Obama Sees Iraq And Georgia As One And The Same (Equates Russian actions with United States')

VOTE Obama and equate Iraq with Georgia: Really:

Democrat Barack Obama scolded Russia again on Wednesday for invading another country’s sovereign territory while adding a new twist: the United States, he said, should set a better example on that front, too…

“We’ve got to send a clear message to Russia and unify our allies,” Obama told a crowd of supporters in Virginia. “They can’t charge into other countries. Of course it helps if we are leading by example on that point.”

Says Andrew Bolt:

A contender for the presidency of the United States sees a parallel between the US invading Iraq, a bloody tyranny in defiance of UN Security Council resolutions, to replace its dictator with an elected government, and Russia invading Georgia, a democracy in breach of no international law, to punish it for seeking the protection and friendship of Europe and the US…

Saddam Hussein. Remember him..?

I go more for self-government. Hopefully by trusted proxy if one is necessary.

How does a country invade its own territory?
