Are there any limits to McCain’s inflammatory derangement?
“We learned a great cost of the price of allowing aggression against free nations to go unchecked. With our allies we must stand in united purpose to persuade Russian government to withdraw its troops from Georgia,” McCain told the crowd. “(President Mikheil Saakashvili) wanted me to say thanks to you, and give you his heartfelt thanks for the support of the American people for this tiny little democracy far away from the United States of America. And I told him that I know I speak for every American when I say to him, ‘Today we are all Georgians.’”
I don’t know much about the US constitution but maybe if someone has him certified before November he won’t be eligible for election. And the Georgian president pro tem seems just as detached from reality.

More like you HAVE to be certifiable before being eligible for election.

McCain Talked With Georgia President On The Same Day McCain Aide Sealed Georgia Lobbying Contract
By Andrew Tilghman - August 13, 2008, 12:11PM
Randy Scheunemann earned about $70,000 serving as Sen. John McCain’s top foreign policy adviser between the January 2007 and May 15, 2008.
During the same period, the government of Georgia paid his firm $290,000 in lobbying fees.
(Talking Points Memo Muckraker)
AND
Remember, McCain’s pitch on Iraq is that he was a critic of Bush, not a supporter, on the poor decisions and lies that got us into the current mess. In the McCain paradigm, he starts fresh with the ’surge’. That’s where he takes ownership, as it were, of Iraq.
But look who’s advising him on Iraq, who’s crafting Iraq policy. That would be Randy Scheunemann, McCain’s top foreign policy advisor. And he’s the guy who today accused Barack Obama of wanting to lead America to defeat in Iraq for political gain.
Scheunemann was a core participant in the lobbying, plotting and organized campaigns of deception that led America to war in Iraq. He was a close collaborator with Ahmad Chalabi through the 1990s. He helped draft the Iraq Liberation Act, which created the new funding stream for Chalabi’s Iraqi National Congress. At the start of the Bush administration he signed on as Don Rumsfeld’s ‘consultant’ on Iraq at the Pentagon. And then when the administration started cranking up the machinery for the propaganda campaign in favor of war he went back on the outside to form and lead the Committee for the Liberation of Iraq, to lead the press and lobbying campaign to make sure the war got started on schedule.
Remember, US intelligence later found evidence that Chalabi, in addition to foisting a bunch of bogus intelligence and lying informers on the US and pocketing a lot of US taxpayer dollars, had provided highly classified US intelligence to Iran. Scheunemann worked closely with Chalabi for years in his efforts to get the US into war with Iraq. He was also a go-between between Chalabi and McCain. Now that he’s taking such a high-profile role on the Iraq issue in the 2008, Scheunemann’s history with Chalabi and the use of bogus intelligence to get the nation into war is unquestionably highly newsworthy.

Nothing like a few oil related central asian war skirmishes to drive votes to McCain in the US. This guy looks like a garden variety Republican bottom feeder. Very scary that they can hop to both sides of the trough depending on the needs of the military industrial complex.

I know I am under attack,the micro sleeps within the last hour seemed like a whole afternoon has passed.I checked out Gwatney stuff in the news and only found so far a shifty lawyer by the name of Beebe,who is or was the Attorney General for the State of Arkansas.With people like being the good public servants,even my ex-bank robber friend, who is now concerned about the end times re the Mayan Calendar appeals as a brain that works.So when we see biker friendand new Atlas man from the U.S.A. pulsing with brain vigour like McCain does,I think the average TV audience in the U.S.A.must be more intelligent than I previously thought.They have figured out a means of using the remote control,when McCain is on.Probably self-induced micro-sleep.So I should count my lucky blessings between entering the Persian Gulf with the military fleet,large as 1991 ,I will get so many micro-sleeps in,I could then impersonate any U.S.A. citizen,and not worry one little bit if the flag waving I do is enough to make me fit,for the rest of my life,before everyone accuses me of being a baby-boomer whilst the world truly ended.So I wont be accepting anything that suggests bad behaviour from Russians,they are simply not as boring,and,whilst that seems a loss of analytical thought,what comes out of the U.S.A. dominates.If I have to concentrate on the American Old fogies or correct spelling phogies I suppose.The Russians seem like kids,of a family I haven’t got to know.I cannot sound in these typed words,concerned enough for the individual lives of Iran.

The level of hypocrisy is such that I can hardly breathe. Condi Rice demanding the Russians cease and desist, Bush and the rest of them echoing her, McInsane going off like the Cold-War hack he is, delerious with joy to have his old enemy back again, and meanwhile the wars go on in Iraq and Afghanistan and the neocons keep plotting to attack Iraq. Maybe the Apocalypse is overdue.

I can understand why the Americans are acting like they have the moral high-ground. For decades they have told themselves they are “exceptional” and have a mandate to be the world’s sheriff.
What shits me is how the toads and clowns in our MSM happily play along. The only reasonable coverage of the Georgian issiue has come from SBS. The idiots at the ABC are beyond help.

Not just the media mars. Our new government has a plentiful supply of toads and clowns also happy to be America’s BFF.

Is it any wonder so many people (here and in the US) are totally disinterested in politics?

“If you ain’t, an I’m sure most of you will have, see the film, ‘Die Blechtrommel’, the Tin Drum.”
So who is playing the drums & screaming fit to break glass in America LM?
America is almost a fascist state…& many can’t even see it:

I wonder how the meeja would have reported the situation in Georgia if it was a predominantly Muslim state?
