Georgia: Tailor-made for the McCain campaign?

[DemoTex]

The more I hear the more I fear. I smell the Rove-Rats all over this.



Rove's rats

1. Let's ask Mikhail Saakashvili.

Considering how upset he was today, I guarantee you won't see the MSM interview him again on the matter any time soon.

2. I missed that ..

Maybe Olberman will cover it.

TBILISI, Georgia - Georgia's president grudgingly signed a truce with Russia Friday, even as he denounced the Russians as invading barbarians and accused the West of all but encouraging them to overrun his country. A stone-faced Condoleezza Rice, standing alongside, said Russian troops must withdraw immediately from their smaller neighbor.

President Bush talked tough, too, accusing the Russians of "bullying and intimidation," but neither he nor Rice said what the U.S. might do if Russia ignored them.

Seriously. I would love to put McCain and Georgia's president in the same room and see what he has to say about McCain's superb foreign policy skills now. :rofl:

3. He sure didn't like being asked

a question to the effect was the attack by Georgian forces on the the town of Tskhinvali an error of judgement. He didn't answer : just went off into one of his boring monologues with a series of half truths.

4. Thanks

I've been out of the loop all day.

5. It was a dumb-dumb foreign policy failure,

by the Bush administration. But unfortunately Cold-war posturing by republicans still seems to work for them politically. People can't see the details about how Bush set up the area for this tradgedy. It's just wooo-haaah republicans kick ass on the bear! More and more dumb-down in an election year.

Nuclear arms in the Middle East
Israel is attacking the Iraqis
The Syrians are mad at the Lebanese
And Baghdad does whatever she please
Looks like another threat to world peace
For the envoy

Things got hot in El Salvador
CIA got caught and couldn't do no more
He's got diplomatic immunity
He's got a lethal weapon that nobody sees
Looks like another threat to world peace
For the envoy
Send the envoy
Send the envoy

Whenever there's a crisis
The President sends his envoy in
Guns in Damascus
Woa, Jerusalem

Nuclear arms in the Middle East
Israel is attacking the Iraqis
The Syrians are mad at the Lebanese
And Baghdad do whatever she please
Looks like another threat to world peace
For the envoy
Send the envoy . . .
Send for me

14. Obama can't play the obvious card during the crisis.

Assuming we don't end up in nuclear war under Bush's steady hand, Obama will have an issue against the Republicans in a month or so. He can't very well state the obvious right now: "This crisis is yet another Republican f-up." If he did, the GOP would accuse him of undermining the president in time of crisis. But once the crisis is past, I certainly hope Obama will avail himself of the opportunity to point out the Republican national security incompetence this crisis demonstrates.
