Hey, Bob Kerry says that John McCain is trustworthy on these issues. ANd McCain wants to put us in a position to be forced to attack Russia by speeding up the admission of Georgia into NATO. Since its very possible that this thing is where it is at because Russia is trying to pre-empt the inclusion of Georgia into NATO, I'm not sure what he thinks forcing RUssia's hand will do. OUr entire posture against the USSR was MAD. WE're not going to launch nuclear missiles over Georgia. ANd short of that, we don't have the military power to do much to protect a country that sits within the old Soviet borders. Lawson Lawson
