Just noticed this in WordPress.com fastest growing blogs http://southosetia.wordpress.com/ Do you know the truth of war in South Ossetia? The real people, real histories, real events… The Georgian murderers! Apparent on the scene blogging from those in South Ossetia whose homes have been destroyed, lives shattered, friends and family killed by Georgian troops. From the Russia Today channel on YouTube (some interesting stuff here, news you might not find elsewhere) The situation is escalating in Georgia’s second breakaway republic – Abkhazia. Its troops are on the move towards the security zone in the Gali region close to the border with Georgia. Meanwhile they are continuing a military [...] First, from the comments on Lawyers, Guns, and Money I have this nagging feeling that Rice and Cheney – and by extension, McCain – knew full well that the Georgians were going to get crushed but wished them luck regardless.
