McCain: "Nations don't invade other nations"
by smintheus
Wed Aug 13, 2008 at 03:30:57 PM PDT

To his increasing embarrassment, John McCain's aggressive demands for immediate confrontation with Russia in the Caucasus have been left high and dry by Russia's willingness to call a truce once it had humiliated the belligerent Georgian President. Today as he tried to justify his foreign 'policy' adventurism to reporters, John McCain made a rather startling pronouncement. As so often, McCain was taking his cue from his other inept ally, George Bush. Said McCain:

"In the 21st century, nations don’t invade other nations."

6. When I heard him say that, I yelled out loud and no one but the dog was here.
I've never done that before and even surprised myself. He said it more than once.

7. When was this?

I like the fact that we will now see how fair the media is. This is "Dean Scream" material.

17. Let's make him eat these words because that is all he has been talking about - invading countries!
First Iraq, then Iran, now Russia!!

This is what happens when old, gray-haired, balding men get to make the decisions on deciding when to go to war, sending younger people to fight and die in them!!!!!

Peace in our time - NO MCCAIN!!!!!
