It alwayts does that... CONT'D:

in its course. I'm at peace with this and God.

I also beleive that this is going to be a blood thirsty and nasty election,and a repeat of 2000 between Bush and Gore.

Russia has not signed anythig as of lately,they are defying the U.S. Really it is not the united states business. Either way this is bad. Do you all happen to know what movie was on wednesday night? "The Day After" Coincedence,,,,,I wonder?

F B is correct. We should always try diplomacy first but when we get too weak to assist an ally, we will cease to have an ally.
Georgia is a trusted ally.

Russia has let it be known that they aren't happy without their previous empire.
If Georgia falls, will Ukraine be next?
I hope European sissies wake up before it's too late.
Bullies have to be stopped quickly if at all possible.

NATO should give quick acceptance to both and that will give Russia second thoughts.

As far as suspended elections go, 75 percent of the experts predicted that fallacy in 2004. They believed a terrorist plot was being planned by republicans to keep Bush in office.
Cindy Shehane,(America hater) is predicting that this year. Believe it or not, she still has believers.

Oil is brought up quiet often when we talk about Bush.
Do democrats not care about our oil supply?
Would Obama put a stop to all oil importing?
If we don't protect the areas that we receive oil from, does anyone think gas will be affordable for any of us?
Maybe democrats can afford high prices but I doubt it.
They are some of the biggest screamers about the pump prices now.
Bush is damned if he does but would be more damned if he didn't.

Please show me where I'm wrong.

Kati101, I couldnt agree with you more on this. As far as I'm concerned Russia, Georgia, and other countries such as that are not a threat against the United States and we need to stay the hell out of their business. We have enough problems dealing with terrorists and terrorists countries trying to bring us down than to get involved with Russia and Georgia. I do admire Georgia for making a stand, and thats what all countries should do when aggression comes their way. But it is high time that the United States stops being the police department of the world. Lets spend our efforts on winning the war we are already involved in and bring our troops home. Notice I said "Winning" the war. By God if we do go to war lets finish it in a victory to help discourage other terrorist groups or countries from wanting a war with us. But by all means our plate is full. Let Russia and Georgia handle their own disputes. As always Katie, I admire your logical thinking and opinions!

I can't beleive it! Something we actually agree on.But do you know if what were saying about the President being able to remain in office is true or not? I don't know.I've heard that but I'm not sure.

Open question..
If Russia invaded Canada, England, Germany, Italy, Poland, France or any other European country, should we get involved?

Is there any country that we should protect?

Here's the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution that covers the president's term of office:

Here's the bottom line up fron this time: two-terms, 8 years, that's it. Unless the president in question serves two years of his predecessor's term, in that case can serve two terms on his own for a toatl of ten years. That's only been done once.

Section 1. No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once. But this article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this article was proposed by the Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term.

Section 2. This article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several States within seven years from the date of its submission to the States by the Congress.

Well stated fargingbastige .
Georgia is a small country but proportionally had almost as many troops in Iraq as we did. The invasion of their country by Russia caused them to leave to protect their home land from a giant.

Many of the other countries put their tails between their legs and fled at the first threat against their country by terrorists.

We need more dependable allies like Georgia.

I wonder how many of the other 25 NATO members would go to defend another member if they were invaded by Russia.?
My guess would be that they would plead for the U.S.A. to save them.

Maybe we should withdraw from NATO and the United Nations, withdraw all of our troops deployed on foreign lands, guard our borders, and live off the fat of our land. Any takers?

Great post, Katie. I always try to guage a blog by the number a viable posts and replies. You hit something with this one.
