Seeing how the neocons with their tools from the University of Chicago and Harvard business schools already did everything in their power to ruin the Russian economy, turning it into a kleptocracy under the drunkard Yeltsin, Bush''s empty threats can be laughed at by the Russians.

And Europe--I don''t think they want to freeze in the dark.

And, strangely enough, it appears that Ronald Reagan did not make Russia disappear, despite the infantile ravings of "the gipper''s" Hollywood flack corps.

Nice work, neocons. You''ve destroyed any leverage the USA might once have had.

Or was that your plan all along?

I am disgusted that the US Marines are supporting terrorist attacks against unarmed civilian populations for the purpose of oil business and economic expansion. Bring those criminals home and put them on trial.

The old lies about Chamberlains "appeasement"will be back -he knew his once suckered population would never fight again to keep the rotten upper class in luxury.They ran away at Dunkirk,surrendered to a small force in Singapore& attacked thei own French alliies,after selling them out-all the propaganda since cannot support the lie!

I am so disappointed in the United States to promote genocide and mass murder in this small country. I guess just an extension of their Iraq - Afghanistan foreign policy. The United States is sick.

US taxpayers pay for the military to defend our country, not to go around the world murdering innocent people and stealing their oil. Just because the criminals in the White House are using our military to commit crimes against humanity doesn%u2019t mean that we are in any way obligated to make ourselves accessories to the crime.

"The U.S. is a country that needs to stand by a loyal ally," Charles Kupchan of the Council on Foreign Relations told CBS News. "On the other hand, it cannot risk military engagement because the stakes would be too high of a confrontation with Russia."
------------

Yeah, the "Shock and Awe!" screechers know that Russia is no defenseless Iraq and that going all loudmouth with Medvedev and Putin would mean pulling all the McShrub Lovers away from their Belgianweisers and Monday Night Football and into real American Casualties....and they wouldn''t just be able to send other people''s kids to die this time like they did in Iraq.

No kidding, what is Shrub gonna do? Wag his finger at Medvedev and Putin?

This has got to be the final embarrassment for the NeoCons. Everything they touch fails. Now their precious Georgia has been trashed.

They''re all loud-mouth "Shock and Awe!" until they come up against a real enemy and then Bush and Cheney and McLiverspot raise their skirts and run away crying like little girls.

So they are going to throw Russia out of the G8. Does that mean that Europe won%u2019t be buying Russian oil and gas?

How about Ford and GM? Outside their factories in China, those are the only Ford and GM units making money and carrying the rest of the companies. We have always known George Bush is a mental pigmy, but we should be very careful in this case. Bushie might think he can throw Russia out of his club, but that they can%u2019t throw him out of theirs.

What%u2019s Georgie boy going to do when he needs permission to cross Russian airspace to get to his airbase in Uzbekistan?

This has already been settled. Bush can''t punish Russia, didn''t anybody tell him. While Bushie was throwing a temper tantrum, Sarkozy and Medvedev got together like adults and settled a peace agreement, and they also agreed that Russia used an appropriate reaction to hostilities. If only we had an intelligent president like other countries.

IF you had successfully completed your basic education, especially in History, you''d KNOW that Conservatives TODAY are nothing but Yesterday''s LIBERALS! They couldn''t take the position of Yesterday''s Conservatives and get elected as a dog catcher!! Now lets stand and show the Reich we care!! SIEG HEIL McSlime

LOL Folks this is what happens when you drop out of school in the 6th grade!! LOL Now if you all remember the UN had INSPECTORS in Iraq when Bush LIED to us, saying he had the "Smoking Gun" PROVING they had WMD and he could NOT wait on those Inspectors to tell him what he already knew. HE sent our troops off into that desert to die over a "Smoking Gun" that freak KNEW never existed. I want a President who will NOT lie about a Smoking Gun. I want a President who will use our MOST precious asset ONLY as a LAST resort. Not one who will MAKE up excuses to kill them. SIEG HEIL McSlime

WHY RUSSIA WENT INTO GEROGIA,,,

Tensions between Georgia and Russia were strained over the Pankisi Gorge, a lawless region of Georgia that Russia said had become a haven for Islamic militants and Chechen rebels.

George,***,and Condi better get a clue, the sleeping Bear has been awoke, and their attempt to surround Russia with nukes and troops will meet with disaster. The attempt by the neo-cons and the NWO revelers to render the Bear impotent will bring heartache and disaster to the region. Georgia''s attempt at pushing the Russians out of South Ossetia failed miserably.

For the corporate media to attempt to label Russia as the aggressor is laughable. Especially when the originally reports admitted that Georgia attacked the Russian peace keepers in South Ossetia. If any punishment is doled out, it should be doled out to George,***,and Condi for having troops in Georgia training, and encouraging them to attempt such a senseless attack.

Except for supporting the French President, we should stay completely out of the matter. Reprisals, sanctions, etc have to be put on the shelf until someone impartial looks into what started this thing.

I personally find it so refreshing and good that someone else took the lead here and was effective.
It proves that we do not have to stick our noses into every conflict that comes along and lead.

"Just hours after Bush said in a White House address that the invasion had "substantially damaged Russia''s standing in the world"


and he should know something about lost standing...!
