Huh. I see what you did there. Its dat a preeoree reasoning thingy

...also, if you think that Obama would get through 4 years of office without deploying troops, you are out of your fucking mind. Even excluding Afghanistan and Iraq.

...and where was the guy in oklahoma from? How many people helped him? Also, a terrorist attack that failed is little cause of concern. An orchestrated attack involving flying 747's simultaneously into different targets does warrant some fear in regards to sophistication of the enemy. Perhaps some fear and caution would have better served us after the first attack. Our attitudes were apathetic as we had already "crushed the giant red foe," and had nothing left to fear. We were forced to succumb to our own vulnerability and there was a large amount of catching up to do as a result.

or: "Realpolitik (German: real ("realistic", "practical" or "actual") and politik ("politics")) refers to politics or diplomacy based primarily on practical considerations, rather than ideological notions. The term realpolitik is often used pejoratively to imply politics that are coercive, amoral, or Machiavellian. Realpolitik is a depiction of foreign policy that should be based on considerations of power, not ideals, morals, or principles. Henry Kissinger believed that this should be how the U.S. conducts foreign policy."

At least he didn't piss off pretty much the entire rest of the world and undermine our credibility and then trash our military preparedness when faced with an opportunity to strengthened our position as world leaders. Your ongoing blind hatred of Clinton, who by the way has been out of office for almost 8 years, is nutty. So wait. You think we should intervene in Georgia? Do you think that Bill's war was justified. IMO these are mutually exclusive statements. Putin might as well be Tony Blair right now. He is pretty much doing the exact same thing as in Kosovo. He is also breaking some major rules of engagement and the Geneva convention, but hey, the principals of this invasion are mirror images to those of Kosovo.

Of course your agent would say that.

Did someone fly planes into the twin towers and the pentagon previous to 8 years ago? The world has changed. That our way of life is relatively unchanged is quite remarkable as I see it.

Sorry I'm getting to you FW. My point is that here are several "use the military anytime we want" chickenhawks that never served. Our current administration which is one of the worst. Sure Obama didn't serve. But he doesn't turn to the military everytime things don't go his way. Clinton too was true to his beliefs and was not a promoter of indiscrimenate use of our forces. You might want to rethink that statement. Just because it didn't involve huge ground forces or was broadcast on CNN, doesn't mean we didn't use military action during his term. He also led the charge for a fairly controversial war pretty damn near where fighting is going on as I type and the circumstances were eerily similar.

You know little of Eastern European mindsets and politics. They envision is as their land (which indeed it is). With hostile forces invading their land under the guise of "peacekeepers" they had no other recourse in their minds. Of course, the timing is peculiar at best. Georgia was also enabled by the West who it thought would come running to their aid. The only aid they have received is empty words.

Sure, but I am sure the likelyhood of McCain using the word in a similar way is just as possible. Just kinda looks interesing.
