    Re: The biggest laugh of the century

    That is nuts. How could anyone draw the conclusion that the McCain-campaign/advisors had anything to do with the unrest in Georgia. I mean, it's not like the Georgian government gave $800,000 to McCain's national security advisor, did they?

    Hey, wait a minute.....
    McCain’s top national security adviser, Randy Scheunemann, supports a policy of knocking off disfavored regimes by military invasion. In 1998 he helped write the law that declared regime change in Iraq as U.S. policy and sent $98 million from the U.S. treasury to con man Ahmed Chalabi’s group, which posed as the Iraqi government in exile. And in 2002 he helped with the marketing campaign for President Bush’s invasion of Iraq. Another policy Scheunemann pushed is expanding NATO into former Soviet states, such as the country of Georgia, which has paid $800,000 to Scheunemann’s two-man lobbying company.
    It's hard to get a clear message across when dealing with international affairs. Maybe the Georgians thought $800,000 was enough to get America to intervene. Apparently it wasn't; even though the Georgian president called on McCain specifically for action. I wonder what Randy told them they were buying for all that money?

    Georgian president Mikheil Saakashvili on Wednesday called for John McCain and other American leaders to do more for Georgia in their response to the conflict in his country.
    “Yesterday, I heard Sen. McCain say, ‘We are all Georgians now,’” Saakashvili said on CNN’s American Morning. “Well, very nice, you know, very cheering for us to hear that, but OK, it’s time to pass from this. From words to deeds.”
    Again, it gets a little confusing, doesn't it?
