I blame Georgia's leaders.
By Lira Tskhovrebova 08/10/08 "CSM" —

-Tskhinvali, South Ossetia -

In a speech before the United Nations last month, Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili implored world leaders to set up an international investigation to find out the truth about the war in South Ossetia. I couldn't agree more. But I think the results of an honest investigation would reveal a very different "truth" than what President Saakashvili claims.

I know this because I was in Tskhinvali, the capital of South Ossetia, on Aug. 7 when Georgian troops marched into the city and killed my friends and neighbors. I huddled with my family in terror for three nights while Saakashvili's tanks and rockets destroyed hundreds of our homes, desecrated cemeteries, gutted schools and hospitals.

I also have good reason not to trust what Saakashvili says. For three days before the attack I had been getting calls from many Georgian friends warning me to get out. They said Saakashvili was planning an attack. Most of the Georgians living in South Ossetia left because they knew what was coming.

On the night of Aug. 7, Saakashvili went on television and assured the frightened civilian population of South Ossetia that he would not attack us. This was long after the time Saakashvili now claims Russians had begun "invading" Georgia. Ossetians went to bed relieved and thankful for a peaceful night.

I think the fact that she was there and we weren't means she at least should be afforded the benefit of the doubt.

Truth is, we'll never know what really happened, cause thankfully we were all safe in our own beds. But eye-witness reports are the best evidence we have, especially since we all know the bias of the MSM.

Remeber the girl that went on Faux News to thank Russia? I seriously doubt she was lying.

Oh yes, by all means, lets take corporate media's word for it as absolute truth, and never once ask the question "Why should I believe this? No really WHY??". After all, CNN and FOX have flashier television sets and websites than this woman, so they must have more truth to them, right?

I would rather listen to an over-exaggerated, biased eyewitness claim than corporate media bull# being forced down my throat.

As long as we are supposed to answer your question, please answer me this: Why should we NOT believe this woman? No really, why? Any answer you give can be countered with an equally as good, if not better excuse not to listen to corporate media.

Don't believe it? Ok, but if you don't believe this little girl, then I don't know what will make you believe. Watch the Fox News talking head freak out and wanting to cut her of.

...and here she is again, immediately after the Russian troops (the alleged aggressors) transported her to safety (to Moscow).

It's funny how the MSM wants you to believe their story about our NWO puppett in Georgia.

I expect Mindsmog knew it from the start because it was reported from the start. The question you should ask is why didn't you know it from the start?

From the moment it happened I knew what was happening involved atrocities committed by Georgia, US and UK ally. That this was probably a Rothschild and Rockerfeller initiative. I have to thank ATS for reading articles, about FOX and CNN lying, and that they did not even have a legal obligation to tell the truth, it had been established in court that as private cooperations, they had the right to put any slant on anything they wished. This isn't common knowledge. I was on the phone with my mother and grandmother, who only got the news version, telling them how it was really happening and going down, and telling them about the videos I was watching. August was a month my kids were hanging onto and enjoying to the last moment, but as a mother the horror of what had just happened to thousands of children across the globe was unbelievable. And also unbelievable that if you just watched the news, you were being told to blame Russia. I see the whole world through the eyes of my children! I suggest everyone starts to do that. So we can stamp out injustice and establish social justice and economic equality with or without money forever.

oh believe me, i knew everyone was SAYING that , but that doesnt mean im just gonna believe you lol

just because something is "Reported" Doesnt make it true
in fact i Distrust "reporters" and their agendas more than ANYONE else
for good reason, they lie alot

look i wasnt in georgia , ever - so i wont believe what Either side of the conflict says

georgia did this or russia did that, it doesnt matter all of its wrong
they are all liars (arent all humans?)

look im just saying, i take everything i hear with a grain of salt, if you know what i mean by that

just because something fufills your preconcieved notions ; doesnt make it true

they always said, the First Casualty of War, is Always the Truth

but russia is one of the "puppets" too, in alot of ways

that was my point

thats why im extremely distrustful of ANY propaganda about THAT war

can anyone say cia vs kgb proganda war? no telling who else is involved

my suggestion, instead of "holding your nose" as you read these articles and "reports" and opinions, we need to put on the "gas masks" metaphorically speaking

yes, you can say that there are opposing reports. Some say Russia invaded Georgia. Others say Georgia invaded ossetia and Russia intervened on behalf the ossetians. However, and this says something to me, no matter how people spin it, MANY articles state the timeline that on the 7th georgian troops began the slaughter of surprised and unprepared russian peacekeepers and ossetian civilians. On the other hand, no matter the spin, not a SINGLE article even TRIES to state that russian troops opened fire upon surprised and unprepared georgian troops. So, no matter how much they try to SPIN the events, not a single is brazen enough to try to change the facts that the initial killing was done by georgian troops, and that says something to me. Not a single story tries to say that russian bombardment destroyed the ossetian buildings, and the truth of the matter is that if russia had indeed initiated the hostilities, the georgian military would have gotten nowhere near ossetia. So use some common sense here, and see through the BS. Dont just look at what is said, look also at what is NOT said. A timeline and description of events from beginning to end is given for the theory that georgia invaded, from georgian peacekeepers turning on and killing the unsuspecting russian peacekeepers, to the massacreing of civilians. On the other side, there is no timeline of events, no description of how it fell out, just the story that "russia invaded georgia", period, end of story. Seems a bit obvious to me that one side is AVOIDING the details becase, well, the devil lives in the details, and thats one little devil they want to keep hidden.
