President George W. Bush said the U.S. would stand behind its ally Georgia and warned Russia that it must respect the "territorial integrity" of the nation. A U.S. military cargo plane is heading to Georgia with relief supplies and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice will travel to Georgia to confer with President Mikheil Saakashvili.

I wonder if he told Pootey Putin that same thing in the sky box at the Olympics?

My guess is not so much.

"President George W. Bush said the U.S. would stand behind its ally Georgia and warned Russia that it must respect the ``territorial integrity'' of the Black Sea nation."

Did he say it with a straight face????

How awesome would it have been if they had a brawl on global television.

Maybe that is what we should do from now on, just have death matches between world leaders. It would definitely take politics out of your choice for president.

...death matches between world leaders.

Kimbo Slice for President.

Putin vs. Bush???

I'll put $1000.00 on Putin, he'd eat Bush for breakfast.

I HOPE all of us Americans die at the hands of Putin(and painfully) just so I can feel good about my uncontrollable Bush bashing.

I REALLY REALLY DO....

YEAH!

Putin is ex-KGB and highly skilled in several martial art techniques!

Bush on the other Hand knows some really good Cheers!


Does pretending this comparison doesnt exist make you feel good about your Idol Worship?

But anyway --- whats he threatening them with?

The Dollar? Nope ---- already trashed!

The Moral High Ground? ---- Already surrendered!

Military Action? ---- Unlikely considering its already past its limit in men and materials!

Maybe he could regurgitate his claim that his Preemptive Doctrine-- success is the thing of the Future? ---- Oops, dont want to do that again (declare sole success, and then have to deny ever having anything to do with it)!

Well since Bush is a little pussy I would have to agree.

Bush on the other Hand knows some really good Cheers!



C'mon give the guy some credit. I am sure that Jeff Gannon has taught him some really good "techniques".

Russia tells Bush to STFU:

President Bush,

Why dont you shut up? In your statement on Monday regarding the legitimate actions of the Russian Federation in Georgia, you failed to mention the war crimes perpetrated by Georgian military forces, which American advisors support, against Russian and Ossetian civilians

President Bush,

Why dont you shut up? Your faithful ally, Mikhail Saakashvili, was announcing a ceasefire deal while his troops, with your advisors, were massing on Ossetias border, which they crossed under cover of night and destroyed Tskhinvali, targeting civilian structures just like your forces did in Iraq.

President Bush,

Why dont you shut up? Your American transport aircraft gave a ride home to thousands of Georgian soldiers from Iraq directly into the combat zone.

President Bush,

Why dont you shut up? How do you account for the fact that among the Georgian soldiers fleeing the fighting yesterday you could clearly hear officers using American English giving orders to Get back inside-- and how do you account for the fact that there are reports of American soldiers among the Georgian casualties?

President Bush,

Why dont you shut up? Do you really think anyone gives any importance whatsoever to your words after 8 years of your criminal and murderous regime and policies? Do you really believe you have any moral ground whatsoever and do you really imagine there is a single human being anywhere on this planet who does not stick up his middle finger every time you appear on a TV screen?

Do you really believe you have the right to give any opinion or advice after Abu Ghraib? After Guantanamo? After the massacre of hundreds of thousands of Iraqi citizens? After the torture by CIA operatives?

Do you really believe you have any right to make a statement on any point of international law after your trumped-up charges against Iraq and the subsequent criminal invasion?

President Bush,

Why dont you shut up? Suppose Russia for instance declares that Georgia has weapons of mass destruction? And that Russia knows where these WMD are, namely in Tblisi and Poti and north, south, east and west of there? And that it must be true because there is magnificent foreign intelligenc such as satellite photos of milk powder factories and baby cereals producing chemical weapons and which are currently being driven around the country in vehicles? Suppose Russia declares for instance that Saakashvili stiffed the world and it is time for regime change?


www.counterpunch.org

In later comments by Mr. Bush he said "I really mean it!"

This is going to work out real well:

TBILISI (Reuters) - President George W. Bush's pledge to send aid to Georgia means that the U.S. military will take control of the ex-Soviet state's ports and airports, Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili said on Wednesday.


