The REAL John McCain: Less Jobs, More Wars.
Note: "The REAL McCain is a multimillionaire who owns ten luxurious homes. The REAL McCain backs President Bush's tax cuts for big corporations. The REAL McCain empathizes only with the interests of our nation's wealthy minority, not its money-strapped majority. But far too many are buying into McCain's deceit because the corporate press won't present the whole picture, so we created this video to educate the public about the REAL McCain.

Political Radar: Campaign Surrogates Take U.S. Campaign to Georgia
Note: FTP: "It could be important in the campaign for the Obama camp that Biden gets to Georgia first.

Ukraine offers satellite defence co-operation with Europe and US
Note: Ukraine inflamed mounting East-West tensions yesterday by offering up a Soviet-built satellite facility as part of the European missile defence system. Dmitry Medvedev says the country needs a greater post-conflict presence if Russia's to withdraw it's army. ; ttp://link.brightcove.com/services/link/bcpid1488655367/bctid1735704481 http://www.brightcove.com/channel.jsp?channel=1139053637 The proposal, made amid growing outrage among Russia's neighbours over its military campaign in Georgia, could see Ukraine added to Moscow's nuclear hitlist. A Russian general declared Poland a target for its arsenal after Warsaw signed a deal with Washington to host interceptor missiles for America's anti-nuclear shield. The move came as the Russian president, Dmitry Medvedev, signed a cease-fire deal that sets the stage for a Russian troop withdrawal after more than a week of warfare with its neighbour Georgia.
