McCain: Georgia conflict is the ‘first serious crisis internationally since the end of the Cold War.’
Think Progress —
Speaking at the Aspen Institute in Colorado yesterday, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) said that recent Russian aggression in Georgia is the “first…serious crisis internationally since the end of the Cold War.” McCain seemingly ignored the Gulf War, 9/11, and the Iraq War, to name a few:
My friends, we have reached a crisis, the first probably serious crisis internationally since the end of the Cold War. This is an act of aggression.
Watch it:
In July, McCain said Iraq was the “first major conflict ...

Once in a while, the depth of John McCain’s foreign policy confusion stops being funny, and starts getting scary.
For those of you who can’t watch clips online, McCain told an audience at the Aspen Institute yesterday, “My friends, we have reached a crisis, the first probably serious crisis internationally since the end of the Cold War. This is an act of aggression.”
About a month ago, McCain said the war in Iraq is the “first major conflict since 9/11,” which seemed pretty odd given the war in Afghanistan.
But this is ...
John McCain Has More Odd Things to Say About Russia/Georgia

--Previous Post | Blog Index | Next Post-- John McCain Has More Odd Things to Say About Russia/Georgia This Russia-Georgia conflict is really producing some weird comments from John McCain. You probably saw his statement that "In the 21st century, nations don't invade other nations." Now he's saying this : My friends, we have reached a crisis, the first probably serious crisis internationally since the end of the Cold War. This is an act of aggression. I just don't know what is going on in John McCain's brain. The Iraq War is undoubtedly a crisis. It was a crisis for the military, which was underprepared for the ...
McCain: 9/11 Not A Serious Problem and Neither was Iraq
Open Left - Front Page —
John McCain says the conflict between Russia and Georgia is the first serious international crisis since the Cold War. That means Iraq and Saddam Hussein didn't represent a real crisis which we know but which John McCain has never admitted. But it also means that 9/11 wasn't a serious crisis and who believes that? He really said it too but apparently you can say outrageous things and get away with it if you're, uh, really old: ...

John McCain: The First Serious Crisis
Daily Kos —
Via Think Progress, it seems like John McCain forgot about a crisis or two or three. Given that McCain has been using the situation in Georgia to pretend he's the president (speaking of presumptuous), it's not surprising that he wants to present this as the biggest crisis ever. And he's right, assuming you forget the Gulf War, and Somalia, and the Rwandan Genocide, and the earlier war in Georgia, and the breakup of Yugoslavia and all the wars that spawned, and 9/11, and Afghanistan, and Iraq and North Korean nuclear testing, and the war in Lebanon, and Darfur -- then ...

The world according to McCain: Georgia is "the first, probably, serious crisis internationally since the end of the cold war"
AMERICAblog News| A great nation deserves the truth —
HUH??? For someone who claims that foreign policy is his strong suit, John McCain gets some very basic facts very wrong. Last month, John McCain decided to ignore the war in Afghanistan when he claimed that Iraq "the first major conflict since 9/11." This month, John McCain decided to ignore Afghanistan, Iraq, 9/11 and a host of other major crises. See foreign policy expert John McCain, who spent the last week pretending he's the president and single-handedly in charge of the situation in Georgia, thinks that situation in Georgia is the first serious international crisis since the Cold War ended. Wow. He's more out of touch than we ...

Forget about Afghanistan, Osama bin Laden and REAL Al-Qaeda. That isn’t a major conflict. Let’s not dwell too much on figuring ...
