My friends, we have reached a crisis, the first probably serious crisis internationally since the end of the Cold War. This is an act of aggression.I guess the whole 9/11 thing wasn't a crisis. I suppose our 2003 invasion of Iraq, a country that had nothing to do with 9/11 and a war we are still fighting, wasn't a crisis either. I guess our invasion of Afghanistan, a war we are also still fighting, isn't a crisis as well. And our 1991 invasion of Iraq was not a crisis so I don't know why we created the largest coalition in world history to deal with it. India and Pakistan gaining nuclear weapons, Pakistan a country currently harboring the person responsible for 9/11, is not a crisis either.
It's easy to understand why McCain would want us to believe that this is our first crisis since 1992. It's because all he knows is Cold War ideology. Such ideology is the basis of neoconservatism, and neoconservatism is the new McCain. It's the McCain that voted with Bush 95% of the time. This ideology is the continuation of the Bush presidency, something America desperately cannot afford. They have greatly botched our current 5 year war in Iraq so now they must move onto a new "crisis." Something to take our minds off their blunders of the last 8 years. It's also a "crisis" that McCain's top foreign policy adviser is making mega-bucks from.
It will become, just like Iraq was in 2003 and was apparently until today, the greatest calling of our generation. The Georgian Conflict will be so important, it will become WWIII or IV, and the chickenhawks will trip over their keyboards to go fight. This new crisis is the blunders of Iraq repackaged.