"You have heard the statement by the U.S. president that the United States is starting a military-humanitarian operation in Georgia," Saakashvili said in a television address.

"It means that Georgian ports and airports will be taken under the control of the U.S. defense ministry in order to conduct humanitarian and other missions. This is a very important statement for easing tension."

Or what?

What a putz!!!

Come on you bunch of neo-socialists, do you really think that pussy Obama would do any better in a death match against Putin. All Putin would have to do is make a comment about his monkey ears and he would crawl under a desk and cry.

One day you are going to have to get over this uncontrolled, childish hatred of GWB or you are going to end up beating your children while yelling "take that chimp."

I dislike W just as much as anybody, but what makes posters here think he is physically such a wimp? I mean you know he rides bikes and lifts weights all the time, it is basically all he does, isn't it? He's got that power walk. I'd like to see a matchup between him and Pootie who probably smokes and drinks a lot of vodka like a typical Russian.

"Pootie who probably smokes and drinks a lot of vodka like a typical Russian."

You missed the article and the pictures of him that came out a few months ago. Remember, he is former KGB. He is also an expert in martial arts and from those shirtless pictures appears to be quite fit.

That being said, you go to the caged death match with the President you have, not the President you might want or wish to have at a later time.

He could slap him silly with those ears of his.

Because he is a coward. He had his chance to fight for this nation in Vietnam and instead chose to hide out in the TANG. And he even f-ed that up by going AWOL, failing his physical, etc.

And he even f-ed that up by going AWOL, failing his physical, etc.

Nice try at deflection, Goatbreath.

But back on topic...
Bush can bluster all he wants but can and will do nothing. He blew all his political, economic, and diplomatic capital by invading Iraq without cause and staying there far too long.

Lest any of our right-wing trolls start the bleating about "invading Iraq good, less violence beh-eh-ter!" mantra, I'll pre-emptively shoot that down by reminding said sheep that millions were driven out of the Iraq and remain there, we have bribed our enemies not to fight us (and still today are bribing them), and we created our own Berlin Wall in Baghdad, a forced ethnic and political segregation that cannot last.

"I dislike W just as much as anybody, but what makes posters here think he is physically such a wimp? "

He's a spoiled rich kid. He was a cheerleader. He's afraid to be around anyone who disagrees with him. He falls off his bike. He got into a fight with a pretzel and it almost killed him......

Grumpy this is not true. I dislike him much more than anybody on the planet. I dislike him more than Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Karl Rove and Dick Cheney all rolled together.

At least those other people are intelligent in their criminality.

But back on topic

Joke, fool.

Now close your mouth and resume normal respiration techniques

Take a look at a mapfolks and tell us how we're going to assist georgia w/o Putin's approval. We had to get permission to return the cut and runner defeatocrat Georgians from Iraq.

But it's ironic. We fly Georgians out of Iraq to defend their border, but leave our troops in Iraq and our border open. The rooskies should have just said they're sending their military to do the jobs georgians won't do and McSame would be cheering them on....

Its nice to see an awareness here that simply doesn't exist in TV and radioland.

So now the family that conspired with JP Morgan and other rich fucks to take down Roosevelt by force, has set their sights on Russia. Our braindead entertainment and ratings focused media sits silent as another international crime is hatched before our very eyes.

Cheney and Rummy have disproved the common assertion that experience counts. Iraq and Afghanistan are reasserting themselves after untold millions of lives and trillions of dollars are wasted. Shrub is too stupid to listen to his Generals, getting rid of all that are not lap dogs. The Emperor has no clothes.

Shrub is trying to start another war and blame Russia. Will America ever wake up? All the NeoCons beong in jail, including Kissinger.

The pungent odor coming from this thread is the smell of wet panties, as aroused posters fawning over Putin wish they were the little boy he kissed.

The really fowl, sour smell is coming from Danni's direction.

Anybody who gets bitch-slapped unconscious by a pretzel....

