If Bush sent U.S. troops into S. Ossetia, should Dems back him or not?

[Ken Burch]

Ultimatum Boy seems to want to start World War III before he leaves.

Clearly Yankee intervention could only lead to nukes a-flyin'

[whistle]

1. U.S. troops are already in Georgia Republic as advisors, so we are in deep shit

...from the get-go

[Purveyor]

2. I vote NO and I've yet to hear a DEM come out and condemn the Georgian agression that provoked

this confrontation....

[Barack_America]

3. What the hell is NATO for? nt

[Phoonzang]

4. Might as well ask whether we'd all like purple dinosaurs

to ride. It's just not going to happen. This isn't Iran we're talking about here. A shooting war with Russia will give even the craziest neo-cons pause.

[Dr.Phool]

10. I wouldn't bet on that.

I was at the gym today, and Faux was on with no sound (thankfully).

I think they wee interviewing Bill Kristol about Georgia, and he looked like he was getting a hard-on.

[TwilightGardener]

5. We aren't going to put our military in the middle of this. Bush won't do it.

McCrazy would, though.

[TheDonkey]

6. LET'S GO TO WAR!!!!! FUCKIN AA!!! YEEE-HAA!

Oh Brother. :(

[CreekDog]

7. doesn't this belong in General Discussion?

:eyes:

[WA98070]

8. What f'n troops? We have none that's why Russia felt safe to do this!!!!

[nc4bo]

9. You didn't list my choice; HELL NO. So I picked #1. nt

[HooptieWagon]

11. Nancy wants to keep her powder dry....

but I understand Harry Reid is preparing a strongly worded statement.

[Ken Burch]

14. Well, a worded statement, anyway

:eyes:

[nsd]

12. I actually think that Bush (weirdly) has been more balanced on this than McCain.

I don't think Bush would actually attempt to intervene, but McCain might. If McCain gets elected, the world really might be in deep trouble.


ETA: fixed typo

[anonymous171]

13. No. I prefer Non-intervention in my foreign policy, thank you.

We shouldn't have to police the world.

[FVZA_Colonel]

15. I think even Republicans might take issue,

given that such an act would essentially launch World War Three.

[Yukari Yakumo]

16. Other: Do we even have an army to send? {nt}

uguu

[depakid]

17. That would be insanity

[Douglas Carpenter]

18. I think it is safe to say, that is absolutely not going to happen

[eshfemme]

19. The Dems need to show some fucking backbone this time.

They need to bring up the fact that the justification to go into S. Ossetia is as flimsy, if not flimsier, than the reason to go into Iraq. Yes, evidence does point to a Bush fuck up leading to the war (in both places) but that's not a fucking excuse to just resort to military force because as Iraq has proven, that's just blown up in our fucking faces.
