"As much as I hate to say it, I know beyond a doubt that the next weeks are going to be nasty. He’s leading, and there are people who simply cannot stomach the idea of his beautiful family living in the White House. There will be smears, all sorts of slander and lies, the likes of which you’ve probably rarely seen. So y’all, we got to pray for this man. And please . . . make sure you VOTE!"

In a Security Council meeting on August 10th, Zelmay Khalilzad, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, questioned Russia's objectives in expanding aggression beyond the South Ossetia region. He referred to a confidential call between Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov's and U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, in which Lavrov had said that the elected president of Georgia "must go."
Khalilzad said,
It's completely unacceptable and crossed the line. Was Russia's objective [a] regime change in Georgia, the overthrow of the democratically elected Government of that country?
Russia's Ambassador Churkin's response was short, clear and brutally naked:
"'Regime change' was an American expression that Russia did not use."
It is inevitable that when you break the rules of international behavior, your words and deeds will come back to haunt you.
It's one thing to call "Wolf! Wolf!" when there is no wolf. But we are now finding out what it's like to call "Wolf! Wolf" when we have spent all of this short century acting like the wolf. We're caught pleading whining about the Russian bear. We are walking loudly and carrying a small stick. Actually all Condi Rice has in Tbilisi is Bush's dick in her hands.
