You have to admit that Senator McCain is really not in control of his own campaign and his recolection of current history is becoming less clear as the election goes on.<BR/><BR/>As for Iraq, President Bush lied and we just steam rolled in with the greatest military strength the world has ever seen simply because he wanted too.Papamokahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14611162290397820224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10249940.post-9134315027485183092008-08-18T21:01:00.000-05:002008-08-18T21:01:00.000-05:00It's not strictly fair to compare the Russian inva...It's not strictly fair to compare the Russian invasion of Georgia to the American invasion of Iraq.<BR/><BR/>The Russians intervened to stop an actual war which had suddenly been started very close to their own border and which was driving a large flow of refugees into Russian terrtory. They intervened to protect Russian citizens, several hundred of whom had already been killed by the aggressors. And they were retaliating for the killing and wounding of Russian peacekeeping troops in the area.<BR/><BR/>No equivalent considerations applied in the case of Iraq.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
