I thought Cheney was bad but McCain will have another war going in record time! And with a nuclear armed nation! But at his age, why worry about it!

"Bush once said he that upon looking into Putin's eyes he saw "his soul" while McCain said he saw "three letters: K-- G-- B."

Yeah he saw 3 letters alright, his reflection in Putin's eyes spelling W-- A-- R.....Bush III do you really want him America?

It's the world he's familiar with - the old Cold War days. Sadly for him and maybe us, the world has changed since his time. Russia has plenty of money and oil and access to nearby oil-rich countries it can bully with no conscience, and we have - a little Ted Baxterish guy strutting around like it's 1954.

Senator McCain appears to have really, really strong feelings regarding PM Putin, and I suspect they would antagonize each other into a full scale War.

Yes, Im sure if he has his way the war will go 100 years, while his great-grandchildren attend Yale Pathetic and sickening.

Well, this appears to be a significant difference between Bush and McCain.

So...supporting democratically elected allies against a undemocratic Russia reverting to the ways and means of it's not so distant past is.....a bad thing?

Help me understand this mentality?

Why should advocating NATO membership for former russian satelite countries be a provocation for war?

What's your point? The Senator's posturing in Russia's backyard would draw the US into a mess he's ill prepared to handle at a time when diplomacy is the key. What's more valuable, Georgia or Russia?

Honestly, I've been one of the biggest Obama bashers on this board. However, after listening to McCain and his hostile attitude towards Russia...I will have to think twice before Election Day. I was just reading that McCain would support a Georgian bid to join NATO...bad idea. McCain is coming off like a deranged hawk who wants to pick a fight with the world's other nuclear power. If that's his intentions, he can forget my vote.
