The Dan Lee Report

At least one highly experienced foreign analyst thinks Russia is acting like a schoolyard bully, but does it go even further & deeper than that? Russia’s foreign minister Serghej Lavrov spewed out an ill-conceived ultimatum Wednesday demanding that the US chooses between Georgia, or Russia, after President Bush warned the Kremlin that “the United States stands with the democratically elected government of Georgia.”

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice countered with, “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.”

Is it me, or do the Russians sound eerily akin to certain islamic terror groups whenever they open their mouths these days? And if they do resemble these groups, why are we negotiating with them?

“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,” Rice said. “Things have changed.”

The analyst in the video below agrees with my early assessments that this was nothing more than a Russian land/power grab.

Oh, on a “side note”.. The U.N. is still figuring out how they can send a bit more than a “stern” letter, since Russia would have to vote for it’s own condemnation as a “member in good standing”..

What a joke…

~Dan Lee

Once again I ask, where is the UN? How many “stern warnings” will they give while innocent people are caught in nothing short of a war for Oil, land & for the purpose of squelching freedom?

Earlier in the week I predicted that Russia had bigger plans than just pushing back a government assault on their allied rebels in South Ossetia. Today we see that what I said is turning out to be true. They are digging in around Georgia, & mockingly honoring a cease fire agreement on their own terms.

Make no mistake, this was a probing test for Russia, to see how fare they could push their luck with the international community, & how much they could take before someone stepped in to stop them.

So what has the US done in response? Not much more than the same kind of empty rebuking that the UN has done. Does President Bush really think that Russia cares what he says? We should load up T’Bilisi with a full fledged fighting force. Now THAT would send a message. This administration needs to remember one thing. Honor is no more with our enemies. They only understand on thing, & that is force.

It’s the least we can do after Georgia sent more troops to Iraq to assist us, than some of out bigger allies have. Show weakness, & Russia will respond like a dog does when you show fear. They will keep getting more & more aggressive.

Right now the message we’re sending to Georgia is, “Hey, we have your back, as long as it doesn’t cost us politically, or involve actually doing anything other than trash talk.”

The wussification of America continues..

~Dan Lee

NO.. No is the answer. NO Americans should be left behind in Georgia, & especially not children. Ashley & Sophia Evans are trapped in war torn Georgia right at this very moment, & were turned back by Russian thugs in uniforms when their grandparents tried to get them out… They are the children of former U.S. Navy soldier Joseph Evans.

Rep. Chris Smith (R) New Jersey is working to get them out, but they are afraid to move them to T’Bilisi for extraction. That is why Navy Seals & a Special Ops teams should go in & escort these children out, en force, “if” the Russians step even one inch towards the town they are in (Chiatura)..

This country should not bow to Russia’s will, & if anyone stands in the way of our removing Americans, there should be a military response, Period. Sound scary? Well it is… But that’s life here on earth. America didn’t become a great nation by letting piss ant communist governments like Russia’s bully us, & we shouldn’t start now. I feel bad for the Russian people who don’t want to be their sycophants..

~Dan Lee

I read this in the news today, & it made me wish I was in charge of the military response to Russia’s unlawful invasion of Georgia:

Abkahzian separatists backed by Russian military might pushed out Georgian troops and even moved into Georgian territory itself, defiantly planted a flag over the Inguri River and laughing that retreating Georgians had received “American training in running away.”

If Reagan were President, this wouldn’t be happening, & there would be sorties of U.S. Bombers & Blackhawks decimating Russian armor as we speak.

Meanwhile the UN (United Nothings) are of course sitting on their asses & waving a stick at Russia saying, “Now you better stop that or else.” OOooh now I bet they’re scared now! Not…

Why is this important to America you may ask? Well it’s important because this is a direct slap at America, & Russia is trying to put more energy pressure on us via a proxy war. Check this story out if you don’t believe it, because it’s essentially working at this time.

If the conflict has still not died down enough for BP to turn the gas pumps in Baku back on, Turkey will need to make up for the lost supplies by turning to Iran.

