Put Down the Crack Pipe
Put aside that we'll never know the truth about Russia's show of force in Georgia--whether it's really that they don't like Georgia's Western leanings and wants, or that Georgia is/was doing some bad shit in Ossetia regarding ethnic cleansing and Russia was merely defending them. My completely uneducated opinion is the latter because Russia has no problems with capitalistic whatzits. (To reiterate: 'completely uneducated opinion'--anyone out there with some real facts (Anton I'm looking at you) feel free to make a show and clue me in.) The US government is naturally siding with the former--and what is this? Propaganda, or yet another example of having zero intel on an area, or yet another example of fabricated intel to further an agenda? Or a combination thereof?
Put aside that McCain is not the president. Put aside that he and his rim-jobbers slammed Obama for supposedly acting like the president when he went on his big trip a few weeks ago. (Hypocrite, much?) Put aside, that he in his infinite feeble minded idiocy is saber rattling in Putin's direction. Excuse me, you and what army? Seriously, what in the hell is his lip flapping about...wait, total obliviousness--that's gotta be it. Or, and more believable-he's owned by Saakashvili-we know his buddy the Georgian lobbyist is too close for monetary comfort.
Put aside Rice and Bush's utter blustering ridiculousness with statements that invading and occupying other countries is wrong and they won't get away with it. Really? Who's going to stop them?? (Again, hypocrite, much?) Bush thumbed his nose at the UN, yet attempted to use them as a threat. Economical threats are hollow too. There is nothing to threat anyone with, you fucking jack ass.
Put aside the reality of why should they listen to us? There is absolutely no reason at all, thanks to Georgie. Were I Putin or Medveded, I'd tell Bush to piss off. You Republicans should be so proud of yourselves--one felled swoop, he's decimated things in our country, has alienated everystinkingone else on the planet, AND has the arrogance to stand in front of the world spouting morality, framed in flaccid bullyragging. Now, that's an accomplishment.
All of the above has been put aside--the worst part of all this? The worst part is that there are many people in this country think that McCain's reaction to Georgia and Russia was strong and decisive.
And that's what disgusts me--not so much (OK, I'm lying: very much,) those three (Bush, Rice, McCain), but the numbers of voters who are too stupid, or thick-headed to get any of this. To see how dangerous and just plain outright stultifyingly retarded it is to chest thump at this time, after all that has transpired.
[Not that it matter to the point I was trying to make but--Update: I'm watching last night's Larry King with Mikhail Gorbachev--if he can be believed, he says that Russia is defending Ossetia and Saakashvili has intentionally mislead the US.]
