This man is such an idiot.

I think "Idiot" would be a step up...

Well, hello, J.D. It's been a while.

Obama: Georgia? that is next to South Carolina, right?

Idjit?

But, but, I'm the chosen one, I'm greater than their veto....

/Obambi

Brilliant ... please pass the nuclear football. He's great with ball handling donchaknow.

Does he know anything?

There was someone else who made a joke about that 3 am phone call -- in the event of a world crisis/ impending emergency situation, Obama would immediately phone the UN...

Because the U.N. is going to drop everything and fix this, right? Right...?

anyone?

I feel sick. This man could be President? I think Paula Abdul would do a better job.

300 advisers helped prepare that statement.

And introducing the not ready for Prime Time Candidate...

This coming from the side of the aisle that mocks Bush for his strategry.

For the first time in my adult life,
I am proud to think
that a major party's

is a moron.

re: #9 Noam Sayin'

Perhaps we should be asking, does he really and truly CARE?

Sure Russia has veto power but everyone knows all it takes is a 2/3 majority in Congress to override the veto!

Thanks for the horrifying thought. I'll be organizing the Preparedness Bunker...

Oopsie. Maybe he should get a do-over. OK, maybe not.

Belief in the messiah takes a leap of faith.
The long jumpers in the Olympics can't freaking jump far enough to breach the chasm between here and 0bamessiah.

He's not anywhere near as smart as his publicity would hope you think.

This is the brilliance that the Democrats and their 300 advisers could come up with? Pass a UN resolution in the Security Council when Russia has a veto? Are you kidding me?

Are you $^@! kidding me? For someone who's supposedly got all kinds of advisers to tell him about the world and what to say and the way things work, they can't even get the basics right?

The UN would be even more useless in a situation directly involving one of the five permanent members than if it involved other nations. Heck, the US can't get resolutions passed on Darfur or Zimbabwe, and Obama comes up with this?

Jeez.

Obama has already flip-flopped on what he'd do, and this latest mess doesn't help him.

re: #9 Noam Sayin'

No.

Totally unfair. I didn't know that either.

Oh yeah...not running for POTUS!

This blithering idiot is just stuck on stupid.

dee dee dee!

Obama does have a messianic complex, but he's really too stupid to be the anti-christ.

Every time this man opens his mouth, he proves he's unqualified to be President.

Charles? Love the "jump to bottom" button. Thanks!

Oh, yeah, BHO's an idiot.

Well, yeah.

A reader claimed that:

According to Article 27 of the UN Charter, a party to a dispute must abstain from voting, so Russia could not exercise its veto. However, they can probably depend on China to veto on their behalf.

Another reader claimed this Article didn't apply and was "toothless". I know zilch about the UN (and that's the way I likes it) so I recuse myself from commenting.

Abstaining from voting does not mean that they must refrain from commenting, threatening, bribery and arm-twisting. And VETO power has nothing to do with voting.

On a happier note, I think I've invented a recipe (I'm not much of a cook, and tend to grow garden stuff that looks pretty, so we'll see). I sauteed some five-color Swiss chard and some malabar spinach in olive with garlic and red pepper flake. Added two smushed up beefsteak tomatoes, and am stewing down the mess to concentrate the tomato juice. Added a little fresh basil. When it's done stewing, will add parmesan cheese and dip bread in it.

Cost? Free. Shweet...

From the UN website..

Russia's UN Ambassador voices ceasfire terms

I would cut and paste the highlights, but that function is not enabled from that page. In a word, he said the Russian troops would not leave until Georgia removes its troops from occupied South Ossetia. And he said in order to consider withdrawing Russian troops they must first make sure there is no chance of genocide there.

re: #60 pingjockey

Does obambi have a clue about how the real world works?

I'm not at all convinced that he has a clue where the real world is, to say nothing of how it works.

It seems that Obambi's admitted use of cocaine, when applied to the rules put forth for military personnel, forever disqualifies him from being anywhere near anything at all nuclear in any of the services. Because it is so addictive. And because it destroys so much of your brain.

