Saakashvili Tells McLame To Put Up Or Shut Up

[Me.]

Basically saying rhetoric is one thing action is another. Looks like McSame's team may have outsmarted itself.

“(CNN) – Georgian president Mikheil Saakashvili on Wednesday called for John McCain and other American leaders to do more for Georgia in their response to the conflict in his country.

“Yesterday, I heard Sen. McCain say, ‘We are all Georgians now,’” Saakashvili said on CNN’s American Morning. “Well, very nice, you know, very cheering for us to hear that, but OK, it’s time to pass from this. From words to deeds.”

McCain told a crowd in Pennsylvania yesterday that he had called Saakashvili to express solidarity with the people of Georgia, saying: “Today, we are all Georgians.”

McCain’s foreign policy adviser Randy Scheunemann told reporters on the campaign plane Tuesday that McCain’s remark “obviously meant a lot to Saakashvili personally, but more importantly the message it conveyed to the Georgian people in this really, time of unprecedented national emergency.” Scheunemann said McCain and Saakashvili are friends who have speaking daily throughout the crisis.”

1. More

But Saakashvili said action is more important than rhetoric in the face of “brutal” and “deliberate” Russian violence. He urged the United States to take the lead in installing an international peacekeeping force.

“We should realize what is at stake here for Americans,” he said. “America is losing the whole region.”

“What Americans should do know, first of all, clearly make known their intentions,” he said.”

7. How presumptuous of McCain.

He's not even president and he's issuing statements on Foreign Policy.

8. Ouch! Just when McCain was trying to create a new image, good ol' Misha popped his balloon

9. what kind of play is this getting in the M$M. how are they going to make

this look bad for Obama?

the fact that Mr. S is ignoring Mr. O? something like that? doesn't take him seriously, whereas McCain is even more of a factor than the sitting president?

or will they just ignore this huge loss of face, which underscores the belligerent fecklessness of McCain and his handlers

EAT those words, Gramps

10. McCain has stepped into a trap concocted by Cheney, Rove and himself

Good! :applause:

11. Wouldn't It Be Great If This Was A Sting?

Cause they really can't stand him either?

[Gabi Hayes]

12. they can't, BUT they know their asses is grasses if he doesn't get in,

so they're pulling out all the stops to steal this one, too.

It's a Rove campaign through and through now. they don't want to take any chances.

Steve Schmidt is an uglier, fatter, balder, meaner version of Rove; dumber, too, from the looks of it so far. it's all going to be up to how much more water the M$M feels like carrying
