Jack Cafferty:

“In the 21st century, nations don’t invade other nations.”

“That’s John McCain speaking, part of his tough talk about Russia’s attacks on Georgia. In calling for Russia to get out, McCain says he doesn’t think we’ll reignite the Cold War, but that you can not justify the “extent and degree” of Russia’s intervention in Georgia. The presumptive Republican nominee insists we need to make sure that in the 21st century, we all have respect for the sovereignty and independence of nations.”

“Say what? The United States invaded the sovereign nation of Iraq more than 5 years ago. And YOU, Senator McCain, were all for the idea. You voted for the war, remember? At the time, McCain insisted that the United States needed to act before Saddam Hussein could develop more advanced weapons. And since then, McCain has steadfastly maintained his support of arguably the biggest foreign policy blunder in the history of this country. At one point, McCain said U.S. troops could remain in Iraq, a sovereign nation, for 100 years.”

“When it comes to punishing Russia for its actions, the Arizona Senator says its potential membership in the World Trade Organization should be reviewed along with its membership in the G8. He believes an international peacekeeping mission should be sent to Georgia and that NATO should re-consider adding Georgia and Ukraine to the alliance.”

“Here’s my question to you: Is John McCain hypocritical to condemn Russia for invading Georgia when he voted to invade Iraq?”

Watch the video above to see the answers some viewers submitted.

I think he is a lot more than just hypocritical and I agree with the person who answered Cafferty’s question by saying McCain needs more nap time.