Only excuse I can think of.

re: #69 Mich-again:

RUSSIA'S UN AMBASSADOR VOICES CEASEFIRE TERMS

Russia will consider ceasefire and withdrawal of forces only after Georgia returns to pre-clashes status-quo and pulls its troops from "occupied" areas of South Ossetia, Vitaly Churkin, the Russia''s UN ambassador, said on 10 August.

But he also stressed that return to status-quo should no way apply to the Russian forces currently fighting with the Georgian troops in the region.

"There must not be any illusions about that," Churkin said. "In order to consider withdrawal of our forces we must make sure that there is no chance of genocide there."

He was speaking after an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council - the third one in last few days. The Council has again failed to reach an agreement on the wording of an appeal for an end to the hostilities.

"There is a straightforward way to stop fighting, to stop killing: for Georgians to withdraw and then to have an agreement on non-use of force signed and then we can talk on other verity things, including [on] military and political arrangements," Churkin said.

re: #59 MandyManners

Would it be fruitless to look for a connection between Putin and Soros?

Probably.

Even if the UN passed a resolution, what exactly could that possibly accomplish?

re: #77 rightymouse

There's some discussion about this over at NRO from Jonah Goldberg and some readers as to whether Russia has to abstain from voting because it is a party to the dispute.

Then parlaying himself into Obamessiah, pulling out all the stops and using every trick in the book to pander to every liberal and identity group he could.

He's a political animal but not a legislator, leader or statesman. He makes Bill Clinton look like a great American hero.

But he's so dreamy! and he's so inspirational! he did that housing project in Chicago that was a total failure- but so what? his heart was in the right place! So he's clueless with foreign policy. Once Obama is our savior - we won't need foreign policy!

With Obama largely out of the news cycle this week, McCain has used the political vacuum to polish his foreign policy credentials.

"Russian President [Dmitry] Medvedev and Prime Minister Putin must understand the severe, long-term negative consequences that their government's actions will have for Russia's relationship with the U.S. and Europe," he said Monday, the latest in his harsh words for Russia.

He urged the U.N. Security Council to condemn the violence, even with the threat of a Russian veto. Russia's actions, he said, must be submitted to "the court of world opinion."

re: #96 Sharmuta
Oh crap, that is right. I forgot.

He has 300 advisor's and no one said we have to talk?

Further, he warned that Russian expansionism also poses a threat to residents of Florida, Alabama, Tenessee, and South Carolina.

His advisers won't tell Obama that the U.N. "collective security" mechanism, in the form of the U.N. Security Council, has now attained the effectiveness of the League of Nations.

Only U.S. support for the U.N. keeps it alive today.

re: #52 galloping granny

Abstaining from voting does not mean that they must refrain from commenting, threatening, bribery and arm-twisting. And VETO power has nothing to do with voting.

There's an update to the update at NRO. Turns out that Obama really doesn't know what he's talking about:

Dear Jonah,

Regarding your recent post on the UN Charter: Your reader failed to cite the full Article 27, which only calls for a member of the Security Council that is party to a dispute to abstain from voting if the matter at hand is being decided under Chapter VI or paragraph 3 of Article 52. Chapter VI of the Charter pertains to "Pacific Settlement of Disputes". It is a toothless chapter and simply amounts to the UN asking the parties involved to settle their disputes by peaceful means. Chapter VI resolutions are not binding on member states. Russia would not, however, be required to abstain from voting on any Article VII resolutions regarding a dispute to which it is a party. Article VII of the Charter pertains to "Action With Respect to Threats to the Peace, Breaches of the Peace, and Acts of Aggression," which has more teeth than Chapter VI (at least in theory) and is theoretically binding on all member states.

So, your first assumption regarding Obama was likely correct: He simply doesn't know what he is talking about, and has taken this opportunity to demonstrate once again his foreign policy cluelessness.

re: #167 Maximu§

re: #123 Fat Bastard Vegetarian

Heh. I grow a nice garden, considering I don't really like vegetables.
Three types of tomatoes, zucchini, green beans, malabar spinach, lettuce, chard, and cucumbers, with carrots and beets just planted (all heirloom open-pollinated, and grown by organic means). Partly it's just getting practice in--I'm a pessimist prepardeness type at heart, and like to know I can grow an organic garden if it comes to that. I do like the tomatoes, though, and I share the rest with others...

