, and fight Russian propoganda, not stand on a field somewhere and shoot a gun.
Sad that you continue to defend your statement. The fact is he is leading the fight where he can. He is a President,a politician, his job is diplomacy, policy and leadership. Not a soldier or General, he can’t strap on BDU’s and go gunnin’ down Russkies. He is speaking to allies and friends in a closed and open manner, he has spoken to his people and has appealed for help. THe man isn’t being some silly aloof brain dead idiot that is only writing op-eds like you want to pretend he is doing. You for some reason find it hard to comprehend that in this media driven age that a man who’s country is at war would dare take the time out of his schedule to appeal for moral and political help from people he considers to be his ally. You my friend are blind if you think what he is doing somehow morally wrong or politically inept and you sound like the wacky truthers who cried about how Bush sat and read a childrens book when the US came under attack. I feel shame for you.
Wake up and smell the coffee.
The Georgian army is tiny compared to the Soviets. Would you lead 3 cub scouts against the Sioux at Little Big Horn?
His only chance is to get the West to help his country.
And penning a piece for the DBM is going to help Georgia more than him riding a BMP into oblivion.
Drop it.
Britain would have been starved out, annhialated, and overrun if not for our help with supplies, arms, and logistics, and history wouldn’t look so kindly upon Churchill’s leadership.
Now Georgia needs our help, and he needs to make his case to the American people.
What do you want him to do, pick up a rifle, fix his bayonet, and charge the Russian lines?
With all do respect, Georgia has to do a better job of getting facts out. Thanks to the Russian domination of information in the region and the help of communists and ignorami in the international press, we are told that Goergia initiated this conflict. Actually, it was the Russian-backed Oseetes who did, following Russian reinforcements and a Russian “excercise” in the region.
