As long as that's ALL we're doing there.

And are you familiar with false flag attacks?

Remember the USS Liberty?

Inserting any "neutral" military units - for whatever reason - into war zone is not a good idea, especially if one of the nations involved is an historic rival with large quantities nuclear weapons.

Anything can happen - accidents, provocations, confused orders, misread coordinates, wrong approach paths.....All it takes is one guy firing the wrong weapon at the wrong time.

The bottom line is - are you willing to risk worldwide all out thermonuclear war to get this humanitarian assitance to Georgia?

doubt anyone is hoping for a provocative act to occur in order to justify our entering the fray against the Russians. Gates and the joint chiefs know that we don't have the ability to pick a fight, ESPECIALLY against Russia. I think it would be safest to stay out, but then again, we have a guilty conscience for encouraging Georgia to start shit.

A Georgian or even a Russian madman could seek a wider war involving the US/NATO.

Might be a well orchestrated plan or a lone nut.

Then there's accidents. Sh*t happens, especially in war zones.

Will all parties act calmy if one of assets is accidentally shot down/blown up? A missile could malfunction and hit an unintended target miles away. Then what?

Someone lock him in a padded cell before he destroys the world.

With the reckless actions of BOTH Georgia and Russia, putting our troops in there for ANY reason is stupid.

Why not just pour some gasoline on the fire.

The guy is nuts.

I was afraid that the NeoCons would have second thoughts on this...

:scared:

I'll bet the neocons are shaking like a dog who's shitting peach pits.

They are up against a counterpuncher, now.

In a soldier's stance, I aimed my hand
At the mongrel dogs who teach
Fearing not that I'd become my enemy
In the instant that I preach
My pathway led by confusion boats
Mutiny from stern to bow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.

And they have been there since 15July on a "two week exercise".

military, our troops need to come home.

McSame was pushing for military confrontation before Bush was. Hell, last week he was pushing for an urban "surge" in the U.S. to fight crime.

Voters need to be made aware that if they elect the president whose answer to everything is to send in the troops, then the only outcome will be a military draft.

He's putting forth the thought that perhaps the incident was cooked up with the help of McCain's right hand man, the lobbyist for Georgia. Kind of an October surprise in August. It some ways it makes sense since this catastrophe happened while Obama was on vacation and shortly after Karl Rove returned from the area "on vacation." Time to polish up the old tin chapeau.

:shrug:

I thought for sure it was going to be Iran.

"Humanitarian aid", my ass. He's getting his foot in the door, and it's gonna wind up BAD.

for special ops

So 'humanitarian aid' is a good wording.

its been noted that the russians had been taking all the equipment outa military bases they occupied and shipping them back to russia.
most of their weapons are russian made anyway.
