My mistake. I thought the White House might try to make all of this go away by accepting Putin’s phony pretense that it’s a domestic uprising among ethnic Russians in Crimea, not an invasion by Russia. In fact, says the White House, there is a foreign element to the new troop presence — but it’s all good so far because Crimea isn’t resisting.
In other words, to save face over the fact that there’s nothing much we can do to stop this, the official U.S. line is that this can’t be an invasion if the Russians are being … greeted as liberators.

Admin officials tell CNN's Barbara Starr this
is an "uncontested arrival" not necessarily
"an invasion" and that this distinction is "key."

Popehat’s right: “Uncontested arrival” is the best Orwellian euphemism for war since “kinetic military action.” Laying aside the fact that we’re now lending rhetorical support to aggressive irredentism (the Tatars in Crimea are going to “contest” this “arrival,” I’m pretty sure), explain to me why he went out there an hour ago and blathered about his “deep concern” for violations of Ukraine’s sovereignty if we’re adopting the position that maybe Ukraine’s not the rightful sovereign in Crimea after all. I took his statement to be a condemnation of Russian action today, but maybe I have it wrong. Maybe all he meant was that a broader invasion of Ukraine would threaten the country’s sovereignty — although your guess is as good as mine as to how broad it’d have to be to trigger U.S. disapproval. A Russian incursion into the rest of eastern Ukraine might also go uncontested. At this point, if you’re Putin, hearing this reaction from the White House (and crickets from the EU, do note), why not give it a go?
By the way, while Moscow’s digesting the green light it just got from the U.S. to consolidate its gains, Obama’s at DNC headquarters kicking off happy hour for Democrats. I’m not kidding.

He drew his red line in the Ukraine’s most significant waterway, the Crimea River.
And a plane crash is an “unplanned interface with the terrain”.
I’ve had Pathological Liar in my other rants. Thought I’d just open up a rant on Obama and his toadies other characteristics this time.
Megalomaniac, Pathological Liar, Narcissist, Legend in his own Mind, Saul Alinsky red in training, Bonger, DopeHead, sleazebag (sorry, that’s his wife Sasquatch), racist, fake-writer (his two “autobiographies), athlete-wannabe, pansy, fake, fraud, commie.
Hope this makes up for my omissions previously.
It is not an “uncontested arrival” but an “uncontested occupation”.
“Uncontested arrival” = Anschluss
So it’s an ‘uncontested arrival’. What really can be expected from people who have tried to replace ‘illegal aliens’ with ‘undocumented migrants’?
“DID I MISS ANYBODY WORTH MENTIONING?
DID I GET ANYTHING WRONG?”
Could you go back and include DUPLICITOUS and DIABOLICAL?
come on this is the same administration that coined the term “ man-made disaster” for 911 and called Fort Hood “ workplace violence” this is nothing new they been doing this 1984 newspeak since it got in in 2008
What Obamawonk idiot came up with “uncontested arrival”. Call it what it is, “Unmittigated US Foreign Policy Disaster”
FUBO forever
I’m surprised there hasn’t been any mention of some sinister video that sparked off the whole thing.
Sing it Brother.
The only enemies that Obama engages are Boner and Ditch, and his usurpations have been delightfully “uncontested”. The the Happy Hour.
We we do have an admittedly french looking Secretary of State.
That was my first thought, too.
Maybe we ought to have a governor contest them then.
Sounds like a term invented during an intimate moment between Barry and Reggie Love.
