Obama And McCain On Georgia UPDATED: Obama Take Two

Compare and contrast time.

Obama in full:

I strongly condemn the outbreak of violence in Georgia, and urge an immediate end to armed conflict. 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. All sides should enter into direct talks on behalf of stability in Georgia, and the United States, the United Nations Security Council, and the international community should fully support a peaceful resolution to this crisis.

McCain in part:

"For many years, I have warned against Russian actions that undermine the sovereignty of its neighbors. Unfortunately, we have seen in recent days Russia demonstrate that these concerns were well-founded.

This afternoon I spoke, for the second time since the crisis began, with Georgian President Saakashvili. It is clear the situation is dire. Russian aggression against Georgia continues, with attacks occurring far beyond the Georgian region of South Ossetia. As casualties continue to mount, the international community must do all it can to avert further escalations. Tensions and hostilities between Georgians and Ossetians are in no way justification for Russian troops crossing an internationally recognized border. I again call on the Government of Russia to immediately and unconditionally withdraw its forces from the territory of Georgia.

...I am pleased the U.S. has agreed to facilitate the transfer of Georgian troops serving bravely in Iraq, who are now unfortunately needed to defend their own country

The bold in each statement is obviously my emphasis and I think nicely illustrates the differences between the two candidates.

UPDATE: Now that he's had time to crib from McCain's paper, Obama has released a new statement that sounds a little more like someone who knows what the hell they are talking about and not some inexperienced 'citizen of the world'.

Here's part of the new, tougher statement.

I just spoke separately with Secretary Rice and President Saakashvili about the grave crisis in Georgia. I told President Saakashvili that I was deeply concerned about the well-being of the people of Georgia.

Over the last two days, Russia has escalated the crisis in Georgia through it’s clear and continued violation of Georgia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. On Friday, August 8, Russian military forces invaded Georgia. I condemn Russia’s aggressive actions and reiterate my call for an immediate ceasefire. Russia must stop its bombing campaign, cease flights of Russian aircraft in Georgian airspace, and withdraw its ground forces from Georgia. Both sides should allow humanitarian assistance to reach civilians in need. Russia also must end its cyber war against Georgian government websites. Georgia’s territorial integrity must be respected.

Apparently someone looked it up and told Obama whose side we are on. Alas, the original statement is the true Obama, wishy washy equivalency.

Thanks to Gabe for the heads up on the new Obama statement.

Below the fold, what liberals will most likely call scaremongering. Personally, I just think it's a little perspective.

Does Obama understand that still relevant message? It sure doesn't sound like it.

Don't forget, one of Obama's foreign policy advisers thinks understanding Winnie the Poo is important to conducting foreign relations. For some reason, I don't think Vladamir Putin shares that sentiment. My guess is he thinks it's more like Jaws, except in his version, the shark wins.

Obama agrees with McCain that Georgia's borders need to stay as they are.

The difference is that Obama omits that Russian troops have crossed Georgia's borders already. Violence just sort of happens in Obamaworld; a bit like how knifes and guns kill people without anyone identifiably wielding them at the time.

The motto for the Obama Presidency, 2009-2012, is "please don't hurt me, and I don't want to know if you hurt anyone else"

Setting aside culpability, Obama's statement means nothing.

'Outbreak of violence.' You might as well condemn space, wetness, or the color purple. It isn't a thing that acts, it's a condition.

Setting that aside, we unfortunately need the Russians at the moment (Afghanistan, Iran, etc.) more than they need us.

When August is done, the RNC is going to put out a number of ads:

On energy - "pump up your tires" - 100% pure Carter

On Obama - "why do you ask that? racist!"

And now, on foreign aggression and, we must assume, crime - "the violence must stop" - yeah, but what about the aggressors?

Obama has lost the election already. The Dems have to know that if he keeps the nomination, the Repubs are further set to hold the line or even gain back some seats in the House. The Senate I'll grant you is going more Dem this year but not as bad as they say.

Or, they could nominate HRC and get landslide Demo results... nah, they're not that smart

Seriously, HRC needs to get back into Washington and be a Maverick.

She could start siding with the Republicans there to open up drilling and nuclear power. She is not Al Gore; her issue is healthcare, and energy ought to be a freeby for her.

And comments about foreign aggression would, again, be just what her Appalachian base needs to hear.

