"This is a time for wise, steady, and firm leadership," Hagel told the Senate Armed Services Committee.

Yes, we don't want to set a new precedent of having a weak President allowing Russia to gobble up an old Soviet State. You know, like when Russia invaded Georgia and George Bush kicked them out. Oh, wait. Russia troops are still in Georgia.

I guess a clear precedent was set by George and Putin is acting based on that precedent.

[johnforbes]

If anybody wants to view that as precedent, it is a poor one, eh?

Palin said in 2008 that Putin might invade Ukraine, and her remark was greeted with claims that she was stupid.

Obama mocked Romney for saying in 2012 that Russia was a huge geopolitical threat.

But Obama was entirely wrong.

Romney was right, and even a busy Alaskan housewife knew more than Obama.

Conservatives sat around and did nothing as the Russian army invaded Georgia.

I suppose they knew it would happen all along................................................................................

I see the wittle wannabe faux proves his bias and idiocy as always. Do you have anything more than your pretentious
irrational bigotries wittle wannabe faux? Oh, obviously not.

[johnforbes]

Of course, the bias and idiocy belonged to the smug Obama and the smug folks on the Left who assumed Palin and Romney knew nothing about foreign policy.

But Palin and Romney were correct.

Even the dependably liberal Washington Post just called Obama's foreign policy so deeply mistaken that it reposed on "fantasy."

[RealJustme]

Hagel was hand picked by Obama because he has a weak spine and an even weaker mind, but yet Hagel has enough left in him to slam Obama as the wrong person for the job. Hillary is making plans for 2016 and she's smart enough to know she also needs to distance herself from Obama which she's already started.

[johnforbes]

Certainly true.

Politics aside, Hagel's mind is too weak for that job.

But then Obama has dumbed down many parts of the government, and Obama's terrible poll number reveal more and more Americans are catching on.

[BilboBagend]

These two do stick to there delusional world. Completely out of touch with both facts and reason,

they have an extremely simple view of the world and others. They start with their hatred and prejudices and then twist the fabric of reality to conform to their preformed conclusions. It's always the same story they tell, only the contortions change to fit their delusions.

Wrong.

After Russia invaded Georgia in 2008, the United States sent war ships into the Black Sea, airlifted Georgian military forces from Iraq back to their home bases and sent humanitarian aid. Russia was denied its ultimate goal of overthrowing the democratically elected government, an admission made to me by the Russian foreign minister.

So what does our current administrations do? The President draws a red line, when it's crossed he holds a "soul concert" at the White House, then he goes golfing in Florida with three black muslims and then both he and the VP announce plans to go on vacations "at the same time".

It doesn't get any worse.

Bilbo, who said he has PhD and MBA degrees, doesn't know "there" from "their"
