I just don't see how "blaming everything on war" contradicts to "proceeding with a war already started". When you get into a fight, you can't just pull out of it and say you're done. See
here. Note that Gov. Palin also made similar remarks. That is, both presidential candidates agree that crossing the border may be necessary as a tactical decision.
Now that it is more or less acknowledged that Georgia started the fight in Caucasus region, it's ironic to hear such statements from the very same people who tell Russia that it should not have crossed Georgian border when it responded to the massacre by Georgian troops. That's where hypocrisy is, IMHO...
P.S. I don't support either candidate. None of them professes any change...
