McCain: Georgia Conflict "First Serious Crisis" Since Cold War

Speaking at the Aspen Institute in Colorado yesterday, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) said that recent Russian aggression in Georgia is the "first...serious crisis internationally since the end of the Cold War." McCain seemingly ignored the Gulf War, 9/11, and the Iraq War, to name a few:

My friends, we have reached a crisis, the first probably serious crisis internationally since the end of the Cold War. This is an act of aggression.

BUSH GREEN LIGHTS WAR IN GEORGIA (PART TWO)

At the same time at the order of the Imperial President George Bush (3) Battalions (2000) Georgian Aggressors who had been trained in Iraq, by United States Armed Forces were flown from Iraq to Tskhinvali, to aid in the fight against (UN) Peace keepers and New Soviet Russian Citizens.
Georgia de facto, members of (NATO) The North Atlantic Treaty Organization by decree of the Imperial President of Military Industrial Complex of the United States. To be protected by the Military Industrial Complex of The United States.

The path of freedom you have chosen is not easy, but you will not travel it alone. Americans respect your courageous choice for liberty. And as you build a free and democratic Georgia, the American people will stand with you.... [T]he sovereignty and territorial integrity of Georgia must be respected -- the territorial [sic] and sovereignty of Georgia must be respected by all nations. (The Imperial President George Walker Bush)

If that's what he said in public, you can just imagine what the Imperial President of the (MIC) was saying in private to Georgian President Saakashvili about the Russian forces that have been encamped in and controlling Georgia's breakaway province South Ossetia since the breakup of the Soviet Union?

just watching CNN another expert (ret Gen. Grange) on global and military affairs who made some interesting observations but capped it by just referring to Ossetia and Abashistan.

Aye vey! We are going downhill.

I have been out of town for a while-I am trying to find out what is happening in Abskaya? Is that a new country at the Beijing Olympics?

The first serious crisis since Gettysburg.

If a reporter pressed him to explain as the man with the "experience and judgement fit to lead" why he does not consider Afghan war, Iraq war and 911 to be serious, McCain's response would be:

You left wing wing media pick on me because you don't ask Obama that question

Shut up you Trollop

Get rid of that reporter. Kick him off the straight talk bus

Damit where is Lieberman when I need him?

Why do you hate America?

[GiannaX]

This man is incompetent...OUT OF IT! A colossal embarrassment. What is going on in this country?!

[pacats]

Agree with what you have written. When will the msm challenge this guy on his many incorrect statements.

The "other side" does want a working relationship with the US, just not the version being shoved at them. I doubt if anyone remotely connected to the WH has read this:

Guess THEIR (Russia) act of aggression is different from OUR (USA in IRAQ) act of aggression. Did we not attack a sovereign nation (Iraq) which had not attacked us??? What makes that OK but the crisis in Georgia not? I feel for the Georgian people who must be wondering where all their so called friends are. We can tell them.....the majority are sitting in Iraq. And our wimpy President sends them our wimpy Secty of State. What does he think Miss Fashion Plate is going to do???

The first serious crisis since the Cold War has been America v. the Republican Party.

[SuiginTou7]

Yada yada yada same fear tactics,same desperation. It's a broken recorder

[MajorKong]

Boy, he sure dropped that "global struggle against Islamo-fascism" or whatever they're calling it these days like a hot potato.

The Bush Administration is looking for ANY fight it can in order to interfere with the elections. Remember they think a WAR is the best way to keep the GOP in control...go figure it was a DEM who Nuked Japan to end the War. Dems do just FINE in Defending the US. People have simply forgotten.

[laragale]

ya know - i once thought Bush was truly the bottom of the barrel but McCain proves that when you pick up the barrel and look beneath that .....

[FatherWolf]

Has Old John forgotten everything the last 15 years?

Or has he reduced himself to saying things that aren't true, day after day, just for the effect.

[pacats]

He knows his comment will go unchallenged by the msm. Let one of the groups make an ad out of this statement. Show the numerous events/crisis we have gone through since the Cold War, that Mc Cain considers minor events.
