#1 The Germans and French have a clear position: they will not recognize Georgian territorial integrity as long as there are unsettled sovereignty issues with Russia. I hope this at long last sinks in: within a sovereignty association - Commonwealth of Independent States - Georgia was given administrative powers, in trust, over ethnic minority enclaves. Nationalist seized on Russian benevolence to commence implementation of the infamous "Georgia for Georgians" ethnic cleansing scheme. That was aborted until Georgia's current number one loser attempted to play the NATO card, and his last play started with indiscriminate shelling of civilian areas.

Please, toss away the broken records - don't be afraid to look at the preconception-beating, tie-munching video of Mr Stupid - and allow the above to impact on the brain.

Clearly, most posters here have lost confidence in Saint Saak. Get with the program.

#2 One wonders why we bother having other posters, with you around to say what they all believe in.

Any other cheap rhetorical tricks?

#3 I hope the enemies of freedom, like Russia, are populated at high levels with intellects such as yours McMoron. Their destruction in the coming years will be all that much easier.

#4 McZoid, you sound like a broken record. Not sure what's your motivation, but people here are inoculated. It's futile. Or are you paid per word?

Just tell your politruk it is useless and ask for a reassignmnet. Maybe he won't shoot you and assign you to DailyKos.

#5 Three types of burned out resolve so far; will we reach pure desperation ad hominem nirvana?

The Sauds have refused 100% of US extradition applications since 9-11. Duh, what do we do about that? Duh, deflect our Orwellian "two minute hate" needs at fictitious "enemies." Duh, where can I see Saint Saak chewing his hero-tie?

#6 Geebus, Zoid...

Someone is good at editing video and production of satirical clips and you think it is real!

I estimated fairly decent gullibility factor figure, but you just blew it out of water.

#9 Abkhazia, S. Ossetia must remain part of Georgia: Bush

And Iraq & Afghanistan must become liberal democracies.

#10 They better!

I know. Just words... Is that what you are trying to say?

Afghanistan--unlikely
Iraq--chances slim, but better than none.

McZoid dear, you did notice that it was Fred who posted this article? That would be Mr. Fred Pruitt, retired military intelligence analyst and owner of this website. This site is his personal and private property, within which he can do as he damned well pleases, regardless of the opinions of any majority or minority which he permits to post here.

Surely your mother taught you better manners toward a gracious host, up there in the wilds of Canada.

#12 "There is no room for debate on this matter"

Said the Spanish King to the Dutch in the 16th century
Said King George to the American colonists
Said Milosevic to Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia...

When an overwhelming majority of people want something, there WILL be a debate on that matter.

#13 From the movie "Shogun"

So many to choose from but one of my favorite is:

Toranaga: There is no mitigating factor for rebellion against your liege lord.

Blackthorne: Unless you win.

Toranaga: Very well, you may have named the one mitigating factor.

#14 The historial basis for Toranaga won, right?
Posted by Abdominal Snowman 2008-08-17 16:50||   2008-08-17 16:50|| Front Page Top

#15 Yes he won.

And Blackthorne was referring to the Dutch struggle against Spain.

It's what it all boils down to: You win, you were right.

#16 As usual though, try to be cautious about whether Toranaga is always talking about the same thing you're talking about.

#20 Did Fred Pruitt every get that janitor job that he went for? He could use a dental plan.

#21 no, he lost it to "Another Darrell", who, it seemed, had a proclivity for dirt and slime. Fred, however, did patronize the facilities "Another Darrell" religiously (so to speak) maintained. So, in a way, you know him ....directly. Good to know, huh?



nice try

#22 "No room for debate" is quite outrageous, if you think about it.

So the South Ossetians cannot even debate what they want?

#23 do they have to explain the Russian hand up their puppet ass? I thought not...

I have no love for the so. ossetians , but the least you could do is adopt an identifiable nym so when the Russian boot treads on civilians, you would bear the verbal (oh so tough, I know) consequences. I guess not, coward

#24 I have used this nym ever since I commented and didn't want to change it for exactly that reason.

The South Ossetians do not want to be ruled by Georgia. They do not want it now, they did not want it 20 years ago.

Abkhazia btw was incorporated into Georgia by Stalin.
