LOL! Did she mean "moral EQUIVICATION"???

No, I doubt you've got that much going on, that you'd recognize someone who grasps things.

If Bolton gets credit for saying Russia may invade the Ukraine, so be it. He has yet to explain why anyone in America ought to care except the Ukranian ambassador.

From Obama's reaction to the invasion it seems to make a difference to him.

She predicted the present scenario back in 2008. The striped-pants crowd, as Rush Limbaugh calls them, reacted with derision. Foreign Policy editor Blake Hounshel, now with Politco.com,l said
The premise of your comment is that she was mocked, so where is the mocking ???

Like I said, predicting behavior by Putin is one thing- deciding on a countermove is another.

I'm sure this scenario has been gamed out by DoD. The difference now is response- well get one from Obama/Kerry/Hagel that will be different from what we would have gotten from McCain/Bolton/ ( whoever his SecDef would be)

You are wrong to stick to the fiction that Americans picked Obama and his team because we are uninformed- quite the reverse.

We knew EXACTLY what we'd be getting in McCain/Palin or Romney/Ryan... And we said " no thanks"

Until the GOP figures out why, they are gonna keep losing national elections.

What reaction, frowning upon it? He won't do much more, and that's what I like most about him.

Ron Paul predicted it back when we went into Iraq.

The Ukraine has oil. Oil Russia wants and says is theirs.
