MOSCOW, Russia (CNN) -- Russia's president has ordered an end to military operations against Georgia, the official Russian news agency Interfax reported Tuesday.So, Russia punished the aggressors that didn't attack Russia but Russia attacked Georgia. Wow. I see that UDL exists over there as well. Oh...UDL = Upside Down Land. And, since when did Russia give a damn about "barbaric and brutal action"?
"I have reached a decision to halt the operation to force the Georgian authorities to peace," President Dmitry Medvedev said, according to Interfax.
The report also quoted Medvedev as saying that the "aggressor in South Ossetia has been punished and has incurred very significant losses."
Shortly before the announcement, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov told a press conference in Moscow Tuesday that it would only accept a cease-fire if Georgia withdrew from the disputed region of South Ossetia and agreed to renounce the use of force.
Lavrov said Moscow did not trust the country's leadership.
He said Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili's "barbaric and brutal action" had undermined trust in Georgia. [...]
The Russian government's incompetent attack against John McCain has handed him a great weapon against Obama. The attack makes clear that the Kremlin wants Obama to win the election but the open support of a nation busy doing this is hardly going help a candidate who's already fighting a reputation for dictator-coddling. John McCain's statement on the crisis was excellent, but there's a lot more his campaign can do. [...] Read the restWe already know that the Jihadi scum, including the fruit loop of Iran, are hoping for an Obama presidency so it is no surprise that Putin wants very much Obama to be his competition. And don't hand me that nonsense that Putin isn't in charge of Russia either. Even an idiot knows that much. The McCain campaign needs to make this clear to the American People because first and foremost it is true.
"The mindless slaughter is being conducted by a Russian military that seeks to reassert itself not only in the former Soviet Union but also to extend its reach throughout what used to be the former Soviet Union in an attempt to fold back into the Russian empire those countries that have broken away from it, most notably Georgia."In addition, McCain said the following:
Today, news reports indicate that Russian military forces crossed an internationally-recognized border into the sovereign territory of Georgia. Russia should immediately and unconditionally cease its military operations and withdraw all forces from sovereign Georgian territory. What is most critical now is to avoid further confrontation between Russian and Georgian military forces. The consequences for Euro-Atlantic stability and security are grave.Here is what Czarbama said and after you have read the aspiring to be president remarks, try and determine which one is more presidential. The answer, even to the oblivious, is obvious.
The government of Georgia has called for a cease-fire and for a resumption of direct talks on South Ossetia with international mediators. The U.S. should immediately convene an emergency session of the United Nations Security Council to call on Russia to reverse course. The U.S. should immediately work with the EU and the OSCE to put diplomatic pressure on Russia to reverse this perilous course it has chosen. We should immediately call a meeting of the North Atlantic Council to assess Georgia's security and review measures NATO can take to contribute to stabilizing this very dangerous situation. Finally, the international community needs to establish a truly independent and neutral peacekeeping force in South Ossetia.
"I strongly condemn the outbreak of violence in Georgia, and urge an immediate end to armed conflict," Obama said in a statement. "Now is the time for Georgia and Russia to show restraint, and to avoid an escalation to full-scale war. Georgia's territorial integrity must be respected."Simply amazing, is it not? Czarbama FINALLY got around to at least saying the right thing. I doubt if he really meant it because after all, he is a fellow Marxist and that is what Putin wants to renew...a Marxist Moscow.
Obama called for direct talks among all sides and said the United States, U.N. Security Council and other parties should try to help bring about a peaceful resolution.
"Russian agression must not go unanswered. Its continuation would have serious consequences for its relations with the United States."Short and sweet. No wonder the moonbats hate him.

The United States has told Russia to withdraw its forces from US ally Georgia and stop its air attacks on the tiny Caucasus state following fighting in the breakaway region of South Ossetia. [...]That isn't good.
