McCain: Nations Don't Invade Other Nations

I think McCain meant what he said, and you can try to "explain" it as much as you want.

You want to go to war for "broken promises?" Then go enlist.

"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."

Or under false, planted, and/or cherry picked intelligence and outright lies.

i saw on the new clip there that fox was running the headline about Georgia being part of a "strategic energy corridor".........what they left out was the fact that the "energy" (oil, gas, etc) in coming out of Russia to the rest of the world.
And being on the north side of 30, all i can say is this in not about idealogy anymore, this is about power.....just ask any neo-con.

SORRY OBAMA. MOST AMERICANS DO NOT SUPPORT ISLAMIC TERRORISTS(HAMAS) ---- DO NOT SUPPORT DOMESTIC TERRORISTS(WILLIAM AYERS)--DO NOT SUPPORT RACISTS AND BIGOTS(REV WRIGHT, FLEGER, FARAKAN)---DO NOT SUPPORT HIGHER OIL PRICES---GIVING ILLEGALS HEALTH INSURANCE--GIVING CHILD RAPISTS MORE RIGHTS---YOU ARE A DANGER OBAMA

Mccain said whathe said but notice he didnt mention that the US illegally invaded IRAQ and last time I checked, Iraq was is and will be their own soverign country. So it is apparent he is just figuring that only when the US invades other countries it is really not an invasion.

Marty, you must be pretty smug right about now, knowing you are the smartest person on earth and have all the answers for the world today...

sorry freddie-----------as condi herself told congress: taxpayer's dollars are being funnelled to insurgents thru the maliki government.

Is it just me? Or, is there never a positive statement from these AOL writers when it comes to John McCain?

What does McCain call the United States invasion, overthrowing,and occupation of Iraq, and Afghanistan?
DOUBLE STANDARD, and DOUBLE CROSSING meddling in other Countries Business. What McCain calls LIBERATION, Iraqi's call OCCUPATION! McCain take some advice from someone who knows and cares about the situation in Georgia, leave this to Polland, Ukrania, Lethuia, Estonia, and Lativia and keep your warmongering tongue in your mouth. Stop creating enemies, don't we have enough already?

The reckless and vacuous John McCain makes Jimmy Carter and George W. Bush look like world leaders. McCain is extraordinarily dangerous. This hate, fear and war monger is not fit to be president. Barak Obama, no matter how un-American (Black) he is, is the only responsible adult running for the American presidency.

"THE OBAMA NATION"

FOR MONTHS, AMERICANS HAVE ASKED: "WHO IS BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA?"

THE ANSWER IS: "NOBODY KNOWS!"

In contrast to Hillary Rodham Clinton, Barack Hussein Obama has not been vetted --- not even by Democrats.

Even today he is largely an unknown to all but a small handful of dogged political professionals and a concentrated core of political junkies who inhabit Internet blogs. His face is known, due to all the biased media attention --- but we really don't know the man!

I CAN'T WAIT TO READ THIS BOOK TO SEE WHO OBAMA REALLY IS OR WHAT HE'S REALLY ABOUT!

McCain, do you remember stated on 1/27/08, there will be more wars, my friends? War is not the answer to everything, McCain. It's time to step down. You are not capable of running this country.

John McKill is sorta correcto, but he meant to say,
' self -righteous nations thirsty for oil as hypocrites due invade other nations to satisfy corporate greed. '
McKill is trying to pee on the Russians when he should be shutting up his mug over his support of the Bush invasion and toppling of an evilesque mirror image . Shame on McKill !!!

Once one has to deploy the phrase "Perhaps what X meant to say..." I think we have already headed into the realm of gaffe on the part of X.

It is possible he had qualifiers in mind, or that there was more to the clip. Still, when it is standing policy of the country for which X is running for the presidency to invade other countries under certain circumstances, it makes no sense to then to make universal statements against the notion of invasion. Especially when said country is currently occupying two other countries.

Most of the answers on here are telling us what McCain meant to say. Exactly why is it that McCain seems to be so freguently unable to tell us what he meant to say himself?

He meant what he said. He just forgot Iraq occurred in the this century. Conservatives seem to have short memories and

Georgia's huge South Ossetia mistake

By Gwynne Dyer

August 11, 2008

The war in South Ossetia is essentially over, and the Georgians have
lost. This was Georgia’s second attempt in 18 years to conquer the
breakaway territory by force, and now that option is gone for good. So
are the country’s hopes of joining NATO. Yet sections of the western
media are carrying on as if the Russians started it and are now
threatening to invade Georgia itself.

U.S. President George W. Bush has condemned Russia’s “disproportionate
and dangerous” response. Much is made of Russian air attacks on targets
inside Georgia, and especially of the inevitable misses that cause
civilian casualties, but the vast majority of the 2,000 civilians
allegedly killed so far in this conflict were South Ossetians killed by
Georgian shells, rockets, and bombs. Some shooting and bombing will
continue until all the Georgian troops are cleared out of South
Ossetia—including the 40 percent they controlled before the war—but then
it will stop.

Meanwhile, Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili is playing on old Cold
War stereotypes of the Russian threat in a desperate bid for western
backing: “What Russia is doing in Georgia is open, unhidden aggression
and a challenge to the whole world. If the whole world does not stop
Russia today, then Russian tanks will be able to reach any other
European capital.” Nonsense. It was Georgia that started this war.

According to Mc Cain- prospective president of the USA- "Nations don't invade other nations"..Then neither the USA, its coalition and Iraq are nations since the USA and its coalition
invaded Iraq.

According to Saakashvili "The Russian peacekeepers in Georgia would always be seen as occupiers".So how would he think the Georgian troops in Iraq would be seen as by the Iraqi people ???
