Kaine Says Russians "Complied With" Obama's Request for a Ceasefire; Tanks Continue Rolling Into Gori

And people thought Hillary was arrogant. I remember my Father in Law before he died says she was "Machavellian". LOL. What a joke, seems we've been fooled again, the one with the real "god complex" is Obama.

One day, McCain wants Russia kicked
out of G-8. The next day, he wants
to work with them in reducing
nuclear warheads.

On NATO expansion, he doesn't care
what the Russians think. Then he
turns right around and says he wants
their cooperation in dealing with
Iran.

Tim Kaine must be the manager for The Back Street Boys too!

What a teeny bopper statement.....

Time to bring McCain up on charges for violating the Logan Act.

Obama claims he will "text" his choice
of V.P. Do you think he secretly texted
Russki and Georgian leaders to bring
this crisis to sudden denouement?

Neither do I.

"...the senator's request for a ceasefire has been complied with by President Medvedev"
LOL!!!
Too much kissing of Dearest Leader's behind has given Kaine a high!
So, Sarkozy was there delivering Obama's request? You can't make this up!

WAS a Bad Crisis ? no longer ? as opposed to good crisis ?

Tim Caine...dum ber than a Quayle

Mike.

Russians tried to hit pipeline, but missed. At least that was the initial report.

In mcCain's speech, he makes the false claim that Russia tried to bomb an oil pipeline. If you just read the speech, you would never know that the Georgian army tried to take S, Ossetia, making it sound like everything started last Friday. The casualty numbers he's talking about are the South Ossetians, but he makes it sound like it was the Georgians. He made the claim that a foreign minister of some unnamed country said that Russia wanted regime change in Georgia (huh? Thats supposed to mean something?). Then he goes on to say 'today we are all Georgians' - except the South Ossetians, I guess.

McCain is rambling. Perhaps a senior moment?

Barb and Bucky.

Probably one of the many reasons Obama nixed Town Hall meetings with McCain -Obama's four to six consecutive words without hesitating seems about right. Also, Obama had promised Bill O'Reilly that he would appear on The Factor. Bill's team has tried many times to schedule Obama but has struck out. It's interesting that McCain will go into the lion's den to campaign, but Obama won't go near any media or groups possibly favoring McCain.

WHAT CEASE FIRE - THAT IS EXACTLY THE POINT - THE RUSSIANS ARE STILL POURING IN. BUSH HAS BEEN THE FORCEFUL ONE. Look for the Russians to back down because of the BUSH RESPONSE.

“This is not 1968, and the invasion of Czechoslovakia, where Russia can invade its neighbor, occupy a capital, overthrow a government and get away with it" said Condoleezza Rice, apparently with a straight face and no trace of irony.

Obama's WHY CAN'T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG diplomacy will cause him to be the doormat and laughing stock of the world if he were to become president. Georgia invasion by Russia may be evidence that this is already happening. OBAMA IS SENDING THE WRONG MESSAGE TO THOSE WHO WANT TO DO US HARM.

Okay, for those saying that Obama was "wrong". Please explain.

His initial response was based on the facts as that were known at the time. He called for a "cease fire", which, coincidentally, was precisely the approach taken by the Bush White House and World Leaders to the conflict."

I'll explain, ChrisNBama: Obamafans are like their "leader": you folks double-speak. A few months ago, you touted Obama's not voting for the war in Iraq. Clinton voted -- along with most of the members of the Senate and her (to use your words) "response was based on the facts as that were known at the time." Everytime this moron is found to have made obviously dire judgement calls, you folks allow him to offer painfully thin excuses in the name of "if you're not voting for me, you're either stupid or racist." The media has helped this man's campaign along by proliferating reverse discrimation. From a university educated African American, here's a note for you: we're not voting for him and we KNOW why. He's not ready, he's inexperienced, he's not honest, and he's too stubborn to admit that he's is, in fact, NOT God. We've had one megalomaniac too many. We don't need Bush Redux.

Cease fire --- hmmm maybe the Russian Navy didn't hear about that, since they blew up a Georgian ship today.

Putin wants to rebuild "Mother Russia"...and the Urkraine is next.

Scary -- but it is history repeating itself. WWII Germany invades Poland, etc. Wonder if the French will scream for USA help when they reach France.

Oh yeah, I forgot; Kaine is an idiot. Why is CNN calling him a young man? Are they trying to convince us? 'Cause we can SEE him. He is either much older than Obama or looks really bad for his age......Which is it?

Oh right; because Obama the Senator, supercedes all other heads of countries on the world stage who made the same request. OH BOROHUTHER!

Jake – you’re not giving Obama enough credit here. Not only did the Russians comply (symbolically) with Obama’s request for a ceasefire – apparently the entire international community rallied behind Obama when he asked them to step in.

If Obama’s goal was to be “tough and smart” – he certainly achieved that! A CEASEFIRE – BRILLIANT! What would the world have done without Barack Obama’s leadership on this one?

Clarification: Sarkozy talked to both Medevev and Putin yesterday at the Kremlin.

President Sarkozy from France was the one who flew to Russia to work things out with Putin for a cease fire. Everyone else would like the credit for however long the de-escalation lasts.
