WASHINGTON - Vice President Dick Cheney says Russia's military actions in Georgia "must not go unanswered."

Cheney spoke Sunday afternoon with Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili. "The vice president expressed the United States' solidarity with the Georgian people and their democratically elected government in the face of this threat to Georgia's sovereignty and territorial integrity," Cheney's press secretary, Lee Ann McBride, said.

1. LOL. The Big Swinging Dick speaks. nt

[maddezmom]

2. he's always around waiting for a chance to get a real good war going

:eyes: I wish he'd stay in his hidey hole and keep his mouth shut.

[DogPoundPup]

5. Evil Dickcrawls from his deep, dark hole

[maddezmom]

6. and the chimp is now on TV at the Olympics

grinning and shaking his head. :puke:

[DogPoundPup]

10. This lil bush regime of insanity is trying to blow all our minds

to top off the miserable disasters they've wrought is all I can figure.

[Dover]

46. Hypocrite and murderer of Iraqi and Afghan civilians...ETC...n/t

[LostInAnomie]

3. Yep, time to bomb Iran.

That's how it works, isn't it?

[Andy823]

4. Like Cheny has any right

To attack another country for "invading" a smaller country! Russia will listen to Cheney like he listened to all those who were against the U.S. going to war with Iraq!

[Purveyor]

7. You all know where this is leading don't you? "We must elect John McCain in order to deal with the

Russians"...

Yes, I spotted this theme early this morning on the talkinghead shows and we are going to hear this 'non-stop' right up to the election.

The US and its bastard allies are going to poke and provoke Russia to make sure they appear to be a threat.

The game has been set. No need for an 'october surprise' now. The neocon's now have the big "Soviet Bear" back on the radar as its latest boogeyman.

[Purveyor]

14. Oh and by the way. Obama needs to cancel his vacation and at least act like he is involved with

this situation.

Otherwise the McCain camp is going to dominate the press over this.

Just saying!

[FVZA_Colonel]

50. I'm not sure it'll go that far, or that he really needs to leave Hawaii,

but he certainly can't let any challenge go unopposed, or not make his views heard.

[Muttocracy]

27. figured it would be more directly with Iran, but this will do... don't change horses etc...

[Solly Mack]

8. Anthrax!...that should get him running back to his hidey-hole

[bronxiteforever]

9. Putin must be laughing his ass off-the saying goes "you and what army"

American adventure-ism in the mid-east has yet another consequence

[JNelson6563]

35. Well put

Also I think it is obvious that Little Boots is scared witless of Pootey-Poot. Nickname notwithstanding. I get a kick out watching when they are together in person.

[dipsydoodle]

54. Thought the expression was

"you and whose army" Just another one of USA / UK differences I guess. :hi:

[daleo]

11. That's just great

Now we know that the Cheney faction has prevailed. I guess that explains why Bush was left in China to pat volleyball players on the bum.

It looks like Cheney and his neo-con conspirators may just get their pre-election war.

[New Dawn]

12. Cheney wants US global empire

That is why his government supported CIA organized/funded coups (the so-called "color revolutions"), to overthrow the governments of Ukraine and Georgia, so that puppet regimes could be installed there. When you hear about the South Ossetians killed in this criminal attack by Georgia, remember that their blood is on the Neocon's hands as well. Most Georgians also hate their dictator, Saakashvili. The only reason he is in power still is because of his feared security services.

[cliffordu]

13. Anybody else think this is WWIII?

[Muttocracy]

28. 1 and 2 started with small skirmishes, though this one is so linked

to other conflicts in the region over oil, perhaps it started in 2001 or 2002. Guess we'll know in a few months.

[Faygo Kid]

15. OK, if Cheney sides with Georgia, I side with Russia. This is the prep to attack Iran.

1. Georgia attacks breakaway areas. We're not familiar with the details, but Georgia is a well-bribed tool of the U.S.

2. Russia responds.

3. Cheney jumps in. Condemns Russia.

4. Russia busy. Cheney attacks Iran.

[dbonds]

20. Well Georgia didn't have any good targets left, so he must attack Iran.

[Dead_Parrot]

21. What, trouble in one country leads to invasion of another?

No way, that could nev-

Oh.

Damn.

[CrazyDude]

62. Just because we oppose Cheney doesn't mean we must support Russia

That will be a guaranteed way to lose elections, especially with polling so close to the margins as it is.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

16. Ron Fournier.

:think:

[jimshoes]

17. If shootsguyinface is speaking, there must

be oil, or a pipeline involved somewhere.

[dbonds]

18. Give Cheney a pistol and drop him off in Georgia then.

[daleo]

26. Well, a shotgun and a lawyer

We'll see who gets out.

[Kali]

19. orly?

step right to the front of the line, asshole!

[TheCowsCameHome]

22. Suit up, baldy. Now's your chance to shoot someone else.

[nc4bo]

23. I'd like to ask dickface a question.

What does the phrase "must not go unanswered" mean? Please feel free to elaborate dickface, break it down for us.

Source: AP

WASHINGTON - Vice President Dick Cheney says Russia's military actions in Georgia "must not go unanswered."

we don't need this.

[Muttocracy]

30. Russia's answer - "So?"

[nc4bo]

32. heh, yea really. nt

[savistocate]

44. Putin only follows U.S./Repug gov model...

Exactly.
This conflict smells of Defense Intel Agency..they/Cheney convincing Georgia
to take the southern portion.. militarily occupy.

[Aristus]

68. "So?"

Yep, there's your answer, Dick.


(God, I wish we still had the flip-the-finger smilie...)

[Mojorabbit]

34. *

was just on tv and said nothing about "answering" Russia. Who is running this country anyway?