16 I'm trying to understand the reason for the fighting in Georgia. Apparently there are one or more Georgian provinces that either 1) want to be Russian rather than Georgian, or 2) are already independent; Georgia is trying to prevent/reverse this, and of course Russia is encouraging the splitting off of these provinces. And oil is a big factor.

Spook86 has a new post up at In From the Cold:

Various media outlets report that Moscow's Black Sea Fleet is steaming south, preparing for amphibious operations along the Georgian coast. That would open a second front for the Tbilisi's out manned military, placing a further strain on defenders.

I hadn't seen that anywhere else.

Posted by: Bugler at August 09, 2008 10:21 PM (YCVBL)

18  Jones, it's like this.

South Ossetia and Abkhazia are regions in Georgia that have tried to declare independence through violent means a few times since 1991. After the last time, Russia (and other members of the CIS) sent peacekeepers to both regions, ostensibly to prevent further violence. In reality, Russia's purpose is twofold: (1) stick a thumb in Georgia's eye; and (2) to grab as much territory for the Motherland as possible.

Georgia has been getting shelled from South Ossetia for the past few months and it escalated recently to the point where Georgia said "enough is enough." That's why Georgia tried to take the provincial capital on Friday. Russian "peacekeepers" tried to stop them and some were killed. Russia used that as an excuse to send in the tanks. And bombers.

Posted by: Gabriel Malor at August 09, 2008 10:22 PM (1Ug6U)

19 Bugler, at this point I'm inclined to believe those reports about the Black Sea Fleet, but keep in mind that there is very little unbiased reporting coming out of the region and in the absence of information rumors get traded around until people believe they are true.

The rumors that Russia had mobilized its Black Sea forces started this morning, but neither the Russians nor the Georgians have mentioned them yet. I'd wait until at least one of them does.

The big issue with the Black Sea forces is that they are more likely to operate in Abkhazia or Georgia proper than South Ossetia, which indicates that if Russia is calling in the fleet, things are much, much worse than we thought.

Yeah, Spook86's post is entitled "Going for the Knockout."  He seems to think Russia may be going for more than South Ossetia, but he doesn't say that explicitly.

Posted by: Bugler at August 09, 2008 10:33 PM (YCVBL)

23 Nothing the US can do but talk in this situation.  If the Ossetians and Abkhazians or Cossacks or whatever they are want their own space, the Georgians are better off without them.  The Russians have been there as "peacekeepers" for awhile - WTF did the Georgians think was going to happen if they attacked in Ossetia?  To take a different example, what if the Serbians attacked NATO forces in Kosovo?  The situation is not really much different.

The Georgians thought they were buying security and freedom of action by helping US out in Iraq (although I'm sure they were well-subsidized by US tax$$$).

They were wrong - See ya, wouldn't want to be ya, Georgia!

32 The situation is significantly different, as I wrote yesterday.

Why is it different?  Because you say so? 

I read what you wrote yesterday.  A mix of legalistic arguments and ignorance of facts.

Let me take a couple of examples out of your post yesterday:

Kosovo declared independence from Serbia in February and was immediately recognized by the U.S. and several other countries. (It has not been recognized by Russia or the UN, however.)

Yes, Kosovo is a US/EU client state, the way that "Ossetia" is a Russian client/irredentist Russian region.  Your point is?

Prior to that declaration, Serbia had lost all control of the region and international peacekeepers were keeping Serbia from retaking it.

Yes, NATO bombed Serbia into submission in 1999.  Oh yeah, but it was NATO and not the Russians, so it's different.

the whole of Kosovo was placed under international supervision following the wars in the late 1990s. The UN, through NATO, had ultimate administrative and military control.

Because we bombed the shit out of Serbia and occupied Kosovo.

There was no analogue to this in South Ossetia. Georgia has always been able to exert at-will military control over South Ossetia.

If that was true, looks like it's going to change, because the Georgians exerted a little too much "at will military control."

Third, Kosovar independence was achieved without military action. Actually, the fact that Kosovo was able to declare independence without going to war with Serbia is evidence of just how complete its de facto independence was.

This is so ridiculous - Kosovo is independent because NATO bombed the shit out of Serbia and occupied Kosovo, sending in troops and armored vehicles which were staged in Albania for that purpose.  How is that not "military action?"

