Meanwhile, the Foreign Ministry tried to quash speculation that Russia was establishing military bases in South America.

The bombers arrived in South America ahead of planned joint military maneuvers between Russia and Venezuela _ maneuvers that appear to be a tit-for-tat retort to the United States for sending warships to deliver aid to U.S.-allied Georgia following last month's war.

Oh? Well, just for the sake of consistency, shouldn't we go ahead and invade Venezuela?

We at the GOP wish to thank the KGB and Chavez for this timely display of just why we can’t have a peacenik as president.

And another, that says he’s is not the best for the job, as the VP.

No nukes for Russian bombers in Venezuela

Awwwwww please? Can't we just drop ONE nuke on the bombers for the sake of the collateral damage?

At first I thought that Russia had sent some of the elderly Tupolev "Bear" turbo prop bombers to Venezuela, but these aircraft are the equivalent of our B1s. This is a highly provocative act as the Soviets used to say. It most certainly is in violation of the spirit if not the letter of previous American/Soviet agreements. Most certainly, I believe that it violates the Khrushchev-Kennedy accords of 1962 involving the placement and removal of strategic systems from Cuba and the Western Hemisphere.

That being the case, we should not only invade Venezuela and Bolivia, but also Cuba.

Unfortunately, Bush seems to be in a sleep state. Perhaps this is a result of the elections, but at some point we are going to have to respond to these Russian provocations.

If we are unwilling to remove the governments in Venezuela, Bolivia, and/or Cuba then we must deploy strategic systems to Georgia. The 1962 Soviet-American accords provided for the removal of American mid-range ballistic missiles from Italy and Turkey which had "irked" the Kremlin. If they've deployed strategic systems to the Western Hemisphere we should, must, deploy such systems to Georgia.

Therefore, Bush should,but most likely he will not, immediately deploy our B1s or FB-111s to Georgia with "test" missiles on them.

They should put me in charge of the CIA. They forgot how to be devious. They have soccer moms for spies who do nothing but blow their cover so they can blame it on Republicans.

By now, we would have developed a rail gun capable of shooting frozen seagulls at high speed from an underwater platform.

A couple of those babies would bring down a jet and upon examination it would be learned that the jet hit a bird somehow.

You could shoot down a dozen planes a year and nobody would be the wiser. Save it for the pesky high-profile ‘cold’ war tactics.

It would be hugely embarrassing for Pootie-poot if his two B-1skis crashed from hitting a couple of seagulls in Venezuela.

It would be hilarious too.

Did those Ruskies buy any Carbon Credits for the flights?

All that way carrying FAKE missles? What's up with that?

Don't they know Global Warming is the biggest threat to mankind? Somebody better make the 3 AM call to Gore.

Putin can keep screwing around until most foreign capital leaves Russia and the liquidity shortage gets worse.
