Obama: U.S. = Russia

Obama is finally letting us know his real beliefs. He creates a moral equivalence between Russia's invasion of Georgia and the U.S.'s liberation of Iraq.

Apart from having very different objectives, there are too many differences to even take this thought seriously. Plus, I don't seem to recall Russia spending 9 months trying to convince the U.N. to pass a resolution allowing them to do so or having a democratic debate discussing the pros and cons of such a move. (Nor for that matter did I see any Russian demonstrators in Red Square screaming "No blood for oil.") Perhaps Obama doesn't realize all this.