By the way, I remember seeing McCain speak at a rally back in 2000 when he ran for president then.  He said that the bombing of Serbia had been "immoral" because the high altitude bombing caused less accuracy in identifying targets and thus more civilian deaths.  I thought that was an interesting and ballsy perspective - I wish we had that McCain back.

Yes, Kosovo is a US/EU client state, the way that "Ossetia" is a Russian client/irredentist Russian region.  [I like the way you gloss over the fact that Kosovo did have all the elements of statehood--you even call it a state--but can't quite bring yourself to say the same of South Ossetia. In fact, South Ossetia cannot be characterized as a "state" at all. It has no set territory, government, or the capacity to enter into relations with other states. All three (in addition to a permanent population) are requirements for statehood. Kosovo had them, South Ossetia does not.]

Prior to that declaration, Serbia had lost all control of the region and international peacekeepers were keeping Serbia from retaking it.

Yes, NATO bombed Serbia into submission in 1999.  Oh yeah, but it was NATO and not the Russians, so it's different. [The Russians did not bomb Georgia out of South Ossetia or Abkhazia at all. You obviously have no idea what you're talking about. Crawl back under your rock, please.]

Has nothing to do with "liberalism."  Sometimes you have to know when to fold them.  But hey, wasn't it Nixon and Ford that left the SVN and the Montagnards high and dry in 1974-75?  And Kissinger also left the Kurds to twist in the wind in 1975?  And Reagan (prudently and belatedly) left Beirut to its own devices in 1984?

Yeah, whadda you going to do, Drew?  Send a Navy task force with a Marine amphibious brigade into the Black Sea?  Fly USAF missions into Georgia?  Give me a fucking break. 

Yeah, lets start a war with Russia over Ossetia, good idea.  Maybe having to worry about those SS-18s with their multiple 400KT warheads again will teach Americans what a real existential threat is and stop all the girlish hysteria about a few fools in Iran and Arabia.

You're making a lawyer's argument - NATO and the UN gave Kosovo all the trappings of a "state."  Anyways, who cares whether South Ossetia is a "state," or an irredentist region wishing to join with North Ossetia in Russia?  It appears that South Ossetia does not want to be part of Georgia, that's what the fight is about. 

The Russians did not bomb Georgia out of South Ossetia or Abkhazia at all. You obviously have no idea what you're talking about. Crawl back under your rock, please.

Why use the past tense?  What are the Russians doing NOW?  Looks like they're bombing Georgia out of South Ossetia to me.

If the west does nothing as you describe (and that may be the case), then you can almost be assured that Russia will know without a doubt that the west has no honor or resolve in coming to the defense and aid of their allies.  They will then be emboldened to do far more and far worse.  Moreover, China will also take note of the same and make a move on Taiwan.  You can take that to the bank.

Because, of course, all of us here have detailed insight into the US military's ability to launch a proper defensive action in the Caucasus, and we'd further be willing to wargame fully realistic scenarios in public. /sarc

What we do know is that Georgia has been an ally to us, and fought beside us for our causes.  By virtue of that, Russia murdering their civilians and bombing their infrastructure must not pass without reprisal.  Do I know what form it will take?  No.  Do I know we have a strong strategic interest in keeping Georgia as an ally?

Icus, you draw parallels between Kosovo and Osseita, but the main difference is that the West interviened in Kosovo to stop genocide.

Repeat, to stop genocide.

Repeat. To stop. Fucking. Genocide.

In fact, the Russians, to play off useful idiots like you, have launched propoganda in places like state owned Pravda, here I quote their propoganda:

<i>"Relating what has become common practice among war criminals, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov reported: "A Russian humanitarian convoy has come under fire. Panic is growing among the local population, and the number of refugees is increasing. There are reports of ethnic cleansing in some villages... The situation is ripe for a humanitarian catastrophe."</i>

The Russians threw that in intentionally with their other lies to play the "it's just the same as Kosovo" card, and you fell for it.

<i>"Georgia's going to get punished and then this will, or should, go into the Security Council"</i>

You Taint! Russia has veto power on the Security Council. Please don't throw the Russians into the briar patch.

And BTW, Georgia is being punished for being a fledgling democracy embracing Western (aka classically liberal) values way too much for Putin's liking.

That you enjoy this and defend this makes you something I do not have a word for. 'Unworthy' is the closest I can get.

60 My life would be complete if at one point during the upcoming Presidential debates, McCain would just turn and look at Obama and call him a "goddamn pussy".

