Bush, Rice, Gates: Looking Mighty Stupid
The Russians have played President Bush, Condoleeza Rice and Robert Gates like three base drums over the past week or so in the Georgian ordeal. All three have been made to look like they are stupid and a bunch of fools in the deal. The thing is they just all might be stupid and foolish! It’s taken us a long time to learn from idiots like these in our administration.
I wonder if they realize the Russians have done just what they wanted in this deal. They have not listened to what America has put out at all. They have signed two agreements and still are not out of Georgia, much less the breakaway regions of Georgia that this is supposed to be all about. Russian President Medvedev and Prime Minister Putin have done just what they wanted. They have not even acknowledged us at all.
I realize we can’t go to war over two provinces in the country of Georgia. But there are plenty of other things we could have done. The first thing you do is to not really say anything. Just go about doing what you need to do. We should have just expelled all the Russian diplomats in the country. We should have given them about an hour to leave. Then take steps to throw Russia out of the WTO and G8 organizations and any others they might be in. Move to take the Olympics away from them.
In the end the Russians are not going to listen. They can do whatever they want to do. We just need to make sure we counter their moves. The Russians even threatened the Poles who are going to allow our missiles in their country. And we have not done much to make them pay.
This may be a good lesson to all in this country when someone like Barack Hussein Obama wants to try diplomacy! Diplomacy would only work with reasonable people. And we would not be in a jam with reasonable folks. So as we talk about it all Russia just does what it pleases.
Yes, we do look might stupid in the whole deal. Our leaders are just a bunch of idiots. Those are harsh and nasty words, but they do fit the bunch I am talking about. We need to quit talking and take some action. Don’t look like a bunch of stool pigeons! Bush, Rice and Gates seem to play that part well.
