How Should the United States Respond to the Russian Invasion of Georgia?

The US SHOULD MIND THERE OWN BUSINESS, AND NEVER INTERFERE AND PROVOQUE WARS AROUND THE PLANET.The bush administration was the worst ever, and should be tried for war crimes. Jad

Posturing Windbags....

Posturing for us, like strutting roosters, Thats about I can say of our US politicians, Theres not one thing they can do about it yet they rave on contradicting each other and even themselves hoping to win a point in an election year, Let alone our leaders bumbling around we have wannabe leaders blindly shooting off their mouth in far away places and they dont even represent us (yet)

russia vs georgia

in response to russia vs georgia.

it has been said that we are streached because we are in both afganistan and iraq. iraq wants us out. lets go to georgia and fight the kind of fight we can win. and at the same time take out the most potent adversary that we have, before russia regains full force.

we have almost 3 million men and women in the us armed forces. one we are being fleeced by our own government or we have already great manpower. we must protect our friends in diffucult locations and stop tilting at windmills. russia has one purpouse, to dominate all its surrounging countrys. we will face them now or we will face them latter. now is the time to face the bully on the block. our armed forces are ready and if we unite the country to achieve this victory we will keep the bully russia within its boundrys at least. remember it has the gas and oil card which we must counter by drilling and developing as many renewable fuel sources as possable.we must hold our own with the cheapest fuel the most conservation as possable. dont forget nuclear. or wind. we should put a windmill in the congress and senate maybe their way. it is important to know that we still have giant amounts of fuel right here at home. why do we squander our wealth overseas?

this is the first time that i have expressed my feelings. i am a common workman who has served in the armed forces.

think of it as the sudatenland and draw your own conclusions. my dad was with the 101 502 d co. and jumped into the contintine penintula on d-day -10 or so hours. dont let it get that far or it cost a lot more then seeing putins bet.
