Georgia vs Iraq

Do we have a leg to stand on with Iraq and Guantanamo Bay and the way we handled ourselves there? I say no. We should do everything we can for the Georgian people and support their regime, but bad mouth Russia for doing what we did, no way. The only reason we got away with it was we were the bully on the block and Sadaam had no real friends. Did we say one thing and do another all in the interests of finding WMD’s and at the time, unconfirmed terrorists, or so we said. It had nothing to do with the fact that the newly appointed (not elected) president was a born again Christian who hated Muslims with a passion and was an oil man to boot (they all are). Just because Georgia is a US supported regime in the first place is a sore eye to the Russians who consider all of the Soviet Union as Russia and always will. What better time to use your troops and superior hardware before it rusts away for lack of use. Putkin may be the head of Russia, but he is still just a mobster in disguise that we helped put in place, like lots of our other mistakes, such as Sadaam Hussein himself. Bush, Jr is hardly any better when it comes to reputations, let alone, being dumb as a board. With our great intelligence gathering network we have such good backing winners like invisible WMD’s, Sadaam, Shah of Iran, the general from Nicaragua, and many African and South American dictators that we had to drive out after we put them in place. Our only defense has been so far that they were better than the alternative. We are dumb enough to first support the Taliban when Russia invaded and then fight the Taliban in Afghanistan. These people are used to living in the mountains in caves because it is all they have ever known. Hide, fight and run are all they know and we want to blow them up. We are still trying to catch them. Fat chance of that! The Taliban just hide in Pakistan on one side and the mountains in the west. They don’t need or want roads; they have trails that lead from the mountains to the cities. The Taliban is on the offensive everywhere in Afghanistan and we are on the defensive. Will we ever learn? NO, I’m sorry to say.
