Why is the world ignoring that Georgian president had broken the agreement with Russia from 90s and cross the border of Osetia during the night and performed genocide of Osetian people. In this case Russia went there to prevent genocide of innocent people. The Georgian president is not democratic at all. Would you call American president democratic if he is going to start killing his opposition? Saakashvili illuminated all his opposition.

The United States has the strongest military in the world and they are broke. They got just what they voted for. Now George Bush has to divert our attention to his dirty little wars as we go around the world stealing oil. Although we may be bankrupt, George Bush and Rick Channey have got fabulously wealthy. Vote for John McCain and get more of the same.

Imagine a world in which you lose your job because your company goes under, your retirement money disappears, the value of your home tumbles overnight, your bank stops allowing cash withdrawals, and your ATM card is canceled. The price of groceries has risen so fast that you don%u2019t have the money to pay for them at the check-out counter . . . and the country is bankrupt.

History provides some harrowing examples of what happens when an economy collapses under the weight of unsustainable debt.

As of February, the U.S. national debt stood at US$7.7 trillion. And this year, the country is projecting another record deficit of US$427 billion, increasing its debt by about US$1.2 billion a day.

Ouch it is! It would be nice to have some of those high paying American jobs we outsourced to India and China to generate income to pay off the debt.

I guess working at one of those great Wal-mart jobs created by the Bush administration just does not provide enough income to pay off the mortgage or to put gas in tank.

Russia is coward. It is taking advantage because Georgia didnt join NATO yet.

Possibly. However, with our military engaged in the middle east and the ineffectiveness of the U. N. there was little risk associated with Russias actions.

Bush and the GOP can talk tough all they want to, but a realistic perspective is there is little we can do but impose economic sanctions.

Its a simple matter that the GOP knows proposing a military draft to pursue their global agenda is political suicade in an election year?

As a result Iran, North Korea and Russia know they can pursue their own agendas without a sigificant risk.

You call it taking advantage of a situation and it cetainly is. However, this is a resulted from the B.S. foreign policy our current administration has ultized over the last 8 years.

Its time to make the GOP pay for their mistakes! Vote Obama.
