“Well, obviously it’s beyond our control. The Russians are advancing. There is nothing that will stop them. We are not going to go to war over it.” — Charles Krauthammer
“There’s really no danger the United States or Europe will get in involved in what is really a civil war.” — Jeff Birnbaum 
“We simply don’t have the ground forces to do it. And confronting the Russians in the air would lead to major hostilities that the USA cannot afford right now.” — Bill O’Reilly
Not one blamed the President for the invasion or implied that Putin did this because the President was “weak.”
Oh, wait! My bad! Sorry, these are quotes from Fox News after Putin invaded Georgia when George W. Bush was President. You remember Bush, who said that he looked into Putin’s soul and saw a good man.
I don’t really have to post what these exact same people are saying about Obama now, do I? I mean, it’s so predictable, you could write it yourself.
Birnbaum was wrong about “basically a civil war” the first time, too. But it’s not just Obama (altho it’s predominantly Obama) who’s taking their ire: anti-interventionist Senator Paul (R-KY) is being called an “isolationist” for not wanting to get us into a quagmire that is absolutely none of our business.

Well, that’s a different topic. My point in this post was merely to point out the hypocrisy, not try to offer any solutions as to how to deal with this huge foreign policy problem.
