“I agree with Putin.” – Denver Dem (and Barack Obama).

Putin’s claim is un-possible. At best, Putin had the Russian Army on alert and ready to go on any pretense, any excuse–it’s almost certain that the eventual pretense and excuse wasn’t an American instigation, and even if it was, it would have been an instigation intentionally in concert with the Russian agenda in Georgia.

Therefore, at best, Putin is lying and engineered the incident, at worst, Putin is lying, engineered the incident, and convinced Bush to help him.

Those tanks were ready and waiting. Bush doesn’t have it in him to send the Russian Army marching orders, whether for McCain or anyone else. If he did, Iran’s ass would be hanging in the breeze.
