Meanwhile, a cease fire may be in the works as Georgians bury their dead

A sign posted in the breakaway province of Ossetia proclaims “Putin is our President!”
The Georgian National Anthem

Enlightened land of plains and mounts,
Blessed by God and holy heaven.The freedom path we’ve learnt to follow
Makes our future spirits stronger,
The morning star will rise above us
And lighten up the land between the two seas.Glory to long-cherished freedom,
Glory liberty!

Need more proof that Obama and his supporters are a bit too full of themselves? Here’s the statement of Virginia Governor Tim Kaine, a hopeful in the Obama veepstakes:
“It was a bad crisis for the world. It required tough words but also a smart approach to call on the international community to step in. And I’m very, very happy that the Senator’s request for a ceasefire has been complied with by President Medvedev.” — Tim Kaine, August 12, 2008

Obama Campaign Completely Confused Over Russian Invasion of Georgia
This is not a joke. Within hours of a cease-fire having been declared in Georgia, Democrats raced to get on TV and claim that Senator Obama was the one person responsible for peace because he had asked for it (apparently similar calls from President Bush, Senator McCain, France, Germany, the EU and the UN were all sideshows-what mattered was what The One said).
THEN-when it came out that the Russians never really stopped their invasion, but merely paused to consolidate positions and logistics-Obama’s foreign policy advisor used her MSNBC propaganda outlet to claim that Senator McCain was responsible for fighting in Georgia.
Meanwhile, the DNC’s platform echoes the Bush Administration almost identically, and faux-anti-war groups are showing their true colors by blaming Georgia for the invasion of Georgia rather than the invader: Russia.

VIDEO: Obama’s mind tricks were spoiled by Senator John McCain and his apparent ignorance of how wars are fought (btw, Susan Rice is THE PERSON who repeatedly led the fight against taking custody of Osama Bin Laden when Sudan offered him up in the 1990′s, and she did so because she believed a policy of not talking to state-sponsors of terror was a sound one for the Clinton Admin).
