    McCain: Nations Don't Invade Other Nations

    Posted:
    08/13/08
    If you're a McCain supporter, or the enemy of your enemy is John McCain, I present to you your cringeworthy moment of the day:



    Tip of the hat to ThinkProgress. Of course, the lefties have jumped all over this. Perhaps what McCain meant to say was that nations don't invade other nations, unless in response to an invasion of a third country and then after thirteen years of broken promises, a nation may invade another nation under the auspices of several standing UN resolutions.


    But that probably would have taken too long to say.


    The president's statement today was clearer and attempted to hit on the Russians desire to be seen as a first rate civilized world power. Which is a good thing to hit. On balance McCain has clearly picked a side, and it's the side that any American older than thirty years is conditioned to take (against Russia) and so politically I would say that McCain is going to get the better of this. And that's not even taking into account that McCain is probably on the right side substance-wise. Obama's heading there too, but too slowly to take any real leadership or get any points.
