“John McCain says that Americans are supporting Georgia. We are Georgians today. Everybody is a Georgian today.”

President Saakashvili singled out John McCain for his support of Georgia in August 2008 at a massive rally in Tbilisi.
The crowd roared!

Today Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili awarded Senator John McCain with the Order of Georgian National Hero at the Sheraton in Batumi. Saakashvili honored John McCain for taking time during his campaign to stand with the people of Georgia… while others hid behind bushes.
Isria reported, via Islam in Europe.

The President of Georgia Mikheil Saakashvili awarded Senator John McCain with the Order of Georgian National Hero at Sheraton Hotel in Batumi.

“This is the person, who has lived all his life as a hero. He accomplished much heroism for the United States and for Georgia as well. On behalf of Georgia, on behalf of today’s Georgians and Georgians of free future, I award Senator McCain with an award of Georgian National Hero”, stated the President of Georgia.

The President of Georgia noted that one can find out who is a friend in the period of hardship.

“Many people swore friendship to us, but some of them hid behind the bushes. This man was leading the main fight of his life, when Russia declared an open war against us. He left his election campaign, he lost several days and came to Georgia. McCain defended Georgia several times a day on different TV channels around the world. We must never forget it”, stated the President of Georgia.

Mikheil Saakashvili presented Senator McCain a pistol. A Russian General sold this pistol to one Georgian high official in August 2008 and said that this pistol belonged to a US pilot, who had been detained in Vietnam. The President returned this pistol to Senator McCain symbolically, who was detained in Vietnam during the War for several years.

“This is not only my award, it belongs to Georgians, to Americans. This will be the most important award among those awards that I have received during my life. I will keep it in my heart”, stated Senator McCain and once again noted that he supports Georgia’s sovereignty and independence.

OF course, we all know who was hiding behind the bushes.

The liberals are asking us to give Obama time.
We agree and think 25 to life would be appropriate.

Saakashvili is a tool hiding behind NATO.

Russia declared war? Sorry kids, it’s not that simple.

South Ossetia declared independence from Georgia, based on the right of self-determination that all peoples have. The same right that allowed Kosovo to become independent.

However, Georgia disagreed. The US disagreed. The EU disagreed. Even the UN screamed (no surprise there.)

Kosovo can declare its independence from Serbia (which is still painted as evil in Austrian and German media), but South Ossetia can’t do the same, because Georgia is perfect? Or what was the reason for denying the people in South Ossetia their right of self-determination? The same right that is invoked by all kinds of s**theads all the time? Oh wait, South Ossetia would be a puppet state of Russia? Duh, what do you think the Kosovo is? A puppet state of Albania, which is coming more and more under the influence of the islamo-fascists.

The Kosovo, after massive ethnic cleansing, after driving masses of Serbs out of the area, under the eyes of the UN and EU, declares its independence and everybody cheers.

South Ossetia does the same (minus the ethnic cleansing, mind you) and everybody boos.

Saakashvili is a tool of the undemocratic factions that are holding Europe in their grip and which are also spreading into the US.

The Russians are class A hypocrites. They support the ‘territorial integrity’ of Serbia, however when it comes to parts of Georgia and Moldova, they support the ‘will of the people.’ The thing is that the Abkhazia part of Georgia….was half Georgian in 1897 and Russia claims it all….now it’s Georgian population which in 1989 numbered nearly 300,000 has been deported by the Russian Army….a modern day continuation of the Age of Deportations–30,000,000 people deported from 1939-1941, 1944-1953 with 6,000,000 deaths thanks to FDR’s support.

Though I’m no fan of McCain (unless you compare him to Olympia Snowe), being of Eastern German heritage I applaud him taking some sort of a stance against Russia’s reckless expansionism.

Andreas K. commented:

Stephen, that argument can be turned around as well.

The US, the EU, the UN, etc, support the “territorial integrity” of Georgia. But when it comes to Kosovo, they support the will of the people. Same thing. Exactly the same thing.

Stephen commented:

I have to admit both sides are wrong on the Kosovo issue…it, like Bosnia, and indeed Abkhazia, should be divided along ethno-linguistic lines (roughly half to Russia and half remaining in Georgia), as in pre-ethnic cleansing lines (you don’t reward criminals, least of all of that magnitude), rather than held together artificially through force. The current approach leads to short term peace but long term conflict while the opposite leads to long term peace after short term conflict.

Needles to say though–Russia’s response was insane, though not as insane as it’s 1994 ‘action’ and ethnic cleansing. Georgia is small and mountainous and poses no threat. As things are, even if Georgia had an army of any size, it would have to cross the Caucasus mountains in order to enter Russian territory. It is not an Islamic country, instead it was and still is the second country to officially become Christian, following Armenia in the early fourth century.

This is the stuff McCain does well. He is a hero. He’s tough as nails. However he was not tough on Obie and that has cost us a lot of suffering.

McCain would be a 100% better president than Obummer the Dumber — anti-Freedom cheer leading street thug. Too bad the robot kiddies indoctrinated at leftist institutions and leftist TV media voted in a buffoon who hates the Bible, hates God, and worships Abdullah’s behind –because Abdullah as power as a theocratic thug ruler of oil.

Yup, this is the good side of John McCain… I’ve got NO problem with his national defense posture… he’s brave, wise, and principled when it comes to these matters.

You can bet that the Russians were doing handstands when Obama won the election… they were afraid of McCain… just like I was on Cap-n-Tax, lol
