The shuckers and duckers of the world need to be exposed for who and what they are.

WE'RE NOT TO BLAME FOR NEW RUSSIAN AGGRESSION
The American left seems too quick to echo the Russian line. It's our fault. Building those systems is somewhat like the Cuban missile crisis, except that we're the wrongdoers this time. Georgia was mistreating Russian citizens in its disputed territories, and Russia therefore was obliged to step in. Tommyrot.
Any one who has ever bothered to study the history of Russian and Soviet aggression knows that they never invade without some pretext. Take the Georgian invasion, for instance. Did Putin protest to the United Nations that Georgia was misbehaving? Did he consult with world leaders over how to best handle his "concerns?" Certainly not. Russian simply invaded and laid out the storyline later.
In further examination of the situation, Russia agreed to withdraw from Georgia, which they have not done. In fact, they booby-trapped and mined the relatively small areas from which they did withdraw. These actions do not at all sound like the Russians are being the least bit forthright. Their threats to take on Poland indicate to me that the invasion is already in the planning stages, and the Ukraine would not be far behind.
Once the Soviet Union has been reassembled, I suppose everything is content to think that they will stop there. However, if you study the economic and energy issues of the area, you certainly would have to suspect that they would partner with Iran in a Middle East showdown, right smack dab on the border with Iraq. Of course, if we get our troops out of Iraq now, we won't have to be in the middle of it.
Putin craves power, and he was miffed at rising to the leadership of a much diminished Russian world influence. He is bound and determined to reassert Soviet power and military dominance on the European continent. These claims of American and Georgian wrongdoing simply provide him with the cover.... the pretext for his actions.

EDWARDS DESERVES A BREAK: He's Not To Blame
If others get away with it, then that makes it legal.
What politico has ever faced criminal charges over such a situation? I can't think of any.
So, John, as far as I'm concerned, you have a free pass on this one. Even if you did use public funds, PAC money, or other restricted funds, you've got nothing to sweat.
Oh... About the wife..........?

GEORGIA IS ON ITS OWN, TWISTING IN THE WIND: Who Is To Blame?
Or else what? First of all, the humanitarian aid is probably going to get confiscated by the Russians as soon as it lands; their troops are already storming Gori, regardless of their pledges to cease fire. And then, as history will show, Russia is not likely to honor any promises it makes until it is damned good and ready to. In fact, history will show that the Georgian exercise is most likely just a ramp up and training exercise for future actions to re-consolidate the Soviet Union and further, that this was a Russian test of the will and ability of the free world to respond.
And here we sit, impotently flapping at the gums while the tanks roll on. What else can we do?
We have a decidedly weak President and administration that has royally screwed up in Iraq and maybe Afghanistan, we have a war-weary military stretched beyond thin with a budget to match, we are faced with Islamic Terrorism at every turn, and we have lost so much stature in the rest of the world that no one is really willing to step up to the plate and support us.
So, I guess the real question of the day is not what we're going to do about Georgia, or the Ukraine or anything else. The real question of the day is whether or not that child belongs to Edwards or not.

THE PHONE RINGS AT 3:00 AM: Obama Fails To Answer
Bush reacted from China with a timorous statement through a generic White House employee. McCain issued a statement calling for the immediate and unconditional withdrawal from Georgia by Russian troops and called for an emergency session of the United Nations. Obama fumbled the ball, simultaneously condemning the attack and saying everyone should sit down and talk. And, he showed who's the guy who cares about the situation by staying in Hawaii and sunning himself on the beach.
Now, of course, he's not President yet, so what could he do anyway? Given his lack of expertise on the subject and a national question as to whether or not he is prepared to take the Presidential reins, I would think he'd want to calm the jittery nerves of the world by either flying back to the mainland or by flying some top, key advisers and staff down to join him in Hawaii to "bring him up to date on the situation." He didn't.
One can only surmise that he is too arrogant, doesn't care what people think, or in the hands of totally incompetent campaign staff. He has indicated to me, at least, that his response to national emergencies is going to be weak and fainthearted, somewhat like what we had in the Jimmy Carter years.

GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE FINANCIALLY LIABLE FOR FAILURE TO PROTECT US FROM OURSELVES
Since we have collectively abrogated our individual responsibilities to take care of ourselves, and have given those responsibilities over to the Government with nary a whimper of protest, and since the Government has taken the opportunity to issue laws, regulations and directives to regulate the conduct of our lives, I hereby assert that the Government is responsible to reimburse us for any losses occasioned by their failure to regulate.
If, therefore, we die of cancer that was caused by the smoking and inhaling of tobacco products, and the Government has allowed such products to be sold, the Government should compensate our families for the loss of our life.
If an assailant, using a gun that was not registered, shoots us and causes bodily harm, the Government should be liable for our hospital and medical costs because they failed to remove all illegal guns from the streets.
If we buy a cup of coffee and burn ourselves because the coffee is too hot, the Government is responsible for not testing the temperature of the coffee before it was sold.
Similar examples of Government liability are not necessary to make the point. By taking it upon itself to insert its regulatory self into the daily conduct of the many varied aspects of our lives, conduct which has traditionally been the responsibility of the individual, the Government thereby places itself legally responsible for the aspects of our lives that it fails to regulate.
