"I've expressed my grave concern about the disproportionate response of Russia and that we strongly condemn the bombing outside of South Ossetia," Bush told NBC Sports.
Putin criticized the United States for viewing Georgia as the victim, instead of the aggressor, and for airlifting Georgian troops back home from Iraq on Sunday.
"Of course, Saddam Hussein ought to have been hanged for destroying several Shiite villages," Putin said in Moscow. "And the incumbent Georgian leaders who razed ten Ossetian villages at once, who ran elderly people and children with tanks, who burned civilian alive in their sheds — these leaders must be taken under protection."
The Georgian president, Saakashvili, voiced concern that Russia's true goal was to undermine his pro-Western government, which has sharply angered Moscow by wanting to join NATO. "It's all about the independence and democracy of Georgia," he said during a conference call.
What do you guys think? Does this make Bush a hypocrite?

No!!
Many of you are all tied up in the Bush bashing that can't see what is going on. If this battle grows and it could it may involve most of eastern Europe. Which would bring NATO in to play and if that happens we are in play. Open your eyes and clear your hate, your bias is dominating you!!!View thread

On a side note, he seemed to forget a few things Obama did over the last 20 years... like graduating Magna Cum Laude from Harvard, graduated from Columbia where he majored in political science with a specialization in international relations, ran the DCP (large church community group in Chicago), etc... McCain graduated at the bottom of his class at the Naval Academy.
That video is nothing more than a right wing nut case, flashy graphics and sounds included!, talking about scaring white people about race. Talking about his minister (old news, Obama has clearly stated his views on the matter several times) is silly at best. But, leave it to Fox'News' to breed fear to get better ratings from like minded people! It's their job. Murdoch went to court to explain that he is not obligated to inform. For once, I agree with him.
If you think that scaring white people is not part of the right wing agenda, then I only have to look at your posts to find this truth.
Good luck with that...
So did Fidel Castro, you do know Castro went to Harvard?
Again not fox news but CNN !!!!
I am not a right winger.
Do you know what Black Liberation Theology is?
Do some research and know your facts; there are enough "IDIOTS" in Washington DC.
