4. Jumping The Gun a Little

Sarah Palin is jumping the gun a little. Russia has not invaded Urkaine yet. There will be a good amount of egg on her and her supporters' faces if Russia does not invade Urkaine.

Also, why would then Senator Obama make a firm statement about Russia invading Georgia? He was not the President. In addition, why are Republicans not blaming George W. Bush for what is going on between Russia and Urkaine? During President Bush's time in office everything that went wrong was President Bill Clinton's fault. George W. bush was President when Russia invaded Georgia. If he was such a tough and great President with such great foreign policy ideas why did Russia invade Georgia on his watch? Let's be clear, the Russian invasion of Georgia happened after President Bush ordered the American military to invade two countries and after he and his administration had questioned the toughness of any world leader who had not supported the invasions.

So, at this point, the only time Russia has invaded another country within the last 10+ years was when President Bush, a Republican was in office. As far as I know President Bush did not send American troops into Russia or Georgia as a result of Russia's invasion of Georgia.
