Memo to John McCain: I'm not a Georgian - today, yesterday or tomorrow.
http://www.thenation.com/doc/20080818/ames

The outbreak of war in Georgia on Friday offers a
disturbing and somewhat surreal taste of what to expect
from John McCain should he become our nation’s Commander
in Chief. As the centuries-old ethnic animosities
between Georgia and Ossetia boiled over into another
armed conflict, drawing in neighboring Russia, McCain
issued a stark-raving statement from Des Moines that is
disturbingly reminiscent of the language used in the
lead-up to NATO’s war against Yugoslavia in 1999, a war
McCain zealously pushed for:

“We should immediately call a meeting of the North
Atlantic Council to assess Georgia’s security and review
measures NATO can take to contribute to stabilizing this
very dangerous situation,” McCain said.

1. If McSame loves Georgia, then he should just move there.