This shows you that if you want to be president you have to study up on all of those kinds of details.

I'm of the opinion that the job of president is too big. It requires too much knowledge, as they are supposed to be experts on energy, medicine, economics, etc. This is one reason, though not the primary one, that government should be limited in size and scope. Stick to defense, police, and courts in order to uphold rights. Leave the rest to the private sector.

Of course, Obama is a big government proponent who thinks he can lower sea level, so apparently he wants to assume level of expert on virtually everything.

Michael Milken Crony Helps Soros Topple Governments Around the World
George Soros no longer bothers denying that he funded and helped organize the so-called Rose Revolution — the uprising which toppled Eduard Shevardnadze from the presidency of the former Soviet Republic of Georgia in November 2003. Soros' role in the coup has become common knowledge (see, for instance, "Georgia Revolt Carried Mark of Soros" by Mark MacKinnon, Globe and Mail, November 26, 2003 and "Georgia on his Mind – George Soros' Potemkin Revolution" by Ambassador Richard Carlson, The Weekly Standard, May 24, 2004).

Now a cover story in the April 25 issue of The New Republic provides an additional piece to the puzzle. It informs us that one Peter Ackerman assisted Soros in his Georgian adventure.

The article "Regime Change, Inc." by TNR senior editor Franklin Foer offers an admiring portrait of Ackerman, a one-time Sixties radical turned investment banker, who worked closely with junk bond wizard Michael Milken at Drexel Burnham Lambert until the 1989 scandal erupted which sent Milken to prison for regulatory infractions.

From Wednesday's Globe and Mail

November 26, 2003 at 2:03 AM EDT

Tbilisi — It was back in February that billionaire financier George Soros began laying the brickwork for the toppling of Georgian President Eduard Shevardnadze.

That month, funds from his Open Society Institute sent a 31-year-old Tbilisi activist named Giga Bokeria to Serbia to meet with members of the Otpor (Resistance) movement and learn how they used street demonstrations to topple dictator Slobodan Milosevic. Then, in the summer, Mr. Soros's foundation paid for a return trip to Georgia by Otpor activists, who ran three-day courses teaching more than 1,000 students how to stage a peaceful revolution.

Last weekend, the Liberty Institute that Mr. Bokeria helped found was instrumental in organizing the street protests that eventually forced Mr. Shevardnadze to sign his resignation papers. Mr. Bokeria says it was in Belgrade that he learned the value of seizing and holding the moral high ground, and how to make use of public pressure — tactics that proved so persuasive on the streets of Tbilisi after this month's tainted parliamentary election.

In Tbilisi, the Otpor link is seen as just one of several instances in which Mr. Soros gave the anti-Shevardnadze movement a considerable nudge: He also funded a popular opposition television station that was crucial in mobilizing support for this week's "velvet revolution," and he reportedly gave financial support to a youth group that led the street protests.

He also has a warm relationship with Mr. Shevardnadze's chief opponent, Mikhail Saakashvili, a New York-educated lawyer who is expected to win the presidency in an election scheduled for Jan. 4. Last year, Mr. Soros personally presented Mr. Saakashvili with the foundation's Open Society Award.

re: #127 galloping granny

Did you ever take a psych class? Child, human development, abnormal - any of those will do. Read what you wrote.

Most people have a lot more troubled a childhood than the Ozzie and Harriet version. Obama may be damaged because of his childhood, but anyone running for president, like many people who have overcome damage to become functioning adults, should have undergone intensive self-analysis. Obama's self-analysis seems to begin and end with "I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together." Googoogajoob. He will make the oceans recede and wars end.

A troubled childhood itself is not a disqualification for president, but if you don't look back at your past and look at yourself and then get over it, you end up a narcissistic self-pitying adult. Some people get over things, and some never do. Obama happens to have a lot of ambition too, maybe to prove something to the image of his father who he never knew. He even wrote a book "Dreams from my Father."

Hitler also had a troubled childhood, was narcissistic and self-pitying and had a lot of ambition. I would hope such a person would never be elected POTUS.

There are 2 pipelines through Geogria:

1. The Baku-Supsa pipeline carries ~150,000 bbl/day.
2. The Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline will carry ~1,000,000 bbl/day when at full capacity next year.