[Muttocracy]

37. Cheney as usual and they're not even hiding it anymore? nt

[liberalhistorian]

24. Let me guess. He's gonna somehow tie

it all to Iran instead of Russia so he can finally get his Iran war freak on. Nothing from them would surprise me anymore.

[AllentownJake]

25. Ahh the Russian Threat has returned

Just in time for a Presidential Election. Guess Terrorist weren't cutting it this time.

How much did the war criminals offer Putin to orchestrate this little fiasco. Saber rattling does good for both Putin and the GOP.

[Sanity Claws]

29. Cheney forgot to use his puppet

His puppet should be back in D.C. if this is so serious.

[maddezmom]

33. the puppet spoke but only after Dick etal released his statement

I watched the interview,not that * is ever well versed but he was odder than usual IMO.
Bush says violence in Georgia is unacceptable


Associated Press - August 10, 2008 9:33 PM ET

BEIJING (AP) - President Bush has sharply criticized Moscow's harsh military crackdown in the former Soviet republic of Georgia, saying the violence is unacceptable and Russia's response is disproportionate.

The United States is waging an all-out campaign to press Russia to halt its retaliation against Georgia for trying to take control of the breakaway province of South Ossetia.

Bush, in an interview with NBC, said, "I've expressed my grave concern about the disproportionate response of Russia and that we strongly condemn the bombing outside of South Ossetia."

31. if the russkies take georgia today.... tomorrow they'll be attacking florida, my name is DICK

[kirby]

36. Are we going to force them to buy more of our debt?

They only own 60 billion dollars. China is at 500 billion and Japan at 600 billion dollars.

Looks like they need to own more as punishment.

[whistle]

38. Fuck you Dick Cheney, go answer the American people for all your lies

[fascisthunter]

63. ooops... wrong place

[Baby Snooks]

39. The confrontation everyone has always feared...

http://www.johnstonsarchive.net/nuclear/nuclearwar1.html

The Cuban missile crisis was not really a confrontation. What is developing in Georgia is a confrontation. The confrontation everyone has always feared. And of course it is really over oil. Which a growing number of people feared would create the scenario for such a confrontation with Russia. Most expected it to occur with a confrontation with an ally of Russia, in particular a confrontation with Iran, and few thought about the possibility of a direct confrontation with Russia. Until Cheney began his warmongering rhetoric.

Hope that reason prevails rather than the rhetoric of a madman.

[JustAnotherGen]

40. I side with neither one

This isn't our dog fight. I don't want to see one single American over in Eastern Europe over some manufactured bullshit. And this is why those assholes both needed to be impeached.

[jwirr]

41. Of course he comes out swinging - he probably owns big shares

in that pipeline over there.

[JustAnotherGen]

43. I thought

The exact same thing. ;-)

[doublethink]

59. "Probably? " Ha ...... google "Cheney BTC Pipeline" .....

here I did it for you .... http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Cheney+BTC+Pipeline&btnG=Google+Search

Check it out, seriously, goes way deeper than just owning shares, but yeah that too. Peace.

[mamameow]

42. oil and more oil!!!!

dick thinks,"oh goody let's invade russia and get their oil".

[Dover]

45. Good thing no one said that to us when we invaded Iraq! Phew!..n/t

[alfredo]

47. Ole Flaccid Dick drools at another opportunity for war.

[cal04]

48. Russia, Georgia wage PR battle for hearts and minds

http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2008/8/11/worldupdates/2008-08-10T224414Z_01_NOOTR_RTRMDNC_0_-349335-1&sec=Worldupdates

Armed not just with guns but public relations agencies, Russia and Georgia are fighting a propaganda war to shape public opinion at home and abroad with a constant stream of disputed facts about their conflict.

(snip)
Mindful of Georgia's importance to the West as an energy transit corridor from the oil-rich Caspian, a Georgian minister accused Moscow of attempting to bomb a key oil pipeline running across its territory.

Russia denied attacking any non-military target and independent experts pointed out that the pipeline was in any case already out of commission because of an explosion in eastern Turkey which knocked it out last Tuesday.

[many a good man]

49. McCain needs a VP who is a Russia expert

Preferable one with NSC and State Department on her resume.

[RainDog]

51. oh shut the fuck up. you've never seen a killing field you didn't like, dick.

maybe you should dress up as a Russian and attack Georgia, dick.

[AlphaCentauri]

52. I saw this video

the only thing that make sense to me is the last sentence in the report.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DjeRhxV2qgo

[formercia]

53. Did Cheney provoke the Georgians to attack South Ossetia?

Just like he provoked the Israelis into attacking Hesbullah in Lebanon to create a broader conflict?

Hey dick! The Georgians were the aggressors, but then, that's your mindset anyway, asshOle.

[TheLastMohican]

55. Russia stopped treating Dick seriously

after that famous speeach in Vilnuis when he accused Russia of dictatorship and then went to Uzbekistan to kiss with the local overlord.

Georgia is gonna get some major arse-whooping. The reports I hear their mobile arty and tanks are running out of gas. How foolish was it for Saakashvili to even think that NATO, EU and US will back up his genocidal actions?

[bamacrat]

56. Ah what continuity, we invade a sovereign nation for no reason, yet others may not.

Fuck you Mr. Cheney.

[Kablooie]

57. Cheney's pants must be raining golden drops over the excitement of war with Russia.

[MadrasT]

58. This situation

in Georgia has scared the f'ing crap out of me from the first news I heard of it last week.

I have a bad, bad feeling about the whole thing. There is undoubtedly much more going on behind the scenes. Think about the crap we were fed about Iraq in the beginning, and what we know now about what really happened (and I have no doubt we have only scratched the surface of learning the truth about Iraq).

What nefarious nonsense has led up to this Georgia/Russia conflict that we will only learn about in the future?
