7. Gives corporate media some false pretenses to toss around.
Even though the policies he is espousing are very foolish, the battles in Georgia give the corporate media reporters some reasons to pretend that Dubya's Hug-Buddy John Sidney McCain III is stronger in national security.

They can only pretend because he actually made things more INSECURE by allowing the client of one of his campaign staffers to push him to support Georgia's repression of its separatists in South Ossetia and oppose Russia's stepping in to stop it. That move of Georgia's gave Russia the excuse to destroy some of the military armaments the US had sent them, so we have also lost money on the deal.

The idiot McBombBomb made us less secure. But these days, just by doing photo ops and saying something, anything-- JSM III can be said to be "stronger on national security."

Let's hope they prove me wrong and finally get fed up with defending another idiot. We have had seven humiliating years being the world's deranged laughingstock. Please let us stop this foolishness.


AND I HOPE YOU'RE RIGHT and the US public realize that all the war mongering has bankrupted us and we cannot afford any more of it.
