Will this change voter's views?

How will each new President react to Russia's attack in Georgia?

John McCain said that “Tensions and hostilities between Georgians and Ossetians are in no way justification for Russian troops crossing an internationally recognized border.” McCain also called on “Russia to immediately and unconditionally withdraw its forces from the territory of Georgia.” ...

For his part, Barack Obama called for “talks among all sides and said the United States, the U.N. Security Council and other parties should try to help bring about a peaceful resolution.” Obama looked forward to “an international peacekeeping force” under “an appropriate UN mandate.” ...

To recap: John McCain forthrightly condemns Russia’s behavior and demands that Russia withdraw unconditionally. Obama wants to turn the mess over to the UN.

I've linked to Andrew Bolt's page because he has a concise summary with links.

God help the US if Obama gets in.

Sen McCain is a former Naval Aviator, which is similar to, but not quite, military.

Cheers

As opposed to the other candidate who is a navel gazer.

Which isn't related to the military at all.
