I'd remind you to calm down, but I'm pretty aggravated myself, so it would be rather hypocritical of me.

One poster mentioned "Is this the best proof the Russians can come up with?"

... uh, no. We already watched the videos from the western media of Georgia SHELLING A CIVILIAN CITY FOR HOURS!

It was after that the media started to pick their sides, and the western media stopped playing the shelling of Tshkinvali, and pretty much ignored it ever happened.

So basically, if you missed it, you weren't paying attention at the start of the conflict.


This little video of a Georgian soldier (Yes Georgian, I have many friends who are from the general region, and I can differentiate their languages. If you can't, well then... travel more. lol) using what appears to be a 50 cal. on civilian apartments and homes is just yet another video to tack onto the list.

I've even seen two, yes TWO, interviews with Americans who happened to be IN Tshkinvali when it was shelled... they (Your fellow Americans) confirm everything the Russians have been saying about what started the war.

"But oh no! They can't be right! They're talking about the evil Ruskies, my grandpa said they were bad people... they can't be doing good things... this hurts my brain."
lol... this is about the only argument I've seen from the disbelievers of events.

Just because your benevolent dictator hasn't declared Georgia to be the aggressor, doesn't mean he's right. The guys a moron... and you're trusting him over eye witness reports and video footage?!

Anyone want to see more proof, and want to see what Tskhinvali looks like after the Georgian blitz - take a look at the documentary in the following forum:

As for people referring to footage of Russian soldiers looting - much of the footage actually shows S Ossetian militia. Most of Russian troops stayed in organized contingents. S Ossetian militia was mostly roaming the countryside in small bands. The telling differences are that S Ossetians have more ragtag uniforms, sometimes carry somewhat different firearms, and have different tags on their vehicles.

Not to change the subject but, could you imagine if they had video of the Blackwater contractors shooting at civilians? That would obviously make more headlines here in the U.S. than the OP's story. But what does that say about society? Its almost as if a story doesn't involve the U.S. or our troops it gets de-prioritized among the news stories that actually matter. It doesn't help that the alot of Americans DO NOT want to hear about the death and suffering of our brave, uniformed men and women in Iraq.

But, in any event, it does seem that the justice dept. is going to go after these Blacwater contractors that were already under investigation for this incident involving Blackwater and 17 dead civilians..
Justice Department to indict Blackwater

US justice department is likely to indict Blackwater guards who shot dead 17 Iraqi civilians in an unprovoked shooting spree last September.

The notorious North Carolina-based security company has been involved in deadly attacks in war-ravage Iraq which angered the Iraqi nation.

Seven year-old Ali was shot dead by a Blackwater security guard on September 16, 2007 in Iraq. His father who has filed a lawsuit against Blackwater world wide said his son was murdered in cold blood and the seventeen others lost their lives on the same day, Press TV's Jihan Hafiz reported.

Washington post, quoting three sources close to Blackwater, said that those involved in the crimes could be indicted by the US justice department for their engagement.


And while many think that the government is trying to distance itself from Blackwater because of the investigation, they just recently opened up an all-new for-profit playing feild for Blackwater. The private intelligence business.

I didn't see anything labelling this tank as Georgian.


How do I know it wasn't Russian?

georgian troops kills civilians and peacekeepers and says "Very good"


Man's voice saying "Aim at the roofs and set the houses on fire. Use ammunition supplies sparingly. Choose your targets and take two to three shots"

Ossetian people SPEAK

I agree you even see he had a black eye let me guess he got that falling off a tank? In the so called interview they were scared you can see it in there eyes it was not an admission out of guilt but fear. Russians obviously pushed him trying to say the Americans were involved and he said not in my unit but they were here to train troops for Iraq. Obviously only mentioned because his captors wanted him to. as for the cell phone video it was an apc mount the noises you heard were the people inside and those clangs you heard were bullets hitting the apc . I know hell brought back some nightmares for me. Its very scary being in an apc in combat you wouldn't believe the stuff said to release tension you sometimes have to scream. Kind of like riding a roller coaster you go down the hill your natural reaction is to scream do to fear and adrenaline. If you watch the video closely he is scanning buildings just what your supposed to do when entering a hostile town nothing more. All this video proved is that these people were scared.

Dont think for 1 second that the Georgians were not attacked it was a war. And the casualty lists meen nothing because you dont know which side killed who and when where they caught in crossfire there is no facts and will never be that is the horrer when armies clash.
Available estimates put the South Ossetian forces at a mere 2,500 officers and men, or 16,000, including reservists. They are armed with 15 T-55 and T-72 tanks, 24 Gvozdika and Akatsiya self-propelled artillery units, 12 D-30 towed howitzers, six multiple-launch rocket systems, four 100-mm Rapir anti-tank weapons, and more than 30 mortars. In addition, the South Ossetian army has 22 infantry combat vehicles, 24 APCs, and six combat patrol vehicles.

The infantry is equipped with small arms of Soviet or Russian make, and has several dozen Fagot and Konkurs anti-tank rocket systems. Its air force consists of four MI-8 multi-purpose transport helicopters. South Ossetia can defend itself against air attacks with four to six Osa, three Tunguska, three Shilka, and six Strela-10 air defense rocket systems. It also has 12 23-mm ZU-23/2 twin antiaircraft guns (some of which are mounted on GAZ-66 trucks), and up to 100 Igla and Strela man-portable air-defense missiles.