Posted by: slick at August 10, 2008 01:47 AM (OjNK+)

61 Full new, revised statement from Obama is here. As Drew says, he really is cribbing from McCain.

He correctly identifies Russia as the aggressor, just like McCain did and unlike his earlier statement.

He says that the US, EU, and NATO must send diplomats...which they've already done. How convenient. (And McCain mentioned that they'd already done it, which again makes Obama look like he's just trying to keep up with the Joneses.)

He says that an international peacekeeping force must be allowed into the region--one that excludes Russia--just like McCain did and unlike his earlier mealy-mouthed statement.

He is an empty suit. He is only playing president. Without a script he defaults to noncommittal leftist tropes: UN resolutions, no one's to blame, let's all hold hands.

64 Putin's play is to take Georgia.

He's exploiting the Violence Gap. Violent men and societies are willing to deal out more violence than we in the West can respond with.

Of course that will be repeated later, with other nations. Since Europe is disarmed and has a paper military about the status of the Shriners.

I blogged about that <a href="http://whiskeys-place.blogspot.com/2008/08/russias-war-on-georgia-its-not-cold-war.html">HERE</a>.

Bottom line: Putin needs to conquer other places and keep oil at $145 a barrel or higher just to pay off his patronage network. Georgia is just a start. Other nations will be targets and will be sending money, resources to Moscow (a reverse of what happened in the Cold War). Putin may not be goose-stepping to Dunkirk, but he's got the only real military in Europe, and he is using it to make examples, and restore bit by bit the Russian Empire.

67 Funny for all the tough talk, nobody can come up with anything the US can actually do militarily.

Yeah, that's funny.  You know what else might be funny?  An examination of when people like you have ever thought U.S. military intervention might be warranted. 

You know what else was funny?  The Prague SpringThe Tianamen Square protests were also hilarious.

We didn't have military responses to those incidents, either, but I'm quite sure you would have demanded intervention in those crises, too.

You can tell the first statement was the real Obama by the phrase "Now is the time." So far that magical mantra has brought down the Berlin wall, stopped the rising seas and built bridges all over the place. If He says, "Now is the time for Georgia and Russia to show restraint," you can bet your bottom dollar that they will. Especially Georgia. OK, only Georgia.

69 Yeah, Purple Avenger, and a pair of Los Angeles class subs could put the entire Black Sea fleet on the bottom in 4 hours or so.

US submariners referred to the Russian surface fleet in the 80's as "a target rich environment." I doubt that's changed.

70 For Icus:
It really isn't about what the US can do militarily in this situation. It is about the reactions of the 2 candidates. McCain says it like it is: Obama pontificates in a muddle of moral equivalency. Wouldn't do to be judgmental, you know. Same mindset as after 9-11 - "what did we do to deserve this?"
He is a fool and so is anyone who would vote for him.

75 The first statement was the Obama 'generic condemnation of violence in the World' template, unedited. It could have applied to any conflict, right down to the neighborhhod kids in fisticuffs on the schoolyard.

The second is indeed after someone explained to him that is was not Georgia, the state, and found the right chapter in Cliff Notes for the 'Foreign Policy for Dummies' book for him.

124 Factors Replica Watches About The Rolex replica watches Oyster The Oyster is so closely get in touch with Rolex, and it is inevitably that some people think these are the only Replica watches Rolex manufacture. Others suppose that there is a single Oyster watch. But as a matter of fact, the name Oyster does not actually meant for a rolex Watches particular watch you can buy rolex watches or even to a series but to a type of case that available in some of the Rolex ranges. History The Oyster case was first released in 1926. The objective was to protect the workings of the watch from dust and moisture. Early watches were far from waterproof. The Oyster tag heuer Watchescase was an tag heuer watches innovative design to eliminate these problems. It had a new double locking crown that screwed into place. It has been compared to the hatch on a submarine. Like a submarine, the Oyster case was waterproof. In 1927 Mercedes Gleitze swam the English breitling Watches Channel breitling watches . Before she set off she was presented with a Rolex Oyster. When she arrived, the watch was still working perfectly. The resulting publicity gave the new case a massive boost. Why is it called Oyster? Legend has it that Hans cartier Watches Wilsdorf cartier watches, who invented the Oyster, chose the name because the new case reminded him of the difficulty he had experienced prising open oysters at dinner.