Turkey may be an ambivalent ally of the US, but they are still an ally. Russia has allied with Iran in recent years. Are you seeing the picture forming here? Basically Russia & it’s rogue nation allies like Iran, don’t want Georgia to be able to provide competitive energy to surrounding nations, & they are sour that we’ve helped them get that energy. This is a two prong assault on both the oil markets, & meant to be an “example” of what happens when you mess with Russia’s energy pimping practices.

It’s serious people. They want us & our allies hooked on their energy sources, & all the while we have people like Nancy Pelosi & her Democrat cronies trying to keep us from getting our own. She issues a house statement to condemn the “Russian intimidation”. Big deal! If there weren’t pansy nut cases like her to make sure we can’t get at our own energy, there would have been no incentive for Russia to act this way in the first place! How long until we’re speaking Russian under those conditions? Not long.. You can’t fight a defensive war without oil my friends. It’s never been done, & never will be. Thanks to environmental lunatics & extremist Democrats like Reid, Pelosi, Stoyer, ect. we don’t have the capability to run tanks & war planes on nuclear power either. We wont have much luck attaching windmills to M1 Abrams tanks either. So that leads us back to the oil that the white flagger Democrats hate so much doesn’t it…

I hope my fellow countrymen/women will understand how serious this move Russia has made really is. It’s not just a little skirmish, & it’s timing was purposeful. The Olympics are a big distraction for the world, & Russia knew it, which makes what they’ve done even more devious. I’m sorry that turning your head away from poll vaulting & swimming to pay attention to this is an inconvenience, but if you don’t, we’re going to have an even greater energy crises than we ever thought possible in this country by next year. Russia cannot be allowed to try & influence the energy market through brute force. It simple cannot be tolerated under any circumstances.

Additionally, when we asked Georgia to send troops to Iraq, they did. Not only that, they sent more than some larger nations did. Now, we owe them to at least keep Russia out of their country, even if that means sending troops there. Russia has no soul, & clearly didn’t mind bombing civilians, yet the left in this country is almost completely silent. There are no “Putin lied, & people died” banners being held up in the streets of America. That’s because leftists have always lined up with communism. They simply don’t care, because quite frankly many of these globalists wouldn’t mind being Russia’s or any other commie country’s “bitches”. The left in this country has no soul either, so that would be right down their alley. I hope that good people in the US wake up soon, because this seemingly “small conflict” has farther reaching consequences than most people are realizing right now.

Here’s where you can contact you Congressman to express concern.

Russian military that is supposed to be withdrawing can be seen on the following video making deeper incursions toward Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia.

This is an update to this story last week about a mother who died in a car crash, & then had her wedding rings stolen from her at the Hospital.

ATLANTA — A social worker accused of stealing wedding and engagement rings from a woman who died at Grady Memorial Hospital surrendered to police Thursday.

Tacoma Jawara, 54, was charged with stealing the rings that belonged to 35-year-old Katherine Armstrong who died in the emergency room after a crash on I-85 near Flat Shoals Road.
Full Story Here

At the first link I gave you above, there’s info to contact the hospital where this occured. Please take the time to thank them for doing their part in the investigation.

To the Armstrong family: We at the Dan Lee Report are very sorry for your loss, & our thoughts & prayers are certainly with you. Please know that you are never alone, & We sincerely hope that the arrest will lead to the property that was stolen from you.

A local father, already mourning the loss of his 35-year-old wife, is now dealing with the fact his wife’s engagement and wedding rings were lost at the hospital. Full Story Here

You know, if this isn’t the kind of story that makes you want to put your fist through your laptop/computer or TV? I don’t know what would be… It’s not bad enough her 1 year old child will only have pictures to remember her by, but then they lose her wedding rings?

Doesn’t the family of an accident victim have enough pain & grief to deal with, without this kind of negligence or larceny being perpetrated against them?

The hospital should launch a full fledged investigation of it’s own, as well as whatever the police do. I understand accidental loss of property happens, but I have a funny gut feeling there’s maybe more to this than that. In any case, the Hospital should spend as much money as needed to find out. Not because It’s necessarily their fault, but just because it’s the right thing to do in this case.

Here is a contact number for the hospital to let them know how YOU feel. Please be courteous, & keep in mind that they have at least promised her husband a thorough investigation:
