Fox News: McCain says Georgia pipeline "very, very important" for US energy independence.

[Occam Bandage]

During the August 12 edition of Fox News' Your World, Fox News chief political correspondent Carl Cameron said of Sen. John McCain's speech earlier that day in York, Pennsylvania: "Senator McCain opened his remarks talking about his conversation with the Georgian president, talking about the crisis there, saying that he believes that there is a true strategic imperative for the world to take notice and make sure that Georgia is protected because of its oil pipeline, one that does provide energy access across the Caspian Sea, the Black Sea -- a very, very important position for energy independence for the United States to make sure that those sorts of things are protected." Cameron did not explain how the protection of an oil pipeline in Georgia was related to U.S. energy independence.

...these...these guys do understand that "independence" does not mean "dependent on political stability in the former USSR," right?

4. Yup!

Lotsa big talk coming from the Republicans and a lot of hand wringing by them on how Obama might deal with the Russians but not a lot in the way of action to help Georgia.
