Answer 1

I fail to see the parallels between a murdering, brutal dictatorship in Iraq and an elective democracy in Georgia.

The "double standard" rule simply doesn't apply to this comparison.

When the US leaves Iraq - and we will - Iraq will be an independent and free nation.

I doubt we can say the same for Georgia.

Answer 2

That 100 year comment didn't mean being in Iraq fighting and loosing hundreds of troops a year, it was talking about something similar to our current presence in Korea, Germany, and other friendly countries.  Anti-war protesters and liberals tried to turn it around and make it look like he was suggesting we stick to a hundred year bloodbath.

If Russia stays in Georgia I can't guarantee they will be as kind to the Georgians as we are to the [law abiding] Iraqis.

EDIT: Judging by the links you provided I can tell you don't want our answers unless we tell you what you want to hear.  Aparrently, you want to hear us agree with you and assume the US is a facist country that wants to take over the world.  If you are an American do us a favor and leave.

Answer 3

Washington is building a global missile defence shield to try to encircle Russia, and this imperial thinking is supposed to be fine with Russia?? I wonder if the U.S would be fine with Russia establishing a missle plan in Mexico, or Canada!!! Can we say Double Standard, the U.S was so scared of Russia in Cuba that they were willing to stage operation northwoods.

Answer 4

No  I really wish you liberals would stop comparing Iraq to Georgia they are totaly different Iraq was being ruled by a tyrant and the majority of iraqies wanted change but they were being supressed by Sadam....Iraq was a brutal dictatorship that had the capabilites and the will to get chemical and nuclear weapons......however Georgia is a demoractly elected gouverment with the support of most Georgians....stop comparing the two they are total different....

Also we invaded Iraq to librate the people and set up a free and fair gouverment Russia is invading Georgia to annex it....

Answer 5

they did, they annexed it last century and its been part of ussr until recent times

Answer 6

LOL

The two wars are completely different, with different causes and different goals. Comparing the two is juvenile.

Answer 7

McCain never said he would leave troops in Iraq 100 years..  Liberals took it out of context (Big suprise there).  Get your lies straight!

Answer 8

Kool Aid Drinker!

Answer 9

No - the Iraqi's want us there until we firmly and finally maintain the peace and preclude Iran from taking it over.  The Georgians do NOT want Russia there!

Peace
