Invading Sovereign Countries: Middle East OK, Europe No


John Stewart points out how Bush has the balls to call out Russia and the virtuous Putin, who's eyes he looked into and saw a good man, for invading Georgia. Consistency is not W's strong suit, although he consistently has disregard for international standards which is is nice. Our US Ambassador to Iraq objectively showcases our weakness brought on by the Bush Doctrine.
Stewart: “It’ll be very interesting to see what the United States does here. Our invasion of Iraq somewhat hamstrings our options in Georgia, not just militarily, but also dimplomaticly, and I guess you would say, morally? Let’s watch our UN Ambsassador Zalmay Khalilzad dance the delicate dance…

Khalilzad: We want to make sure our Russian colleagues understand that the days of overthrowing leaders by military means…

Stewart: Careful, Khalilzad. Steady…steady…

Khalilzad: The days of overthrowing leaders by military means in Europe, those days are gone…

Stewart: Yes! He did it! Those days are gone…in Europe. In the Middle East, it’s morning in America.
The Bush Doctrine has streamlined the invasion of countries without out all the need for lies and deception like WMD. George W's legacy in in place. Putin gets bonus points for efficiency.
