In case you missed it, here’s part of President Bush’s sit-down with NBC’s Olympic host Bob Costas on Sunday, during which a somewhat squirmy Bush talked about what he said to Vladimir Putin during the opening festivities, lamenting how the fighting in Georgia was conflicting with the spirit of the Olympics.

Watch the clip here.

How come—at least as far as I know—no commentator ever seems to mention that Russia is doing exactily what we’ve been doing in the Middle East and thus Bush has no moral authority to make his remarks?

It seemsto me the commentators are supporting Bush by not mentioning it often and at great length.

Listen to the way he “destroys” the Russian President’s last name.  He added an extra syllable, right down the middle. Hahaha !!

The sheer open and proud hypocricy of not just Bush but McCain and the media, in condemning Russia for invading Georgia and ignoring cease-fire appeals, is beyond belief!

Apparently the faaar more brutal and criminal U.S. invasion of Iraq, as well as the U.S.-Israeli ignoring of the Lebanese government’s appeals for a cease-fire during its invasion by Israel, are not to be considered.

“Do as we say, not as we do”, is America’s foreign policy in a nutshell.

How embarrassing it’s going to be when the US involvement in this provocational conflict comes to light.  US arms sales to Georgian militants are already out. The CIA/MI6/MOSSAD global provocateur network is running terrorism and proxy wars all over the world. Doubtful if anyone can shut them down. Don’t look to Brzezinski’s Obama. He’s with the program
