Obama Implies the United States to Blame for Russian Aggression Against Georgia - Video 8/21/08
Blogs for John McCain ^ | August 22, 2008 | brianinmo

Speaking yesterday, Barack Obama implied that the United States is to blame for Russia's aggression in their invasion of neighboring Georgia. Obama criticized the Russian invasion, and then said it helps if we (the U.S.) are setting the right example. It certainly seemed to be implied that Obama was equating the U.S. invasion of Iraq with Russia's invasion of Georgia.

Of course, Obama would not want to be bothered with the fact that the United States invaded Iraq to remove a despotic dictator who oppressed his people and Russia - led by a despot in Vladimir Putin - invaded Georgia to destroy their fledgling freedom and Democracy. But in Barack Obama's world, the United States is always the bad guy, and Obama is The One who is destined to make America what it should be. . . (see video)

Doesn’t take long for the left to blame America for the world’s ills.

Where is europe in all this? Cowering as usual, under the jackboot bearing the insignia of the latest “ism”.

Barack is probably half right. We did set a bad example by intervention in other sovereign countries. I think the countries were in the Balkans?

The only people to blame for their aggression is them.Hitler,Japan,any commie bastard country and on and on and on. They all have their reasons some have delusions of empires some religious such as Islam but all equal evil. IMHO

Wrong war, Obama.

The real precedent was clinton’s unprovoked attack on the sovereign state of Yugoslavia, with deliberate bombing of civilians, and his seizure of the province of Kosovo, which was then handed over to Muslim Albanian terrorists and drug runners by NATO and the UN—unfortunately with the compliance of George Bush and, I’m sorry to say, John McCain.

But it would be inconvenient to mention clinton’s dirty, illegal little war, because he was a fellow Democrat—even if he is now Obama’s worst enemy.

Obama provides the very best material against himself.

I hope that the McCain folks will be saving up all these idiot things he says on video and puts them in ads.

Of course, Obama would not want to be bothered with the fact that the United States invaded Iraq to remove a despotic dictator who oppressed his people... and with the approval of Barry's precious UN, to whom he'd turn to solve the Georgia crisis. A tad short of consistancy Barry, I guess that's change.

If this idiot becomes president, we’ll be invaded and attacked by all sorts of agressors, and this idiot will APOLOGIZE to them!

Worse yet, we have recognized Kosovo’s statehood against international law. This was a province of Serbia and we helped in it’s ethnic cleansing and then recognized it.

Just as Russia has done in the Georgian provinces by driving out georgians and sending in Russians and then claimingthe majority don’t want to be a part of Georgia anymore. Puty could make a good case (even to me) by recapping the Bosnian wars.

When asked by Rick Warren what the most "gut-wrenching" decision he ever had to make, Barry cited his opposition to the Iraq war. Now he is saying that our invasion of Iraq gave the Russians license to invade Georgia.

Since that's how he now claims he feels, why was it such a tough decision for him on whether or not to invade in the first place?
