John McCain never actually said the UN should pass resolutions against Russia.  He said the UN should draft up a bunch of resolutions against Russia, that Russia would then veto to embaress Russia on the world stage.

Which is quite similar.  Though somewhat different as one gives you the idea he knows how the UN works.

John McCain knows that said resolution won't pass but thinks it's a good idea for political gain... vs Obama who thinks the UN can actually get something done.

I doubt that very much. There was nothing to stop the Russian agression against Georgia. However, both wanted to appear statesmanlike and "on the situation" without actually doing anything, because they can't. In the end, it didn't matter, did it as they weren't involve in the situation.

Did you real the article?  McCain says we should go through with the resolution despite Russian veto threats.

In otherwords... knowing they were going to veto it.

 

Everybody knows that Russia would veto anything brought up against them. That's not some secret UN inside information, man. Both of them, Obama and McCain, as they were running for President call for UN resolutions as they wanted to appear Presidential, stay on top of the situation, but both knew there was nothing to be done to stop the Russian agression. What you're doing is opinionating (like I am, I admit) that Obama is this naive guy who lives in a world of puppies and sunshines while McCain was hatching a plan to embarass Russia. The Georgia conflict came up in the campaign and they both said their piece. Have we heard anything about Georgia, anymore? The news has already passed both are now talking about the economy saying whatever they have to say.
