That’s what we’d get if John McCain were elected President of the United States. Today’s example of Mr. McCain’s sharp wit:

“My friends, we have reached a crisis, the first probably serious crisis internationally since the end of the Cold War. This is an act of aggression.” John McCain

 

Guess what he is talking about… Russia’s reaction to Georgia’s attempt to annex South Ossetia by force. How big a region is South Ossetia and how many people live there? It’s slightly smaller than Rhode Island with a population of about 70,000. Here’s my question: Can anyone name a military crisis since the end of the Cold War that involved a larger region with more inhabitants? Anyone? How about Afghanistan (2002), Iraq I (1991) and Iraq II (2002-present), Slovenia (1991), Croatia (1991-95), Bosnia (1992-95), etc.
