There are no NeoCons in today's state department, thankfully.

He can't. He's the guy everyone, around the globe, demands to get answers from. That's his job, like it or not.

If he does step out of the way, it's the imbeciles you mentioned in the top sentence who will step up and cause WW3. (And, do it deliberately, I suspect.)

This is what we have.

True. How did I miss that? I only picked up "neocons".

I've been reading up on Svoboda.

Also deeply anti-Russian, BTW. a little more than 20% of Crimea is Russian.

Why can't everybody get the picture? Is Fox beating the drums of war? It would be just like them to run to the aid of rightwing Fascists....

Neocons in the State Department? Name one.

As to your other statement, President Obama is the Commander in Chief and John McCain and his pearl clutchin' girlfriend Lindsey Graham are not, so put down the crank pipe and get a grip.

Whatever Obama might do, from going to war for the new Ukranian government to telling Putin we approve of whatever he does, Fox would find it to be totally foolish and wrong.

Hey, Dave!

According to the 2001 census, almost 60% of Crimeans were ethnic Russians. Ukrainians comprise about 24%. Interestingly, 77% of Crimeans claim Russian as their native language.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crimea#Demographics

In Ukraine as a whole, Russians comprise only 17.3% of the total population. Almost everyone else is ethnically Ukrainian.