OK here's a nice juicy rumor for y'all- American casualties reported (possibly true) AND photographed and Georgian flag airbrushed on sleeve to make it appear as if a Georgian soldier was the dead (probably not true). I'm hearing several US Southern European task force casualties from an undisclosed Airborne unit. Note this is a RUMOR, but seems to make sense on several levels. We'll here more in a few days if its really true.

...and now we'll have the DR righties second favorite technique of writing, the junior-high sexual insults (see: Live_or_die).

YEAH!

Well, that really wouldn't be so surprising, seeing that most of their ideology comes from that area of the world in the early 20th century, i.e. Trotsky. Like Trotsky, the neocons have invested themselves into uncompromising hawkish Bolshevik-style policy and politics. Like Trotsky, the neocons fight their battles internally via beauracracy and through media outlets that lend credence to their corrupt ideologies. They trust no one except their small group of like-minded believers, who are more often than not bound in blood by their unflagging loyalty and/or fealty to Israel or the zionist cause.

First step in America successfully dealing with Russia's newfound vigor is to get these clowns out of the sphere of influence in Washington, and I mean totally. Unfortunately, our two "candidates" for President have already sold their souls to this faction, either completely, or through at least taking their opinions and advice into account while making decisions that effect the very core of America's direction in foreign affairs.

they are either with us or against us? Russia's foreign minister declared Thursday that the world "can forget about" Georgia's territorial integrity.

Re: above. Once we can reassess our current foreign policy without the lobby of other countries getting in the way, we can then objectively plan modern strategic importance in the current relationships we have with other countries.

Israel is still impoortant, but we should not be giving them any financial aid, and force them to make their own alliances in order to build up honest relationships based on mutual benefit, not fear or loathing. right now, they are like the middle-manager who is protected by the big boss who goes around thinking he's hot shit.

We need to re-evaluate our relationships with middle eastern countries like Egypt and Saudi Arabia that have dicators at the helm. We should allow a natural cycle of self determination take place in the middle east, even if it means some major conflicts. The UN can deal with that, without our help.

We also need to re-assert our strength globally without coming into conflict locally with sovereign nations. The best way we can do that I believe is to put more focus on space, both socailly and militarily. Why? Well, no one lives in space-- you aren't going to piss off people by operating in it (unless Buffalo Bob is right about all them space aliens).

Lastly, we need to make the countries that rely on Russia for fuel and other things begin to rely on America for cheaper alternative methods. That is why we should focus much more on alternative energy, not just for ourselves, but to make a better product we can then trade with other countries-- this can be a extremely beneficial way of counteracting Russia's recent resurgence.

We have so many great resources in this country but we consistently take our eyes off this fact and instead focus on gloabal interventionism. Also WAAAY too much energy is spent in this country constructing propaganda to push across morally questionable global tactics to achieve unipolar hegemon. this has to stop.

The best export we ever had was our liberty and our tenacious know-how. We have seriously compormised those with our military adventures around the world and our economic outsourcing. This needs to again become our strongest suit. We should hope that there is a major revolt at the GOP convention that propels non-interventionists to the forefront. now's the perfect time, but alas, methinks I dream too much.


FAUX News is reporting the Gerogian troops are shooting at their reporters.

Go Georgia!

Lastly, we need to make the countries that rely on Russia for fuel and other things begin to rely on America for cheaper alternative methods.

Europe is light years ahead of us in alternative energy and conservation.

Bush don't care if war breaks out large between US and Russia. He's almost finishated his terminance in the white house as the chief deciderer.

Hell, if the Ruskie tanks did roll down the streets of DC, Shrub will just hop aboard Air Force 1 and fly on down to his new ranch in Parguay!

Bush may be no match against Putin, but geez, can he ever hit a golf ball!

For some reason after reading the headline I got the Black Knight scene from Monty Python and the Holy Grail stuck in my head - the US being the black knight, of course... - "Come back or I'll bite your kneecap off!"

Unfortunately for Georgia, the US just doesn't have the moral authority or the military might to go toe to toe with Russia in their own back yard - especially over Georgia.

Are you really giving the impression you would support a war conducted by Bush? Of course the US has the military might to kick Russia out of Georgia, but the US would end up staying there for many years to keep Russia out. Russia's weapons are not the same as the used to be, many broken parts, poor assembly. But enough to take on a very small country like Georgia.

