My favourite bit of recent jaw-dropping hypocrisy was this little gem.
John McCain decounced the Russia/Georgia debacle by asserting that "in the 21st century nations don't invade other nations".
This from a man that backed the invasion of Iraq regardless of whether or not WMDs were present...

ok, so it's a little hypocitical ... but it's not really the same thing is it. Sure, US and UK made up reasons to invalid Iraq. But Sadam *was* in bretch of UN conditions and wasn't exactly running a nice little democracy.

Is it really fair to accuse someone of so little intelligence of being a hypocrite? Lets face it he'd struggle licking a window, let alone seeing the irony in his own comments.

Yes America really didn't do itself any favours with its future efforts at diplomacy when it decided to invade Iraq.
Before then this sort of comment from a US president would have been quite legitimate now the Russians can just look bemused at a negotiating table and cite the Iraq and Afghan wars as examples of the same thing they are doing, defending their citizens from aggresion.
