“No wonder ACORN was "anticipating the subprime loans pushing people into mortgage foreclosure."”

“I don't think that would have made an ounce of difference to Russia. They obviously had this planned out well ahead of time, and anything short of military action by us wouldn't have changed a thing.”

“I agree. I don't think the US is in a position to dictate anything to Russia. After all we have been arming Georgia to the teeth and our own military is stretched razor thin.
But you asked what an 'appropriate response' might look like and I think, given the realities we face in that region, Obama's response was appropriate. Unlike John McCain's war mongering, Obama did not resort to phony saber rattling or issuing empty threats.”

“So what would the appropriate US response have look like? Should we have immediately declared war on Russia and sent in the bombers?”

“I think Obama's response during his vacation press conference struck the right tone - political reconcilliation - while Georgia should pull back its offense against South Ossettia and, in response, Russia should call for a cease fire.”

“There is no appropiate response. That is the point.
Bush has squandered the influence and power of the United States.
Needlessly antagonized Russia and tragically encouarged georgia on advetures the USA could noty back up.
Georgia is screwed.
And World War I started on less provocation.”

“Of course, why bother with discussion at all? Who cares if the arguments being used to support one side are invalid? We should all just mindlessly follow the leader. Well stated.”

“The numbers used by Sher are from a report that assumed oil would be $60/barrel. Because oil is so much more expensive now, the impact of recovering the OCS oil would be much greater.

“Did you actually read the article??? Cause they bring in oil shale, which is so energy intensive that it's actually losing money EVEN IF OIL IS $200/BBL!!!!”

“If you discover that you are speeding down the highway in the wrong direction do you,
1. Step on the accelerator and rush headlong further away from where you know you must go eventually?
2. Look for the quickest safest place to change direction and do so?
3. Continue to discuss the challenge as you move further away from your desired destination?
I'm sure you understand the question.”

“I don't think it would be all that great if we left and allowed the Taliban to take over again. They will kill many more innocents than we have.”
