Beginning from most popular puppet to least popular puppet:

Barack Obama says:
'I want to just speak briefly about the situation in Georgia. It’s a situation that continues to deteriorate because of Russia’s escalation of
the use of military force. At this point I have spoken to President Saakashvili
(What about the president of South Ossetia, Eduard Kokoyty?),
and conveyed my deep regret over the loss of life, and the suffering of the people of Georgia
(What about South Ossetia where 2000-3000 people
died?)....
Russian actions in clear violation of international law (Actually, Georgians or NATO fired the first shots and bombed first.) have no place in 21st
century Europe....Prime Minister Putin must understand the severe long-term negative consequences that their government’s actions will have for
Russia’s relationship with the United States and Europe....No matter how this conflict started, Russia has escalated it well beyond the dispute over
South Ossetia and has now violated the space of another country. Russia has escalated its military campaign through strategic bombing and the movement
of its ground forces into the heart of Georgia. There is no possible justification for these attacks....It only adds to the tragedy and outrage of the
current situation that Russia has acted while the world has come together in peace and athletic competition in Beijing.'
John McCain says: “Americans wishing to spend August vacationing with their families or watching the Olympics may wonder why
their newspapers and television screens are filled with images of war in the small country of Georgia. Concerns about what occurs there might seem
distant and unrelated to the many other interests America has around the world...And yet Russian aggression against Georgia is both a matter of urgent
moral and strategic importance to the United States of America.
(Gee golly gumdrops, here we go again on forgetting that thousands of South
Ossetians lost their lives, families, hopes, dreams.)
That makes Russia’s recent actions against the Georgians all the more alarming. In the face of Russian aggression, the very existence of independent
Georgia and the survival of its democratically elected government are at stake. In recent days Moscow has sent its tanks and troops across the
internationally recognized border into the Georgian region of South Ossetia.
(And why did they have to do that, McCain?)
Whatever tensions and hostilities might have existed between Georgians and Ossetians, they in no way justify Moscow’s path of violent aggression.
Russian actions in clear violation of international law have no place in 21st century Europe.
(McCain apparently believes Georgia's bombardment in
South Ossetia was blessed by international law)
Russia is using violence against Georgia in part to intimidate other neighbors such as Ukraine for choosing to associate with the west and adhering to
Western political and economic values.
(A total and utter puppet comment- Another way of saying it is here: 'Georgia is using violence against
South Ossetia in part to intimidate other neighbors such as Abkhazia for choosing to associate with the East and adhering to Eastern political and
economic values.') and McCain has this final blurb of wisdom: 'World history is often made in remote, obscure countries. It is being made in
Georgia today.'
Indeed.
