cyberdude611 -> McCain wants to kick Russia out of G-8 (5/1/2008 8:37:10 PM)
It's just more proof that there are way too many old-school cold warriors in the government. http://news.yahoo.com/s/mcclatchy/20080501/wl_mcclatchy/2927033 And for you Obama supporters out there....your guy aint much better by suggesting we "invade Pakistan." I really dont think any of these candidates have a damn clue when it comes to foreign policy.

Democratic presidential candidate Barak Obama issued a pointed warning yesterday to Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf, saying that as president he would be prepared to order U.S. troops into that country unilaterally if it failed to act on its own against Islamic extremists. "When I am president, we will wage the war that has to be won," he told an audience at the Woodrow Wilson Center in the District. He added, "The first step must be to get off the wrong battlefield in Iraq and take the fight to the terrorists in Afghanistan and Pakistan."

"The first step must be to get off the wrong battlefield in Iraq and take the fight to the terrorists in Afghanistan and Pakistan." An invasion doesnt have to be thousands of troops. Most people would consider ANY attack as an act of war, and an invasion, be it of land or air space. If Blair and Bush had taken the fight soley to Afganistan, and stayed out of Iraq. They would have had more public support than they do now.

When he said " Take the fight to the terrorist " That should be clear enough for anyone to understand. What do you think it means, if something different ?

Hippie, trust me, we have all kinds of "spooks" and "others" in Pakistan now. All we have to do is put two Troops in there and it's an "invaision." You don't need a whole brigade.

OK OK you win, I'll vote for Hillary then ! The article proves one thing, there is actually someone on the planet dumber than Bush. T

What do you think it means, if something different ? Why do you believe "take the fight to the terrorists" means "invade Pakistan"? It's politician-ese for: If you dont do as we say, we will unilaterally send in our troops to get the job done whether you approve or not. It's the same "either with us or against us" Bush policy the left-wing hates so much. Just a different way of saying it. That sounds like an invasion to me. And what Obama fails to realize is that Pakistan is an ally country with a unstable government and a radical population. If we invade, or send troops in there, or whatever you want to call it, then that population may rise up and overthrow Mushareff. And that would lead to an even worse situation than we are involved in with Iraq. Pakistan has nuclear weapons, I remind you.

So he has shifted from the idea of opening up a new group paralell to the G8 with thesame goals and just not inviting Russia? Last time I heard him explain it this was what he proposed. Since kicking someone out of the G8 was pretty tough to do without causing a real problem.

cyberdude611 -> RE: McCain wants to kick Russia out of G-8 (5/2/2008 8:34:32 AM)
The G-8 works similar to the UN Security Council. It works with pretty much unanamity. That way no one can be kicked out.

Any meaningful group of nations would need the EU, Japan, India and China. None as far as I know would be willing to cooperate with America ignoring Russia.