"Of course the US has the military might to kick Russia out of Georgia,"

Not without withdrawing from Iraq, or resorting to nukes.

Come on you bunch of neo-socialists, do you really think that pussy Obama would do any better in a death match against Putin

Come on-you neo-fascist asswipe-do you really think Obama wouldn't be smart enough NOT to get into a pissing match with Putin in the first place?

Shithead......

If you look at the broader implications of the US entering into this conflict, you'd realize that it would soon be about more than just Georgia. When Russian and US troops are shooting at each other in Georgia, what's to prevent them from shooting each other in Estonia, Latvia, or other former satellite nations? The US can't just say "we declare war on you Russia, but only in Georgia." That's not the way war works.

Even if nukes were completely disregarded (which is not realistic), the US would be drawn into a much broader conflict which would be even more costly than Iraq in both terms of dollars and lives. Our supply lines would be long while Russia's are right next door. We'd probably eventually activate our allies (NATO), as would Russia. It's a strategic nightmare to try to fight Russia in its own backyard. How long do Russia's troops take a pummelling before Russia's military decides a nice little tactical nuke solves some of their problems? That's what I meant by not having the military might.

Why should it be up to the US to intervene anyways? France is also a Georgian ally and they've gotten involved by brokering a cease fire, not by intervening with their military. (I know, it's France, but still! they've managed to keep their troops at home in this conflict)

Russia will beat up Georgia's infrastructure and military capabilities for a bit then withdraw to the Osetia and abuwherever territories. We'll pretend they are still an integral part of Georgia for a few years, then there'll be a phoney referendum after the Georgians have been chased out and we'll recognize their independence and right to re-join Mother Russia.

Of course the US has the military might to kick Russia out of Georgia,

Of course? In your dreams.

"Why should it be up to the US to intervene anyways?"

We shouldn't but Georgia helped Bush with his unnecessary war in Iraq so it makes him look bad when we don't (can't).

We're sending band-aids and tarps. Later we'll borrow a billion bucks from the chi-coms to give them a new military.

i love how bush calls them "imperialistic".

Two things:

1) I wonder what Geroge Bush would do if New York wanted to be free from the United States?? Probably the same thing. I thought the american policy was "freedom for all"??

2) What did America tell Spain when we helped free Cuba from their rule? "Stay out of our hemisphere". Well shouldn't America stay out of their hemisphere??

we're so hipocritical.

We're fairly ignorant of history and its context, too.

And geography.

And we're illiterate.

I hate us.

sorry i meant "autonomy for all"

"1) I wonder what Geroge Bush would do if New York wanted to be free from the United States?? Probably the same thing. I thought the american policy was "freedom for all"??"

So the basis of your post is an assumption about what you think Bush do in a situation that will never, ever happen. If you're going to call someone a hypocrite, don't their conflicting actions need to be real and not imaginary?

I say we get behind John McCain, because John McCain has seen war and understands that we need to encircle Russia with NATO members to take advantage of both our superior moral position in the world, but also on the strength of the booming US economy and success of our other occupations. Otherwise, as they rightly understand, we need to do the next best thing: encourage our tentative and weak allies, and then dump them when it calls for action, because that's the only option left to posturing chickenshits who have squandered the walk(the US) but still talk the talk.

To joe.

Good job detective dick, since the word hypocrite was never mentioned. It was a simple "i wonder what" statement.

But everyone knows the answer. He would do the same exact thing if it happened. There is no if,s, and's, or buts about it.

Bush rides a mean mountain bike, is afraid of horses, and looks good in uniform. Are you suggesting a cage match?

In........

Have you met many male cheerleaders? I goto a major university and had a class with one last semester. He can hold a girl up with one arm, that takes strength. But I guess Bush could have been at the top of the pyramid :P.

This whole thing was planned by the Bush administration, to overcome the opposition in Poland regarding the 10 anti-missiles-missiles. So they encouraged the presidet of Georgia to attack.
As usual the administration was surprised by the fast reaction of the Russians. But at least they got the contract with Poland.
