The Bush regime imbeciles don't know when to stop. With the world still rolling in laughter from John McCain's claim that "in the 21st century nations don't invade other nations," the moronic U.S. secretary of state declared: "This is not 1968 and the invasion of Czechoslovakia, where Russia can threaten a neighbor, occupy a capital, overthrow a government and get away with it. Things have changed."

This from Condi Rice, who is "proud" of the Bush regime's invasion of Iraq.

This is not 1968. It is 40 years later, and roles have reversed. In the 21st century, it is the United States that invades countries, occupies capitals, overthrows governments and gets away with it.

The criminal Bush regime has sent out its flunkies to huff and puff because Russia put its foot down against American hegemony on its border. Take your aggression elsewhere, the Russians said. We did not free constituent parts of our empire in order for them to become constituent parts of an American empire.

For years, the Bush regime has been fodder for "The Daily Show." Condi Rice's inane statement will keep the laughter rolling.
