- bbwolf7, on 08/12/2008, -0/+31FTA: Saakashvili has been working closely with the Bush administration ever since he replaced Eduard Shevardnadze as president in 2003. That's when US-backed NGOs and western intelligence agencies toppled the Shevardnadze regime in the so-called color-coded "Rose Revolution". Since then, Saakashvili has done everything that's been asked of him; he's built up the military and internal security apparatus, he's allowed US advisers to train and arm Georgian troops, he's applied for membership in NATO, and he's been a general nuisance to his Russian neighbors. Now, he has sent his army into battle ostensibly on Washington's orders. At least, that is how the Kremlin sees it. Vladimir Vasilyev, the Chairman of Russia's State Duma Security Committee, summed up the feelings of many Russians like this: "The further the situation unfolds, the more the world will understand that Georgia would never be able to do all this without America. In essence, the Americans have prepared the force, which destroys everything in South Ossetia, attacks civilians and hospitals."
True. That's why Bush is flying Georgian troops back home from Iraq to join the fighting rather than pursuing peaceful alternatives. Bush still believes that political solutions will naturally arise through the use of force. Unfortunately, his record is rather spotty. - inactive, on 08/12/2008, -0/+29Don't forget that Israel also is heavily involved. The Georgian Minister of Defense is an Israeli. There are Israeli advisers in Georgia that took part in the invasion.

Heck, if I didn't know that our government doesn't give two figs for the citizenry, liberty, democracy, or anything but corporate kickbacks, *I'd* be starting to hate Americans. Luckily, most folk abroad seem to know that by now.
- americangoy, on 08/12/2008, -0/+17Good post!
Exactly - there were something like 15,000 US "Advisors" in Georgia, and who knows how many Israelis.
And yet officially they knew nothing, heard nothing, seen nothing about the upcoming massive invasion of Georgia against Ossetia.
Give me a break! - GovernmentSp00k, on 08/13/2008, -0/+17If there is money to be made from war, Dick Cheney will come out of hibernation to threaten countries to condition US consumers of their new enemy while the military industrial complex gears up for deportation faster than you can say false flag.
- inactive, on 08/13/2008, -0/+16It's all about the oil pipeline from Baku through Georgia, that then curves southward into Turkey. I understand this is Israel's Caspian Sea oil plunder, South Ossetia's border is about 60 miles from this pipeline. Better believe your Richard Perles, Dennis Rosses, your Douglas Feiths, your Michael Chertoffs and especially your Joe Liebermans are all over this.
- inactive, on 08/13/2008, -0/+15I really fail to see why this would surprise anyone. I guess there are too many people out there still listening to corporate media or living in thier illusionary world.
- Kiloboba, on 08/12/2008, -1/+14Dugg cause I learned this over the weekend. US and EU mercenaries aided the raid that killed 1500 russian civilians.
Seems like another EU/USA/Israeli False Flag op. - motivatedmama, on 08/12/2008, -0/+12 "That's why Bush is flying Georgian troops back home from Iraq to join the fighting rather than pursuing peaceful alternatives"
And the Russians have called him on that too.
Bush, McCain, Cheney. Down this road madness lies. - inactive, on 08/13/2008, -2/+12Would you care to comment on the article?
- caif, on 08/13/2008, -0/+9We need a full investigation on our complicity and our actions in Georgia in the months prior to the Russian retaliation.
- yonoz, on 08/12/2008, -1/+11Dugg for "petty neocon touch"!

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2003/nov/02/20 ... - inactive, on 08/13/2008, -0/+7We need a full investigation of "the neocons" not "us" ... but I think that's what you meant! :-)
- Jimmyb207, on 08/13/2008, -0/+6It is no surprise that those morally rotted neocons and Israel are lurking within the shadows of Georgia and South Ossetia. It is no surprise that oil is involved. It is no surprise that thousand and thousands of innocent lives will come to a violent end as a means of neocon arm twisting It is no surprise that the American Corporate News Media is performing a goosestep march alongside the Bush regime that would make Hitler proud. The U.S. Corporate news says it's all "naked Russian aggression....LIARS!! The neocons say the Russians are invading a sovereign nation, killing civilians by the thousands and are breaking international law ..LIARS AND MURDERING HYPOCRITES !! It is getting to the point where I can no longer fathom the evil that is being perpetrated by this U.S. government! The world isn't going to put up with this ...America is going to pay for the pain and suffering that Bush/Cheney has brought onto the world. Starting with 9-11, they have made the world a dark place.
The last paragraph of the article should have every American standing on edge. The Russian government is wildly furious at the Bush Regimes brutal immoral stupidity and greed. Rightfully so. I'm still finding it so hard to believe that our American government is now coercing countries that they think they own into committing the atrocities for them. Then they sit back and pretend to be innocent....what pathetic pieces of *****. - panicbombs, on 08/13/2008, -0/+6I thought this was all Russia's fault? How dare they try to protect their border without consulting the US. :)
- stormkrow, on 08/13/2008, -0/+6We were talking about this on another thread. It's all about that wonderful Caspian Oil Pipeline Expansion. Everything the Neo-Cons do is about OIL and GREED. There is no difference here. The Caspian Oil Story in full; draw your own conclusions in their current context.

FYI: Georgia attacked Ossetia & Russia defended them, despite what US media says.
- inactive, on 08/13/2008, -0/+3True, but it's about controlling the output rather than increasing it.
- inactive, on 08/13/2008, -0/+3right with you Jimmy
- inactive, on 08/13/2008, -0/+2Neocons, israel, and the oligarchs are lurking around georgia, not south ossetia.
By the way, bush just said on C-span that he's sending in the troops and the navy into georgia on a "humanitarian mission." The neos are going to get their grand chessboard fantasy after all. - onyxcoltrane, on 08/13/2008, -0/+2and the antrhax investigation...
- gox35, on 08/15/2008, -0/+1The BBC has barely mentioned what has happened in South Ossetia but has much coverage of the fighting in Georgia as if the Russians were the first to invade. Mind you, Bush says they were so Britain must always agree with what the US says.
- Bastet62, on 08/14/2008, -0/+1This is all very, very ominous - made even more frightening by the utter incompetence of the Bushies and how they handle just about everything they touch. This could get ugly, in the worst way. I don't think a "protest" is going to stop this. If the impeachment movement had been able to have impeachment hearings long ago this could have all been avoided.
It's too obvious that Bush et al have had their dirty little hands all over this and the media is doing a really lousy job of informing people about what's going on here. - nick1971, on 08/13/2008, -0/+1Just to clarify.
The EU is a democracy not a corporatocracy. Just because mercenaries come from the EU does not mean that the EU has been involved in any foreign policy decisions. - rossini22, on 08/28/2008, -0/+1US-backed NGOs ? Who would have ever guessed?! Of course the NGOs are at the heart of the matter. US-backed NGOs in particular. Corporate interest. Caspian Sea.....as mentioned above. Old info but needs to be told again. Caspian Sea, natural gas and oil and getting it from that area to other places. That explains 9/11 (in part), Iraq, Afghanistan and then Iran. But then comes Georgia. What a surprise! Caught me off guard. ;-) Too many lies on the waves these days. Glad we're here policing (duh?).