The world uses about 70,000,000 bbl/day. Interruption of the pipeline would only have an impact of 1.6% on the supply of crude - maybe an xtra $2.50 onto a barrel of oil?

The Nigerian strike is shutting in more production than that- this is small potatoes overall, though could impact European markets directly. They're lucky this isn't a winter campaign.

If Russia gave a rip about the court of world opinion, they never would have acted militarily in the first place.

Don't worry. George Clooney will know what to do about Russia, and then he'll email Obama.

GEORGE Clooney once declared he could never run for public office because he'd "slept with too many women, done too many drugs and been to too many parties".

But now the Hollywood heart-throb has entered the political arena - by becoming an unofficial adviser to US presidential front-runner Barack Obama.

Oscar-winner Clooney is said to be helping the Democratic candidate polish his image, but is also sharing his strong opinions on Iraq and the Middle East.

Georgia on His Mind - George Soros's Potemkin Revolution.

By Amb. Richard Carlson
The Weekly Standard
May 24, 2004

At the Voice of America during the Cold War some of the most troublesome employees were those who broadcast daily to the Soviet Union and its satellite states, in Russian, Azeri, Georgian, Ukrainian, Serbo-Croatian, and so on. These staffers were often émigrés--well-educated, sometimes understandably bitter men and women whose attitudes had been formed by a Communist political system in which errors in judgment or action brought disproportional punishment, while rewards could derive from deep, back-channel manipulation of appearances and an avoidance of responsibility. ("Deny everything, make counter-allegations" seemed the guideline in discussions with senior managers. "I didn't do it. He did!" the standard retort.)

Of the more than 50 VOA language services at that time, the most blustering and contentious, emanating a continuing, colorful, and aggressive hostility to management (accompanied by an ironic, bizarre willingness to grovel to tough, uncompromising leadership) was that which broadcast to the Soviet Republic of Georgia.

I was in Georgia last month, and it is still colorful and still difficult, a poor country, poorer even than Haiti, with a new president but the same culture--one that cultivates a swaggering, prideful masculinity in its leaders who, since the fall of the Soviet Union, have been lionized by the U.S. foreign policy establishment and the Western press but who just as quickly seem to morph from lion to demon.

A case in point is Eduard Shevardnadze, once the Soviet foreign minister, who was for more than a dozen years invariably described in the West as a stalwart friend of democracy and a liberal, honest fellow. Six months ago, he was ousted as the president of Georgia in a coup led by his young protégé, Mikhail Saakashvili, who is glorying in the same lavish treatment from the State Department and the media. They now paint him as honest, liberal, and democratic, while Shevardnadze is Bronx-cheered as corrupt and murderous, a brute who was forced from office by what Saakashvili (with an unerring eye for the sixties-sentimentality of the Western media) dubs "The Rose Revolution."

Late last fall, Saakashvili led thousands of "spontaneous" demonstrators, bused in from around Tbilisi, brandishing flowers as they invaded the president's palace. This was during the freezing Georgian winter when any roses not black and brittle had to be flown or trucked in, courtesy of the same bankroll that funded the fleet of rented buses for demonstrators: that of George Soros, the Hungarian-born billionaire and egotist. A former member of the Georgian Parliament said that in the three months before the "Rose Revolution," "from August through October, Soros spent $42 million ramping-up for the overthrow of Shevardnadze."

Soros has publicly committed himself to funding the "democratic" presidency of Mikhail Saakashvili, just as he has publicly committed himself and his money to the destruction of the presidency of George W. Bush, whom he has compared to Yasser Arafat and Hitler. Soros and the United Nations are paying the wages of all of Saakashvili's top government officials--ministers, deputies, the road police, and others--on the grounds that this will keep them from stealing. As if bribery and corruption were simply a problem of immediate financial need, not greed.

They get the PhD, we get the public domain computer program, the day after graduation they take that public domain computer program, throw in some neat additions they planned all along and start selling it for gazillions. That was how the biggest medical records software company started.

When I was a kid, at Carnival in New Orleans each year, there would be one parade where the Clydesdales would appear. That was always my favorite parade. The horses are magnificent. I loved them then, and still do.

