Please Don’t Encourage Him
After John McCain’s “We are all Georgians” comment yesterday, Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili wants Senator McGrumperson to put up or shut up:
Georgian president Mikheil Saakashvili on Wednesday called for John McCain and other American leaders to do more for Georgia in their response to the conflict in his country. “Yesterday, I heard Sen. McCain say, ‘We are all Georgians now,’” Saakashvili said on CNN’s American Morning. “Well, very nice, you know, very cheering for us to hear that, but OK, it’s time to pass from this. From words to deeds.”
Oh boy. You know, there’s nothing worse than asking neoconservatives to follow their words with deeds. They have an annoying habit of actually listening.
Unless, of course, McCain is just posturing to score points on the campaign trail. America’s hero wouldn’t be that cynical, would he?
Heh.
