Georgia attacks Russia.....Front row seats to WWIII

^^WHERE IS OBAMA AT? HURRY UP

god, so funny at the un security council meeting. us rep is like 'russia must know that regime change through force will no longer be acceptable.'

the margot show was amazing (and free!) all around. loved loved loved audrye sessions. does anyone know how to get into their "invite only" show tomorrow night at mercury?

The United States Government is so fucked up. Professional LIARS and the sad part is most US citizens believe them.

Just electing Obama ain't gonna cut it.....We need a REVOLUTION.

For Real.

^^ thanks anonymous. show us the way.

I just have a strange little question and thought I'd put it here because there are less comments on this post...

I went to APW Friday and my friend thought it was awesome that Radiohead played Abdel halim hafez right after their set ended. Does anyone know if they played him after their Saturday set? Maybe Jonny/Thom are really into arabic music right now.

I believe they did on Saturday too. I was telling a friend that it sounded like something you'd hear at a Bar Mitzvah.

2 Skinnee J's at Irving tonight was incredible!

They paid Jack Johnson $1 million to play Sunday's APW show. I'm not joking.

"us rep is like 'russia must know that regime change through force will no longer be acceptable.'"

Say what? The fighting there is over territory*, not to bring about a change of regime.

*I know, that's an oversimplification.

"Georgia attacks Russia"

Actually, from what I've read, it's the other way around.

"Actually, from what I've read, it's the other way around."

then you misread or just cant read.

did anyone go to apw on sunday? how was it? i passed.

Trey should have headlined.

"then you misread or just cant read."

Au contraire:

i wrote to them last night about 20 minutes after that got posted and haven't heard back yet.

has anyone else gotten confirmations that they're on the list?

11:14 - you're real stupid.

Georgia did attack Russia

"Actually, from what I've read, it's the other way around."
^^--You are misinformed my friend

Georgia did attack Russia and were backed by the US though good luck finding that in the controlled american press.

I spoke to someone who lives in the Ukraine this morning and got the real scoop.

got some pics up from the margot show @ music hall, if anybody caaaares:

In an effort to keep a break away republic from breaking away, the Georgians attached the break away republic, not Russia. Russia, then, as siding with the break away Gerogian republic, attacked Georgia. Russia has been trying to provoke the Gerogians for months so they, the Russians, would have an excuse to attack Georgia - which they have now done.

Fuck your friend in the Ukraine. They're probably next on Russia's agenda.

^^^
Fuck my friend in the Ukraine?? You're an IDIOT....

You better pay attention to the US agenda there buddy.....all of this ties into Iraq and oil.

War games were just completed of the coast of Virginia which included the US, UK, Italy, Brazil and a few other countries and now those ships are headed to the middle east.

When the draft happens I'm sure you'll be the first one headed to Canada.

Ben harper's set was soooooo good

While I am not about to choose a side in this war based only on the online news reports I have read, I don't doubt that Vladimir Putin is a very bad man.

Anon 6:30 pm, you've got real shit for brains.

The farther Russia's tanks roll into Georgia, the more the world is beginning to see the reality of Vladimir Putin's Napoleonic ambitions. Having consolidated his authoritarian transition as Prime Minister with a figurehead President, Mr. Putin is now pushing to reassert Russian dominance in Eurasia. Ukraine is in his sights, and even the Baltic states could be threatened if he's allowed to get away with it. The West needs to draw a line at Georgia.

^^Ha! You sound like a neo-con!!

What do you think The Bush administration is doing with Iraq and soon Iran? And that's ok? Why do you think Russia is backing Iran?

Seems you don't have the intelligence to see the big picture.

Dear Anon 9:17am:

The farther United States tanks roll into Iraq and soon Iran, the more the world is beginning to see the reality of the Bush Administration's Napoleonic ambitions. Having consolidated his authoritarian transition as Dictator with a figurehead President, Mr. Bush is now pushing to reassert United States dominance in the middle east. Iran is in his sights, and even the Baltic states could be threatened if he's allowed to get away with it. Russia needs to draw a line.

From Neo-Con Obama:

"I want to just speak briefly about the situation in Georgia. It’s a situation that continues to deteriorate because of Russia’s escalation of the use of military force. At this point I have spoken to President Saakashvili, and conveyed my deep regret over the loss of life, and the suffering of the people of Georgia.

No matter how this conflict started, Russia has escalated it well beyond the dispute over South Ossetia and has now violated the space of another country. Russia has escalated its military campaign through strategic bombing and the movement of its ground forces into the heart of Georgia. There is no possible justification for these attacks.
I reiterate my call for Russia to stop its bombing campaign, to stop flights of Russian aircraft in Georgian airspace, and to withdraw its ground forces from Georgia. The Georgian government has proposed a cease-fire and the Russian government should accept it. There is also an urgent need for humanitarian assistance to reach the people of Georgia, and casualties on both sides."

11:28/11:22: Both complete idiots.
