SocraticGadfly: Georgia too much on Obama-Biden mind

Georgia too much on Obama-Biden mind

Is Obama-Biden willing to risk “oil war” over Georgia in NATO?

Tom Friedman’s snarky riff on our $1 bil aid package for Georgia, and not Georgia, means that this issue isn’t going away.

To riff on B.O. himself, since it’s my space to riff:
I’m not against all decisions of the Bipartisan Foreign Policy Establishment™, just stupid ones.

And, admitting Georgia to NATO would be stupid.

Hugely stupid.

Because it would be offensive, an in-your-face move to Russia.

As offensive to Russia as Bush opting out of the ABM to start our supposed space-based missile defense program, from where I sit.

And, if Sen. Veep nominee MBNA Joe Biden, with his Foreign Relations Committee chairmanship experience certificate from the Council of Foreign Relations on his office wall, doesn’t get that, he’s pretty clueless after all.

If he’s deliberately ignoring that for the sake of political talking points, and B.O. is voluntarily in agreement, well, then, they’re as willing to play politics for a Georgia oil connection as Bush was with Iraq — and to politicize it as part of their campaign.

As I blogged earlier this week, does Obama-Biden still agree with Uncle Fester on Georgia?

Is Obama-Biden going to continue to be Cold Warrior on Georgia?

Is Obama-Biden willing to go to war over Georgia, a war that, given the pipeline issue, would essentially be a “war for oil” that Obama condemned in talking about Iraq?

I WILL keep hammering away at this, you Democrats who are “liberal” in name only and wonder what I’m doing on liberal blog rolls.
