Barr stands with South Ossetia...(Barr On Putin's Side in This)

Independent Political Report ^

“The Saakashvili government in Georgia made a foolish mistake by initiating hostilities in its breakaway province of South Ossetia,” says Libertarian Party presidential candidate Bob Barr in a press release entitled No Foreign Aid for Georgian War. “American taxpayers should not have to pay for that mistake. After all, they already are paying $10 billion a month for the administration’s mistaken invasion and occupation of Iraq. They cannot afford to pay the price for other people’s wars as well.”

In response to the press release, Liberty Maven says:

It is comforting to know that Barr is quick to point out what the press and the Bush administration seem to want to sweep under the rug: Georgia instigated this conflict. Even if the Russian response was disproportionate that fact remains.

Add one more to the Pat Buchanan pile supporting Putin and the Ruskies over our ally Georgia.

[whitedog57]

Bob Barr is still angry with Republicans over his loss of his House seat. Hence, he will do everything to make McCain lose the election.

Bob Barr - the infant denied.

Bob, take some Effexor or other anti-depressant and get over yourself.

[BGHater]

Lol.

Typical Libertarian, wanting to fix America's problems before the Worlds.

ROTFLMAO
I thought the headline was about Roseanne Barr.

[ConservativeMind]

Can you describe what Georgia did to “provoke” Putin into invading?

[Verginius Rufus]

The Russian disinformation campaign at the beginning of hostilities was very effective...a lot of useful idiots have accepted their line.

I saw a report (Fox?) that an opposition politician in Georgia is blaming the conflict on the Georgian president. Same instincts as our Democrats but the stakes are higher for Georgia in this conflict than they are for the US in Iraq.

[mnehring]

Seems he is causing more problems for the US by throwing our ally under the bus and siding with an old enemy in this matter.

[mnehring]

Don't ask me. I know what Russian propaganda said, but I think they where waiting for someone to sneeze wrong.

I thought the headline was about Roseanne Barr.

Same thought here . Like one of the stories from the Daily Mail about separated twins having the same tastes and personalities .

[mnehring]

I thought the headline was about Roseanne Barr.

Politically, is there really that much of a difference?

[top 2 toe red]

Bob Barf Barr.

[AmericaUnited]

I thought the headline was about Roseanne Barr.

No, if it was "that Barr", the thinking would have been more rational. :)

[mkjessup]

Georgia instigated this conflict. Even if the Russian response was disproportionate that fact remains.

Could you tell us the difference between Hitler declaring that Germans were being 'oppressed' in the Sudetenland, and Putin declaring that Russian ethnic groups were being 'oppressed' in South Ossetia?

Was Hitler likewise 'provoked'?

[SolidWood]

Hahaha! Barr... what a freaking traitor. So-called “principled conservatives” that intend to vote Barr should realize that they’ll vote for an open lickspittle of Putin and Saddam Hussein.

[kbennkc]

Boy will he feel silly when he finds out it is about the other Georgia .

[Romulus]

We have no business being allied with Georgia.

We would never tolerate Russian alliances on our doorstep. We have no strategic interest to defend over there. Neither Russia nor Georgia has clean hands in this affair, but our intrusion into the area is inflammatory and dangerous.

[Cold Heat]

Well!

Scratch that vote off my list.

[mnehring]

Please don’t ask me to try to justify Barr’s or Putin’s accusations. I just report.

The Paleocon solution to the world's problems:

[BGHater]

The US wouldn't have as many problems if we cut back on our Security Bailouts Across Europe.

We are seeing signs of that. We have kept Europe safe for years.

What have they done? They have spent their money on their socialism, welfare, and long vacations. Instead of reinvesting it into their Defenses and Military.

Putin sees them as weak. He is right. At some point they gotta learn to defend themselves.

We had Hurricane Katrina where thousands depended on the Gov’t for help. Now their is Hurricane Putin, same deal but, now Foreign Gov't turn to us for help instead of being prepared.
