While the American 'media' - including TP - imply that Russia is the aggressor, we all know that it was in fact Georgia that began military operations when they started dropping bombs. The only surprise about this entire mess is how badly Georgia's President Saakashvil underestimated Russian response to his aggression. That American incompetents - a.k.a. 'American officials' - "don't understand" what the Russians are doing is only par for the course.

On a side note, if Georgia HAD become a member of NATO - like Chimp demanded - then we'd all be at war with Russia right now. Sweet.

God Bless America.

News I have is Americans were the ones who killed the Russians on Georgian soil, while Bush and Putin were talking in China. International news is blaming America, but that's ok because Canada is going to save us by joining the North American Union.

Where would that news be, una?

It was on www.antiwar.com I posted a few links yesterday. Antiwar.com is like Drudge Report except it offers headlines from around the world about the wars going on, and it usually has one great war photo (national geographic kind of photography) and it has antiwar articles from the right and left..I go there everyday to read about the wars.. Also they have a list of the names of all troops passed away and an injured troop list. I think it's popular with troops and why Ron Paul did so well with troops in donations. I was going to put a link to the story, and I have tried again, but the site will not open. Appears something is wrong with the website.

Antiwar is back up the link is removed... so I will say this.. Georgia has troops in Iraq, which Bush is releasing so they can go home to fight... that might help you connect the dots.

sure, Unamuno, we get it. that link was all in your mind.

Nike, the reason Georgia attacked Ossetia was because the separatists in that province were launching cross border raids into Georgia, probably under the protection of the Russian peacekeepers stationed in Ossetia. I found it suspicious that Russia was able to launch such a well armed and well organized attack so soon after the Georgians launched their punitive strikes. I think Georgia was set up and the separatists were acting under russian orders to launch those cross border attacks on Georgia. I think we are seeing the last of a free Georgia. I think if the russians succeed with this, other currently independent countries that were once part of the soviet bloc will start to feel the same pressure that Georgia has been feeling.

Georgia has been infiltrating Florida for years, it has just been a matter of time before they attacked. The FL "Coon Ass Militia" will quickly defeat the invaders.
