With What Army, McCain?

John McCain couldn't pass up a chance to "talk tough" about how he wouldn't put up with Russia's invasion of Georgia. That's all well and good, but as is responded to on many a playground, poker table, and workplace when one guy talks tough and the other guy calls the bluff, "With what army?" Sometimes it shows wisdom to have the discretion to pick your battles. If McCain had been running the country we'd have had surges just like the Bush white house has done, just earlier (read that as soldiers even more tired) who would be unable to back up McCain's rhetoric.

Not even Viagra can help McCain or the impotent Bush administration address this issue. It just frustrates me that if the neocons hadn't tried to rule the world, overestimated the capabilities of the armed forces, and used force for the correct reason at the correct time, Russia wouldn't have the opportunity to even pull this mess. Not because we would pound them into the ground, but because we could. Or at least have the assets to coordinate sending U.N. troops from a horde of countries pretty quickly to at least be on the ground in a peacekeeping role.
