He wants WHO to do WHAT?

OOPS!

Obama called for the UN Security Council to pass a resolution condemning Russia for their recent "violence" (um, it's called an INVASION Barry ;) ) in Georgia, forgetting apparently that Russia has veto power in the Security Council!

So the point of doing that would be what exactly?

Meanwhile, McCain rightly calls for NATO to convene an Emergency session b/c Russia is NOT part of NATO (and if the free world has any sense at all, they never will be either).

ERIE, Pa. (AP)--John McCain and Barack Obama agree on how to deal with the fighting between Russia and Georgia.

Both want a multi-prong diplomatic effort and are warning Moscow that it's relations with the rest of the world are at stake.

John McCain wonders if Russia didn't feel freer to attack Georgia after NATO put a "membership action plan" for Georgia on hold. McCain and Obama both think NATO should reconsider that decision.

McCain also believes NATO's North Atlantic Council should convene an emergency session to demand a cease-fire, and begin talking about a peacekeeping force for South Ossetia.

Obama thinks the U.N. Security Council should pass a resolution calling for an immediate end to the violence. He also thinks a U.N. mediator should join efforts to try to end the fighting.

Oh, p.s., Obama's early comments called for "restraint on both sides."

HUH?????

So Georgia gets invaded, and they should show "restraint" while defending themselves and their citizens? That's like telling David to show restraint towards Goliath!

Now he calls for an end to the "violence???"

This isn't "violence" this is WAR and it's a war started by RUSSIA through INVASION.

Not everything is a little skirmish caused by a disagreement that can be resolved by a UN slap on the wrist! (Wait, I can't think of any "violence" never mind war between nations that has been solved that way....)