There is a convergence between Obamanalysis and evolutionary thought.

There are some species of animals, like the Axolotl, that are neotonous, which means they reach sexual maturity without undergoing transformation from a larval stage to an adult stage. The Axolotl is an cave-dwelling amphibian that evolved from earlier amphibians that could undergo metamorphosis, but, in its environment, not reaching the adult stage was advantageous. Mutations that allowed for reproductive capacities to be reached before metamorphosis were favored in the lineage that gave rise to the Axolotl.

Obama is likewise a juvenile who has reached reproductive age before ever maturing into an adult with some grounding and thoughts of his own. He is a teenager who has the power to hypnotize certain people with his empty teenage rhetoric and is useful to other neotenous humans - baby-boomer 60s leftovers, black separatists, etc. The thought of a teenager in the White House is quite disturbing.

Do you think we can round up the "human shields" from the pre-Iraq War and send them to Georgia? Sean Penn please jump on a plane and help out the Georgians.

re: #202 Purple Prose

Nice post. The late journalist Theodore White compared RM Nixon to Hubert Humphrey. Both grew up in destitute families. RM Nixon's mother and younger brother both died of TB. His father was a poor orange farmer, and Nixon had to scimp and save in order to afford Whittier College (he did benefit from some scholarship money from local businessmen). Humphrey's family was just as poor; yet, his father saved enough money to take his family to the local symphony each year. Poverty affected each man differently, however. Humphrey became a champion for the poor; Nixon strove to reach the affluence and more importantly the social status of those he went to law school with (Nixon went to Duke, and admitted that he had no time to indulge in any screwing around as he could easily lose his scholarship if his grades dropped below a certain level). Nixon was the perfect striver, never satisfied with his station in life. Even after he became a wealthy bond lawyer in Manhattan during the mid 60s, he nursed his grudges against Them (The East Coast Elite, which included many RHINOS). Humphrey, while never winning the Presidency remained serene, even in defeat. Nixon, even after winning the Presidency was still not satisfied.

Obama has the exact opposite problem. He is expected to be the next FDR, JFK, and Gandhi combined. He really believes his own rhetoric. His wife eluded to as much when she snipped, "A President Obama will force you to leave your comfort zones. He will challenge you..." She also said her husband would heal our broken, wounded souls. Now, is he running for Arch-Bishop of Chicago or President? To the Obamas, it is the same thing.

The kind of people who now run as President all seem to have somewhat defective personalities (Reagan and the Bushes are exception). Slick Willey had a serious problem with the Truth; his wife has a serious problem with the Constitution, and Obama has a serious problem with grandiose illusions.

On suggestions from several lizards here, I have started to look through his books. Frankly the anger and bitterness toward so many in his family, especially his mother, shine through. I think this is a deeply disturbed person who hasn't had much control over his life, so he wants to control ours.
Hitler also had a troubled childhood, was narcissistic and self-pitying and had a lot of ambition. I would hope such a person would never be elected POTUS.

re: #84 galloping granny

I am of the understanding that there are three types of votes in the UN Security Council: 'Yes', 'No', and 'Abstain'. A 'No' vote by a permanent member is a Veto. An 'Abstain' isn't. Thus, China has actually only used the Veto sparingly, choosing 'Abstain' on most occasions (other than issues it perceives to be intolerable) in order maintain cordial relationships with as many countries as possible. It is a bit like calling 'Present' in Congress and not having to take a stand on divisive matters.

Therefore, if Russia has to 'Abstain' because according to Article 27, it's a procedural matter related to Russia, they cannot Veto by themselves. They will probably be able to count on China to bail them out, but it will also give China an opportunity to extract political concessions from Russia behind closed doors (and why not, since the Sino-Russian pseudo-alliance is only one of convenience, and China, with its own independent ambitions, will be weary of an expansionist Russia who it has fought several wars with).

Actually, the State Department should ask Sen. Obama to draft the resolution, have Our Amabassador (Khalmazedi, I Believe) introduce it with attribution to Sen. Obama, and let the world, televised to the max, see the result. Schadenfreud runs deep, into your heart it will creep...
