Putin for Amerika!

The media has bashed President Bush repeatedly unmercifully. The President is a strong leader who doesn't lead by opinion polls. A leader doesn't just wet his finger and stick it in the air to see which way the wind is blowing. When a leader confers with his team of advisors, the credibility of the decisions he makes hinges upon the advice he is given. We've already learned that our security budget was cut by the Clinton administration. Of course the press ignores this fact and paints Clinton as a genius. The bias that the media has against President Bush is very clear. I would suggest why don't you stick to reporting the news and let Americans think for themselves.

it's so funny that the left only have to offer conspiracy theories about everything..."if the conservatives, we're not on earth we could all be butt buddies and love each other and there would be peace everywhere, the radical islamists are just trying to be our friends not cut off heads and blow things up, but because of that darn George W, we're all screwed." Iraq is a strategic plan to wipe out the Islamic threat, you don't understand it, so you make up stories...

I am American,

but come on people. President Bush and McCain dare say

that this is the 21st centery and nations don't invade other nations in the 21st centery? Ah, Iraq? Afganistan?

should i continue? Did he ask anyone if he could do this?

Did he listen to Russia or Europe before invading and desposing of Iraqs Leaders? Iraq never fire a shot at us (America)

yet they were a serious threat to us.

Georgia fired first at Russians living in a seperatist region of Georgia. Do they not have a right to protect thiere own people?

I have heard our president say that America will protect Americans anywhere they happen to be in the world. And that

we would pursue terrorist anywhere in the world. And that we would use any weapons at our disposal. So now Russia does not have this same right? No other country has this right?

I will tell you this, McCain told his followers that "today we are all Georgians". Well, speak for yourself McCain,

because we are not about to go to war with Russia over them.

It would be World War 3. And Georgia is not worth it.

To attack a nation with almost 30 thousand nuclear war heads would be suicide.

The greatest men in the World, like the greatest rivers in the World, can fairly be judged only by studying both the good and harm they have done in their lifetimes. The greatest rivers, in their journey from the highest mountains to the sea do great damage to nations; but the good that they do invariably exceeds the harm. But such is not the case with the greatest men, as observed in the starkly contrasting destinies of the German Fatherland, after the total defeat of the Marxists; and the Russian Motherland, after the total defeat by the Marxists.

Naturally, the respected judges of the greatest rivers and men, are never those who were defeated and destroyed; but rather, those who conquered and created. And an eternity of wailing, ranting, ideological rationalization, and historical fabrication can never change the World's final judgments of the greatest rivers and greatest men. The higher purpose of historical objectivity, in the study of Hitler, is to learn from his successes and failures; so as to do better in the inevitable future struggles for national survival.

GWB did meet with Putin on his way to the Olympic games and while there the invasion of a soverign country took place. Coincidence, of coure. But then.....

Yeah, Sam, I'm sure all involved are on the up and up, and that of course there aren't any corrupt lobbyists, neocon cabals, or "October Surprises." And American Imperialism? Doesn't exist.

Seriously, what are trying to say? You've offered nothing here but a vague notion that political conspiracy doesn't affect international events and that Scheer must be a nut case suggesting otherwise. Sorry but I'm not reassured by your simplistic rhetoric and empty sarcasm.
