This proves that McCain would be a foreign policy disaster for the US. The man is incompitant and does not know what he is talking about. ''we are all georgians now? What is he talking about.

Isn''t McCain being a bit upity and presumtuous?

McCain=WAR=BUSH

McCAIN SENIOR ADVISER SCHEUNEMANN IS TIED TO LATEST BUSH ADMINISTRATION BRIBERY SCANDAL

Randy Scheunemann took $160,000 from Stephen Payne. Payne was caught ON TAPE last week SELLING ACCESS to Bush and Administration officials IN EXCHANGE for CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE BUSH LIBRARY. Payne said he would arrange meetings with Dlck Cheney, Condoleezza Rice, and other senior officials in return for a payment of $250,000 towards the Bush library in Texas. Scheunemann and Associates represented Payne in his overseas lobbying. At a taped undercover meeting last week, Payne said Scheunemann had been %u201Cworking with me on my payroll for five of the last eight years%u201D.


Payne, claims to have raised more than $1m for the Republican party in recent years

Payne travelled with Bush and Cheney on multiple overseas trips.

Payne is on the DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE.

Payne agreed a $2m deal with the Kazakh government to arrange a visit by Cheney to the central Asian country. Cheney then went to Khazakstan and lavished PRAISE on the dictatorial regime of "President" Nazarbayev.

Many called the obama to be presumptuous when he talked to the leaders of western europe. Where is that outrage about mccain continually talking to the georgian president and sending his envoys, graham and lieberman to georgia. When did mccain corwon himself and start running foreign policy on his own. The georgian lobbyist Scheunemann, that helps run mccain''s campaign is earning his money from georgia and I am sure he will get a great bonus.

...Only McCain instantly understood the the situation and what was at stake. Of these three, only McCain is prepared for the proverbial "3 A.M." call....

WHAT?! You''re dreaming! MCCAIN?! That''s a laugh!
You want to put a guy with declining mental function hovering with his finger on the button?! A guy who doesn''t know the Shiites from the Sunnis when he''s in charge of the Foreign Relations Cmte when his party had the majority---and Lieberman had to whisper in his ear and inform him!? Get REAL! We NEED competence, and that IS NOT McCain!

Granted, I''m willing to agree, that quite frankly, there''s not much of a choice! We can only be thankful that HRC didn''t get the nomination then there would be NO hope at ALL!

Somebody needs to be helping and showing strength in this crisis...if Obscamma had his way, we''d just go over there and smoochie the Russians as well as radical Islam.

There is a lot of stuff in here that is clearly written by people who were not around during the cold war. I spent my school years practicing "duck and cover" and evacuation to the basement where the civil defense rations were stored. I spent most of my adult life wondering when, more than if, World War III would begin. And then, thanks to Reagan, Solzhenitsyn and Gorbachev, the war was lost by the Soviet Union without the expected loss of tens or hundreds of millions of lives.

Now Putin wants to bring back the "good old days" of when he was an officer in the KGB, the Soviet secret police. Bush was "indisposed" at the Olympics as he was on 911 and unprepared to respond effectively, Obama was vacationing and clearly in need of some consultation before even expressing an opinion. Only McCain instantly understood the the situation and what was at stake. Of these three, only McCain is prepared for the proverbial "3 A.M." call. We can only speculate about Hillary, because the New York news media apparently still has her blacked out.

Hey, who elected these guys that keep the news about Hillary and Edwards from us unless they want us to hear it, anyway?

Well, McWar.
Please, answer the questions, if You pretend to speak so loud ( an no one gave You the rigjht to speak on behalf of American people. No ONE).
So here are the questions for You:
How about thousands killed by fascist Saakashvili in South Ossetia %u201Cminor conflict%u201D?
How about destroying to ruins the Tskhinvali , the capital of South Ossetia by fascist Saakashvili %u201C?
So You, McWar, do support fascist Saakashvili, who is shooting this people, people, he wishes to belong to Georgia, so %u2013 his own people?
I do not care about Your prison experience., cause You do not care about people ANYWHERE.
You are selfish, old, low-minded , angry person. Living on beer profit , leading as to war.
More war, and more war %u2013 that is Your sense.
Shame on You.
And shame on those, who donates him and intend to vote.
You want more war %u2013 go for McWar.

Then McCain should be shown delivering hot bottled water to dehydrated babies while saying how he hopes Chzeckoslavakia can settle their differences and that Atlanta will never be the same if the Russians don''t get out of Georgia.
