"punish russia" - that''s a joke

russia turns a little valve and europe can start collecting firewood.

she turns another little valve and oil is at 300!

punish russia? why?

punish the fools that supported georgia in their "suicide attack" !!!

[ajaxtheleast]

Suckassvili''s belligerence at the signing

suggests that his Department Of

Better Ways And Means To Make Russia

Invade And Humiliate Georgia have already

submitted his next plan to him.

[summarex]

My question is how are they going to tell the Russians that they are to be punished.

[haoli25]

The punishment for Russia should be harsh. I suggest a ''strongly'' worded letter of outrage, a complete social snub, and not return their phone calls for a month or two.

[sistatee-2009]

I hopes Russia takes France, so I can watch all those little white flags come out waving. The French do that really well.

[ajaxtheleast]

Not all bad.

Bush, Rice, Cheney boycotting meetings

will advance international diplomacy ten-fold.

You poor soulless liberals - you''re all still searching for some small shred of relevance in your pointless lives - and all you can seem to find is more seething rage about President Bush.

Keep searching - you''ll find meaning and a purpose to your suffering someday.

Or maybe not.

By the way, you''ve just lost your War on America - what''ll you do next?

"We''re going to Miseryland!"

The U.S. is angry with Russia because of an unwritten agreement or rule not to mess with each others interest and this usually serves the interest of both parties. The U.S. didn`t invade Cuba or attack Iran out of consideration for Russian interest. Georgia is a U.S. ally and definitely a U.S. interest especially considering the fact that Georgia deployed 2000 of its troops along side the U.S. in Iraq and also has an interest in joining NATO. The U.S. is offended that Russia beat up on one of its interest and its scary to think the punishment the U.S. has in mind may be to return the favor!

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.

[andor3]

punish Russia? that IS funny...

[deacon20081]

And Bush said of Putin, I looked into his eyes and saw his Soul,it looked just like mine...
Goes to show one evil eye knows another.

[ilyasib]

Punish Russia....sounds so funny! US would rather think how to avoid some Russian %u201Cnuke%u201D punishment in a near future. Bear%u2019s patience is about to be over Bush!

[piercetheval]

...Who the heck are we to judge?

[patriot12436]

paul harrison
if we follow your plan then we won''t have to worry about Israel anymore, since it will only be a glowing light on our horizon.

[patriot12436]

If we exiled bush and cheney to Russia would that be cruel and unusual punishment for the Russians ?

[pirmin3]

If Bushit wants to punish Russia he should appoint Kindasleazy as ambassador to Moscow. Hee hee hee

[shingles1]

''...attending to Georgia''s urgent humanitarian needs following five days of fierce fighting, including Russian attacks on civilian targets.''

CBS seems to have forgotten the Georgian attacks on civilian targets that started this whole thing.

It feels like we''re in some sort of bizarro world here, in which WE THE COMMENTATORS are doing the f*cking media''s job here, since they''re absolutely refusing to do it.

[bluestardad]

WHAT ABOUT BUSH CHENEY PUNISHMENT FOR IRAQ?
