John McCain actually had the nerve to say that we’re all supposed to respect the sovereignty and independence of nations. Except of course if they’re in the middle east or vital to our national security. (That will always be the out for war hawks.) I think he forgot that part. I know, you’re all waiting for McCain’s Media to bring up Iraq, right? I mean McCain ...

Scott G. at Pros and Cons takes issue with my characterization of McCain’s statement (noted yesterday) that “In the 21st century, nations don’t invade other nations.” Says Scott: As loathe as I am to argue politics with a political science professor, I think perhaps Steven didn’t take the statement in the spririt in which it was (to me, obviously) intended. I think any ...

" In the 21st century, nations don’t invade other nations ." They do, Senator, when they deem it in their national interest . Better (if not problem-free) is McCain's op/ed today on the subject. "Two years ago, I traveled to South Ossetia," McCain writes; the unspoken but obvious dangling question being "when were you last in South Ossetia, Mr. Obama?" I immediately think of this:  ...

"In the 21st century, nations don’t invade other nations," - Senator John McCain , without apparent irony.

Would that he were right. You can see the video (via Think Progress ) below.

By Creature "In the 21st century, nations don’t invade other nations" -- Presidential hopeful John McCain proving once and for all that he really has no clue. (Cross-posted at State of the Day .)

Did John McCain even think a little bit when he said this ? In the 21st century, nations don’t invade other nations. Yes they do. Of course they do. The inanity of McCain's statement speaks for itself, but you know, I really wish we could just put this sort of argument out to pasture: in the 21st century, X can no longer be true , or, can you believe this is happening in the 21st century? ...

According to John McCain : In the 21st century, nations don’t invade other nations. Seriously. He said that without even a hint of irony. The mind truly boggles. And in related news, Ike Turner says you should be kind to your wife. Video below the fold.

The Dementia Express just keeps on happening. As noted by maru's earlier post, Senile McBush said earlier in the week that, ""In the 21st century, nations don’t invade other nations." He confused himself again during a speech at the Aspen Institute in Colorado on Thursday: My friends, we have reached a crisis, the first probably serious crisis internationally since the end of the Cold ...

Perhaps the most ironic statement yet in the war of words over Russia’s military intervention in Georgia was John McCain’s assertion that “I’m interested in good relations between the United States and Russia, but in the 21st century, nations don’t invade other nations.” Too bad no one told the Bush administration that before it went [...]

Matthew Yglesias : Watch in amazement as John McCain condemns Russia for having the temerity to cross an international boundary — “in the 21st century, nations don’t invade other nations.” We all recall, of course, John McCain’s outrage when the United States violated this rule back in 2003. So James Taranto’s prediction has quickly come ...

McCain says, "In the twenty-first century, nations don't invade other nations :" And imagine him all sweetness and light now about wanting good relations with Moscow after his rants all the past week. An experienced diplomat pointed out to me that "McCain’s behavior on Georgia is a perfect example of putting personal political advantage over the national interest. Bush is trying to cope ...

I don't want any. Echoing Prezelnut Drinky McPukey's Orwellian and hypocriticak staement from a few days earlier, FORMER PRISONER OF WAR and America's American American American straight talking maverick j. SYDNEY George Washington McSame lectures Russia : "In the 21st century, nations don’t invade other nations." ROFLMAO!!! What a comedian. He kind of sounds like that annoying drunk that the ...

With a straight face he says that nations don’t invade other nations in the 21st century. As his good pal George W. Bush would say… you forgot Iraq. Yet another element of the Grandpa Simpson doctrine is revealed.

Nations don't invade other nations. That's what John McCain said about the Russian invasion of Georgia. Now, he could have meant the statement as a positive one, meaning that nations don't indeed invade other nations now that the time stamp starts the century with a "2". If so, he was wrong, and a simple counterexample is the U.S. invasion of Iraq. Or he could have meant it as a normative ...

You’ve seen the quotation, now watch the clip of Sen. John McCain, either in deep denial or completely irony-impaired (those being the more generous of many possible interpretations), giving his pronouncement that “… in the 21st century, nations don’t invade other nations.” Oh.  READ THE WHOLE ITEM Related Entries August 13, 2008 A Cut-and-Paste ...

McCain today, speaking about Russia and Georgia. I don't even have to say it. Easiest blog post ever....

by hilzoy John McCain: "In the 21st century, nations don't invade other nations." I'm sure the Iraqis will be so relieved to learn that it has all been a bad, bad dream.
