		<description>The &quot;far left&quot; as you call them are fairly mainstream.
We do not like Georgia&#039;s aggression against Russia.
We do not like that President Mikhail saakashvili
has decided to make the first viable AA candidate for US President look bad.  We do not like him playing the race card this way.</description>

		<description>The far left&#039;s reflexive nature demands that it take positions diametrically opposed to that of conservatives&#039;, regardless of how clearly rediculous they are.

This crisis is another perfect example: the left opposing the westward-looking, democracy-loving Georgia in favor of age-old Russian tyranny.</description>

		<description>Read John McCain&#039;s thoughtful and detailed statement on the Russian invasion of Georgia carefully. It&#039;s all about working with allies and the rest of the world - together &quot;we&quot; can solve this crisis. Contrast that with Obama&#039;s latest comment (after his first weak, painfully short, and startling call for the parties to resolve their differences - total moral equivalency bs, ignoring the stark power differences between the mighty Russians and tiny Georgia), in which he reiterates &quot;MY&quot; call for the Russians to step down (I paraphrase here). The point is that it&#039;s all about Obama. The Russians had better follow &quot;MY&quot; orders! 

Who in God&#039;s name does he think he is? It reminds me of the day after the last Demoratic primaries, when he demanded that &quot;MY&quot; party (the Democratic Party)would no longer take money from lobbyists (which Obama takes hand over fist, not directly, of course, but in contributions bundled by big law firms representing the lobbyists, lobbyists relatives, etc.)

What an egomaniac!!</description>

		<description>Randy Scheunemann was &lt;em&gt;one of the founders&lt;/em&gt; of the Project on a New American Century (PNAC, created in 1997) which wrote-up the preemptive war against Iraq in 2000, before Bush became president with his &quot;vulcans,&quot; courtesy of George Shultz.

Scheunemann was also one of the founders of the Committee for the Liberation of Iraq, involved in the Straussian neocon cabal&#039;s propaganda and intelligence concoctions against Iraq.

Scheunemann also owns and runs Orion Strategies, LLC, hired in &#039;04 by a Soros front to help create more chaos in Burma. Open Society Instituteis deeply involved in the current situation in Georgia--Hell, they brought it about.

Joseph Onek, a key operative for that George Soros Open Society Institute and Open Society Policy Center (&quot;Center&quot; created after 9/11 &quot;to promote public policy reform&quot;) has been Chief Counsel for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi since the beginning of her term, February 2007.  With Onek as Chief Counsel, Pelosi is hard-wired into Vice President Dick Cheney&#039;s preemptive war schemes.

Impeachment off the table? In September &#039;06,  Onek declared, &quot;impeachment would be a foolish case of bad judgment.&quot; He also said that it would be foolish to put the Bush administration up on charges of war crimes, since this would encourage foreign nations to put out warrants on this issue.

It&#039;s a rat&#039;s nest, and neither McCain or Obama would begin to clean it out.</description>

		<description>Oh, and BTW...

&lt;strong&gt;Randy Scheunemann, McCain&#039;s top foreign policy adviser, is a member of Project for a New American Century (PNAC) and was president of the Committee for the Liberation of Iraq.&lt;/strong&gt;  

&lt;strong&gt;Do you know who and what those organizations are, or the parts they played in Bush policy? &lt;/strong&gt;

If not, don&#039;t be trying to tell me that McCain wouldn&#039;t be the Third Bush Term until you&#039;ve found out.

		<description>&lt;em&gt;...that continues to lobby in Washington &lt;strong&gt;on behalf of&lt;/strong&gt; Georgia,&lt;/em&gt; I meant to say.  

The point, of course, is that John McCain is under the influence of the same neoconservative forces as George W. Bush.  All of the same influences that propelled us into the invasion of Iraq are still around and still at work.  There&#039;s the same cabal of private, neoconservative special interests, attempting to turn an election, to guide the policy of the nation, and--as always--to turn a profit, whatever the consequences.</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;It&#039;s probably not worth mentioning that Randy Scheunemann, John McCain&#039;s top foreign-policy adviser, was a paid lobbyist for Georgia until last March.  Or that he&#039;s &lt;em&gt;still&lt;/em&gt; an owner of Orion Strategies, a private lobbying firm that &lt;em&gt;continues&lt;/em&gt; to lobby in Washington Georgia.&lt;/strong&gt;   

Scheunemann is a neocon businessman who pushed hard for the invasion of Iraq.  He convinced former Soviet block nations to support that Bush policy, all while making a lot of money representing former Soviet block republics that want to get into NATO.  

So now the guy is McCain&#039;s top foreign policy adviser.  No suggestion of conflicts of interest or ulterior motives in any of &lt;em&gt;that&lt;/em&gt;, right?

		<description>McRepublican sounds too much like Cheney.

War.
War!
WAR!!!

I put together a detailed comment with links over an hour ago. It has been sucked into s digital black hole (hasn&#039;t appeared).

Meanwhile, there are &lt;em&gt;excellent&lt;/em&gt; reports on many aspects of this drive toward war at

		<description>Um, kiddies BHO is only a junior senator, he can&#039;t even call out the Illinois National Guard to help the Georgians.  McCain&#039;s analysis of the events in Georgia are neither brilliant nor even helpful.  With the US totally bogged down in Iraq and Afghanistan there is next to nothing we as a nation can do.

The situation in the Caucuses is much more complex than McCain presents it.  There is a ungodly mix of people and cultures  and old enmities in them thar mountains.  Plus somehow every one at this &quot;national security site&quot; managed to forget about next door neighbor Iran. A little more thinking and whole lot less Obama bashing is in order.  

Come on Larry, start thinking about &quot;The Great Game&quot; and &quot;power politics.&quot;  Start getting your facts from some place other than Wikipedia or the CIA factbook.  There are plenty of scholarly books and articles about Georgia how about siting a few?  Less boilerplate; more research please.</description>

		<description>Sad thing is the US has no power anymore and no moral authority to tell Russia to do anything.  The UN is useless and always has been.  It should be dismanteled.  When the government started cutting our military strength and outsourcing our manufacturing base to foreign sources, they began to weaken this country.  For a quarter of my life I&#039;ve watched our government take care of other countries to the detriment of our own.  I&#039;m afraid we&#039;re going to reap what we&#039;ve sewn.  We are in no place to take on Russia. We helped them recover after the Soviet Union dismantled, now look at them and look at us.  I really feel sorry for Georgia, looking to us for help, and we&#039;re helpless.</description>

		<description>I have posted some seven quotes and links expanding (agreeing, but not touching on all your points) far below.

I suppose that all those links have sent it to moderators.

Unfortunately, my afternoon in Southeast Asia is early in the morning for those of you on the East coast in the USA.</description>
