Isn't this rich? US tells Russia to halt attacks.

US tells Russia to halt attacks in South Ossetia:
The Associated Press: US tells Russia to halt attacks in South Ossetia

Where does the US get off telling Russia to stop attacking one of it's close neighbors, when we use lies and deception to go on the other side of the world to attack another country??

Quote:

Rice said in a statement. "We call on Russia to cease attacks on Georgia by aircraft and missiles, respect Georgia's territorial integrity and withdraw its ground combat forces from Georgian soil."

Rice also said Russia should respect Georgian sovereignty and agree to international mediation to end the crisis that threatens to engulf the volatile region
Guess Iraq's territorial integrity and sovereignty didn't count. If I was Putin, I know what I'd tell Bush and his freaky toothed little SEC of State bitch.

I'm not saying Russia is in the right, just that the US has a lot of nerve dispensing orders like this to others after the last few years.

I think Putin is such a cold hard bastard he may not even bother.

Re: Isn't this rich? US tells Russia to halt attacks.

Yes, it's hypocritical although not a big deal apart from that. After all, Georgia is a US ally, so no one should be surprised the US would mouth off. Now the Georgians will piss off the US by trying to get their 2000 troops out of Iraq quickly so they can go home to fight. Sounds like things have already got very nasty over there and could get much worse. Interesting that Russia is fighting against a potential NATO member.

This State "bitch" has tried her best to steer American away from a confrontation with Iran. If Cheney had his way we would be bombing Iran by now.

Both observations are as scary as...who can blame the Russians for being so aggressive when that is the sort of brainpower running the US.

It's like a chess game where the pawns actually die. It's been goin on so long you'd have to call it a human trait.

Note: If a guy just loaned you 20 billion dollars wouldn't you be pleased, in a morbid sort of way, if news came he'd just died? .. perfect time to nuke China.

I think the credit for that goes to some higher-ups in the military who still have the balls to not be yes-men.

There are indeed several rank and file military brass who have came out strongly against a confrontation with Iran. If it was not for Condi advocating for further negotiations with Iran than they would had been replaced by now. While I like to poke fun at different politicians name (ie Obambi) I do try my best to stay away from using vulgar language to name them. I cannot condone how people like preez describe Barack or his wife nor can I condone how you described Condi. Please be a little bit more considerate towards others. Thanks

And a person who you constantly fantasize about. Don't lie esoteric. Condi is the women of your dreams. You are upset because you know that she would not give you the time of day.
