The Beleaguered President: High-stakes gambler who risked his country and links with the West

12 August 2008


Mr Saakashvili in recent days has looked like a man who bit off more than he could chew. It's still unclear who started this messy little war, with each side pointing accusing fingers at the other. Russia has clearlybeen spoiling for a fight, but it seems hard not to conclude that the vital hand in a very risky card game was played by Mr Saakashvili himself when he ordered a full-on assault of South Ossetia last Thursday night. He called Mr Putin's bluff, and Mr Putin, with some trademark harsh words, laid down a full house – not just repelling the Georgian assault on South Ossetia but launching attacks all over Georgia.

I'm still puzzled by the western media's lack of response to the Georgian massacre of civilians in Tskhinvali. It's like it never really happened...

Bush's War in Georgia

"Georgia could have used the years of Saakashvili's presidency in different ways - to build up the economy, to develop the infrastructure, to solve social issues both in South Ossetia, Abkhazia and the whole state. Instead, the Georgian leadership with president Saakashvili undertook consistent steps to increase its military budget from US$30 million to $1 billion - Georgia was preparing for a military action." Naturally, Russia is worried about these developments and has brought the matter up repeatedly at the United Nations but to no avail.

Israeli arms manufacturers have also been supplying Saakashvili with state-of-the-art weaponry. According to Israeli newspaper Ha'aretz

Medvedev has ordered a halt of all Russian military operations against Georgia.

Saakashvili in the outskirts of Gori, August 11 2008.

Georgia declares Abkhazia and South Ossetia occupied territories.


Saakashivili: Georgia denounces treaty on Russian peacekeeping mission in Abkhazia


Will Russia pull out of Abkhazia and South Ossetia, if they are replaced by peacekeeping troops from the UN or EU? If Russian troops pull out of Abkhazia and South Ossetia, can a massacre there be prevented? Remember Srebreniza? ...

Abkhazian troops have "liberated" the Kodori Gorge in Abkhazia.


Abkhaz Rebels Exult Over 'Liberation' From Georgians

Norwegian journalists interviewed people in Tbilisi. The people were crying because they've heard from relatives and friends in Gori, that hordes of criminals were now raiding, robbing and raping the people of Gori. When the Norwegian journalists asked who's to blame for this, they all shouted: "Saakashvili!". Then they said that Saakashvili is "a complete idiot" and that he should resign!


From here:

Dagbladet: Han er en komplett idiot (in norwegian...)

Peace Plan

Medvedev signed a French-brokered peace plan today. It was already signed by Saakashvili. However, it seems like someone had changed the document that was signed by Saakashvili, and something is missing in the document. Someone seems to be gambling here. Who changed it? Saakashvili or the US? Very risky. Don't they want peace?

Medvedev: Russia Will Pull Out Troops On Monday

Medvedev says Russia will withdraw their troops on Monday. The Russians says Georgia is planning to carry out attacks in the area of Gori, dressed in Russian uniforms.


Russia will pull out troops on Monday - Medvedev

Here's an interview with Saakashvili on CNN. Interesting to hear him saying that Russia leveled Tskhinvali in order to blame it on Georgia. I don't believe him. Anyway, here it is:



There's a thread discussing this video here:

Saakashvili was unable to answer CNN (by tehdreamer)

Interesting read. The perfect wrong war.


South Ossetia: The perfect wrong war

August 14, 2008


By now, days after Georgian forces stormed the capital of south Ossetia and Russian units counter attacked across the breaking away province and beyond; a devastating war has spread across the Caucasus causing death, destruction and displacement of populations. All wars are terrible -- even the legitimate ones where country, freedom and survival at are at stake. But this war is particularly unnecessary, could have been avoided and above all is wrong; in fact I call it the perfect wrong war.

In that video, Saakashvili actually says that "Russian bombs" leveled the "peaceful mountain town" Tskhinvali totally. As if it was a Georgian city inhabited by Georgians. Did the Georgians use Russian bombs when they attacked Tskhinvali?

Jewish Quarter wiped out in Tskhinvali.

An entire Jewish Quarter has been wiped out as a result of Georgia's military offensive in Tskhinvali. Witnesses in the South Ossetian capital say there's hardly a home standing in the area where the city's Jewish population lived.

South Ossetia, Abkhazia and Nagorno Karabakh to be recognized on August 25?

Seems like Russia and Armenia might recognize Nagorno Karabakh, South Ossetia and Abkhazia on August 25! What about Transnistria? Will they also call for independence? Could this trigger more war in Georgia and a greater war in Azerbaijan?



Nagorno Karabakh can be recognized by Armenia simultaneously with Russia recognizing Abkhazia and South Ossetia
