Georgia vs RussiaAug 30th, 2008 - 22:21:39

Its about time the EU Union researched the facts about the war between Georgia and Russia.

Russia did not starte the genocide.
We can fault the Georgia government for the attrocities and genocide against the Ossetia peaceful people.

Russia only responded to the invasion and the crimes commited against the Ossetia people.

The western media along with the united states has been misleading, and lying to the world.

Something VERY FISHY about Georgias offensive into Ocetia. The U.S. and Israelis were 'training' their army. Also the defence minister is an ex-Israeli....... Gotta wonder what they were thinkin!!- Smokin??

The US and Israel had hundreds of military and civilian contractors training the Georgian army.

It takes time to mobilize an army and logistics are an enormous part of any military endeavour. It doesn't come together overnight.

That is, it was impossible that the US did not know about the invasion of South Ossetia before the event.

Then it is reasonable to assume that the people who trained the Georgian military taught them the tactics used in the invasion - massive bombardment of civilians - shock and awe - if you can't use it yourself, deny it to the enemy - etc, etc, ad nauseam.

Both the US an Israel must have known what was brewing. They look ridiculous now, so why did they allow Saakashvili to go along with it? Its meaningless, unless...
Did they spring the 'October surprise' in August this time?

I am wondering how deeply the Western Media will bury this story.

The celebrations of the Abkazians, finally granted their independence, fireworks to rival Beijing 2008, dancing in the streets, these scenes of a country full of grinning, joyous people, it was also censored in the US. Abkazia is finally free, after decades under the yoke of the Soviet Union, and then under the yoke of Georgia, and whether anyone in the US knows or cares.

But the US wants to force these people back under the rule of a despot, into a country, Georgia, with a different culture, a totally different language, and with whom they have fought several wars. Good luck with that.

The US makes a mistake continuing to support Mad Mikhail Shaakashvili. The guy doesn't know truth from fiction, he is, as we say in the US, two cans short of a six-pack.

So the US was seeking to expel Russia from the OSCE.

Why?

Well, maybe they were thinking that the OSCE would support Georgia's dictator's version of events, and if Russia was no longer a member, then they would have no voice and the madman from Tbilisi would carry the day in the media.

Finally the American politically correct stormtroopers got into the embarassing situation of having their lies in the media exposed. They lied about Yugoslavia about the 'bad' Serbs 'oppressing' to 'good' Bosnian Muslims and Albanians, friends of the KLA and Al Qaida, they lied about the 'bad' Russians oppresing the 'good' Chechen rebels, likewise, friends of Al aida and bin Laden, they lied about 'weapons of mass destruction' and 'ties to Al Qaida' in Iraq, and now they tried to lie about this situation and to portray the aggressor, politically correct functionary Saakashvili, as the 'victim'. Their own lies and treachery is going against them.

The attack on S.Ossetia reminded me of a simillar atack on civilians in Iraq! In the night, bombing and killing civilian population!
It's been well prepared and supported by US and Israeli advisers and they have even supplied their latest weapons!!!,
