Deal with what, exactly? Did some Christian God pronounce America to be the One True Super Power or something?


Great. Fucking Great. The fucking Douchebag in Chief is right now announcing that he's sending military units into Georgia. I'm starting to think that this was the plan all along, and explains why they were egging on the little moron in Georgia to attack the separatists. What does he hope to accomplish? We're going to "teach Russia a lesson"? Or are we going to slap them back into place?

Edit: I was typing this when the Idiot In Chief came on TV and I lost my train of thought. Yes, National Security and Foreign Policy should be the top issues in this election. Should we continue with Bush's failed policies? Or should we actually put real policies in place to actually improve our security, and a foreign policy that's a little more substantial than "stop that or I'll hit you"?
