Daily Show: Invading sovereign countries is fine…unless they’re in Europe
—
Jon Stewart recaps the current situation in Georgia (and the media’s ridiculous coverage of it), and calls out President Bush for having the chutzpah to condemn Russia for invading and disrespecting Georgia’s sovereignty — because only reckless bully countries with no disregard for international standards do that kind of stuff.   Download  |  Play  ...

The weak in review
WTF Is It Now?!? — Lord, the FAIL was high and deep this week: Grampa Simpson surprised that onion tied to belt no longer the fashion. Same with that “Do as we say, and not as we do” thing Russian attacks near Atlanta, Savannah worry Americans Edwards, in deep hole already, discovers new route to China Nation’s top law officer says “Naughty, naughty!” to Goodling and Sampson, ignores Gone-zales role in Rethug gutting of Justice ABC and Cokie Roberts belatedly recognize Hawaii as state --divageek ...

Go Away Already.
Daily Kos — ... Just stop talking. Go away. Shut your malevolent gob. I'm sorry, but it'd be something akin to a sin to be even remotely polite about it anymore. Listening to people like Mitt Romney and Hugh "I have absolutely no memory of the last week, much less the last five years" Hewitt... listening to Grandpa McBombsalot declaring that in this century, "nations don't invade other nations"... our U.N. Ambassador Zalmay NotBoltonThankGod saying "the days of overthrowing leaders by military means (in Europe!), those days our gone"... Russia "expert" Condi Rice furrowing her brow and ...

RUSSIA'S INVASION OF GEORGIA IS LIKE SADDAM'S INVASION OF KUWAIT - and it should be met with the same response
astuteblogger.blogspot.com 8/11/2008 — RUSSIA PUSHED PASSED THE "DISPUTED" REGION OF SOUTH OSSETIA AND IS NOW ATTACKING AND INVADING GEORGIA PROPER. (MORE HERE. ) LIKE SADDAM'S INVASION OF KUWAIT, THIS AGGRESSION MUST NOT BE ALLOWED TO STAND. RUSSIA MUST BE SEVERELY SANCTIONED AT THE UNSC (FORCING THEM TO VETO IT!), AND THEN IMMEDIATELY THREATENED WITH MILITARY RETALIATION - BY THE USA AND NATO. WE SHOULD: QUARANTINE THEIR ...

andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com 8/14/2008 — Peter Wehner huffs and puffs over my comparing Russia invading Georgia with the US invading Iraq. Reihan offers a semi-defense from Wehner while still critiquing my position on Iraq. (Good point on Kosovo, though, and one the Russians are very keenly ...
Did American fumbles provoke Russia? — TigerHawk
Kevin Drum, one of your more principled lefty bloggers, disposes of the argument that the Bush administration somehow provoked Russia into invading Georgia: The idea that we somehow prompted Mikheil Saakashvili to undertake his invasion of South Ossetia last week just doesn't bear scrutiny. Look: Saakashvili came to power on a Georgian nationalist platform of recovering Abkhazia and South
No wonder the Right wants to revive the Cold War -- it was easy to understand (for them). It's a shame real life really isn't like pro wrestling — DownWithTyranny!
"American newspapers have run story after story about how "evil" Russia invaded a sovereign neighboring state. Many accounts made it seem as though the conflict was started by an aggressive Russia invading the Georgian territory of South Ossetia. Some said that South Ossetia's capital, Tskhinvali, was destroyed by the Russian army. Little attention was paid to the chronology of events, the ...
Russia & Georgia, US & Hamas, Cheney & Musharraf — Informed Comment
Bush's demand that Russia "reverse course" on Georgia and not try to overthrow an elected government is full of special pleading. Bush has no standing to ask anyone not to go around invading countries , of course. That is the point of his underlining that Georgia's government is elected. Why Bush would never undermine a democratically elected government, would he? But that is exactly what he ...
Invading Sovereign Countries: It's OK if You're Bush — Daily Kos
Bush today : "Russia has invaded a sovereign neighbouring state.... Such an action is unacceptable in the 21st century.... We have no doubts about it. This is a deliberate attempt to destroy an entire country and change the regime." Right. Invading a sovereign state to destroy a country and change the regime isn't acceptable in the 21st century. Good to know. Which leads us to precisely ...
Not a Parody — Weekly Standard Blog
From Pravda , under the headline, "Russia: Again Savior of Peace and Life:" The international community collectively held their breath waiting for the reaction of Russia after the savage, brutal, criminal attack by Georgia on South Ossetia. After having offered a ceasefire in hostilities, the back-stabbing Georgians immediately violated the ceasefire, invading South Ossetia and causing ...
The Georgia Situation — Ankle Biting Pundits
Given the education many in our society have received, there are likely a good number of people watching the news who think that Russia is invading the southern United States and is about to take over Atlanta. Sadly, the situation in Georgia is not at all funny. The Russians are basically showing a smaller country that it can do to them what they wish, when they wish and that the West ...
