Dana is a great guy and an excellent congressman, but he’s wrong on this one.
This is NOT the Dana Rohrabacher I knew. He’s dead wrong.
Wondering if Dana read this:

Some people are saying!
Georgia was baited into the conflict... the Russian response was over the top.
I think it’s time to find another Republican to fill Rohrabacher’s seat. He has made similar stupid (and dangerous) statements with respect to Israel and the PLO:
“Dana Rohrabacher’s Troubling Friends”

The article left out that his district is Los Angles, beach front in the great State of California. Clearly that comrade Californian decided to ignore the rule about letting politics stop at the water’s edge. He should have been a Democrat.
Vote him out!
goof ball.
that’s going to help out a lot.
mccain’s pro-georgia.
This guy was nuts when I first met him in YAF forty years ago and his psycho-pathologies haven’t improved at all.
dana, you are WRONG on this issue!! We need to support Georgia!!
What if it turns out that the Congressman has sided with truth? Even if Russia is run by organized crime (it seems to me) even Al Capone must have told the truth once in his life.
I do not suggest that I know the truth about this.
However IMO this goes back to Clinton bombing of Serbian civilians and his support of the criminal and Islamist KLA.
Some "sided" with Russia and against Clinton at that time also.
He speaks from deep ignorance on the issue. That is unfortunate.
“unidentified intelligence sources”
FSB?.../just saying.
So anyone -- especially a Congressman, more especially a Republican Congressman -- who disagrees with the accepted account of the events of last month must be a "rebel" or maybe a comsymp.
Well, I have not made up my mind who is at fault, but I will say that most here seem to have instinctively blamed the Russians, and that worries me. Especially worrisome is the idea that's gaining a foothold that Georgia is our "ally" in some undeclared war, and we need to protect its territorial integrity at all costs, even if it comes to war with Russia.
This idea runs counter to the policy that prevailed a scant decade ago when the Serbian province of Kosovo wanted to be independent from Belgrade. Then, a certain American general who shall remain unnamed convinced both Pres. Clinton and a Republican Congress (with considerable help from a conmpliant media) that Kosovo should be independent and that a NATO intervention was called for because of the impending genocide, and you know what happened next. Bombs over Belgrade. Bombs over the Chinese embassy. And through it all we took the side of the KLA, who were in league with the Taliban. Nice going, State Department.
It does not serve the American people for the US government to be taking sides in border disputes or secessionist movements in far-off countries that not one person in fifty could place on a map, let alone know anything about.
Rohrabacher may be right, he may be wrong, but he has every right to voice his opinion. Those calling for his scalp should refocus their efforts on politicians who do real harm by intentionally misleading the public.
Dana is not a conservative, he’s a commieservative
He’s wrong. The Georgians didn’t start it, and the Russians haven’t finished anything.
This is disgraceful. Rohrabacher is Wrong! I hope he was just misquoted.
