Russian blogs are reporting that there is evidence that US advisors assisted Georgia's artillery/tank attacks on civilians. There is proof that Saakashvili went on Georgian state TV - he has banned criticism of his implementation of Neo-Con nation-building plans - 2 hours before the midnight attack (ie: no satellites) and
promised "autonomy" to South Ossetia. With Bush-McCain connivance he has blamed the Russians for his attacks on civilians. Big Media refuses to report eye witness accounts that corroborate Russian claims of Georgian aggression. Further, they are covering up Russian capture of military technology that cannot
be sold to Russia. I suspect that while Russians were properly gathering evidence of war crimes, Bush sent Condi Rice to Tblisi to support his obstructive demand for a status quo pullback, in order to conduce accession to his complicity in war crimes.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=210&topic_id=23331&mesg_id=23332 Saakashvili is no saint. He was Justice Minister in the government of Eduard Shevardnadze, but quit when US billionaire, George Soros ("Open Society Institute of Georgia") put him on his payroll and promised to finance a youth agitator unit. Said unit was instrumental in instigating the "Rose Revolution" of 2003.
Saakashvili won election the following year with 80% of the votes, on a national unity and anti corruption platform. On election, he immediately began to implement Neo-Con policies, with the usual catastrophe. Although Soros opposes the GWOT and has compared Bush to Hitler, Bush took notice of Saakashvili, when he needed bozos for his retarded "Coalition of the Willing." The Georgian leader sent more troops than any other of Bush's tinpot partners in idiocy. Bush rewarded him with military advisers and cash outlays. Further, Bush dragged Israel into the conflict. (Georgia's Defense Minister has dual Georgia-Israel citizenship).
Bush visited Georgia in 2005, after huge protest groupings formed, with the Anti-Soros Group referring to Saakashvili as a US "puppet" and his regime as "stooges." With the "puppet's" support in freefall, Bush hailed Georgia as a "full partner" and sought to drag the country into NATO. Effectively that would integrate American
collective security with a country that has been associated with Russia for centuries. In my estimate, about a third of Georgians are pro-Russia. Another half are wary but habitable. By November of 2007, Saakashvili turned Bush Strong Man and began shutting down critical media, jailing critics and opposition politicians,
suppressing voter registration, and setting up a version of central control similar to the Soviet apparatchuk system. In spite of a controlled political system, and limited voter choice, Saakashvili was able to squeak out election on January 5, 2008, with 52.8% of the vote. European observers reported triplicate voting by
members of the new bureaucrat class. (The demonstration for Condi Rice was attended ONLY by said class; the turnout was only 15,000)
What about the Georgian military? You have heard of "patria o muerte" (country or death)? They abandoned military vehicles, weapons, weapons, and flags. It is suspected that escapees are under US protective custody, even as Russia prepares a substantiable war crimes case against Saakashvili and his criminal partners.
Saakashvili is a functional paranoid, prone to use deflective violence to assuage guilt. He participated in the Shevardnadze government that murdered the first elected post-Soviet leader, Vliad Gamsakhurdia, who was elected in 1991 on a supremacist "Georgia for the Georgians" slogan. Americans have seen videos of Gori City Hall, with a statue in front. Said statue of Stalin. Gamsakhurdia has acquired the same reveration from Georgian nationalists (about 10% of the population). Saakashvili was front man in the coverup of the said murder. Now he adopts the policies of that supremacist. You know of his denial of South Ossetian autonomy. He operates the same policy, with respect to the 5 other oppressed ethnic minorities of Georgia. Armenians have rioted in protest of his duplicitious claims to conduce "freedom" while he forces Georgian on them. Saakashvili is a tyrant and war criminal. McCain chose him as his regional Strong Man. His chief advisor, was on his payroll until last April. Said advisor will receive huge benefits from future "stooge" relations with the "puppet." Further midnight massacres and ethnic cleansings are in the planning books. An all this is done with US advisors on the front lines, protecting American weaponry, even as it is used in the slaughter.
Please check out the following psychological profile of Saakashvili. Caveat: it was released in 2006 and is obviously a product of Russian intelligence. That said, it is the product of skilled remote analysis. It is difficult to read in the noted website, but it can be downloaded as a PDF or text file, and
darkened.
http://www.scribd.com/doc/4794109/Mikhail-Saakashvili-A-Psychological-Study-of-the-Character Remote psycho analysis is hardly objective. However, the profile is accurate. He has the same problem that others who practise lying-on-one's-feet have: emotions guide his judgment.
http://www.new.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=1019825981431&oid=22347223862 Why would he blame the Russians for damage caused by his Midnight-Massacre, if he didn't have other coverup/whitewash artists in his pocket? The Democratic Underground post above includes a video in which McCain's Strong Man claims to have spoken to the candidate "several times a day." Why? Is McCain getting secure data in violation of US Code 50. 15? There is sufficient foundation for a Congressional investigation. What would
Saakashvili and the millionaire houseboy discuss? What could US Secret Service agents tell of these conversations? (Confidentiality is not in breach, where there is a bona fide law enforcement/crime prevention cause enabling free disclosure).
Bush has good reason to want McCain in office. He is complicit in mass murder in Afghanistan. The transfer of captured Taliban in truck containers controlled by the Northern Alliance cannot be denied because there is video proof of same. There is also video proof - including body dump evidence - that Northern Alliance shot bullets indiscriminately into said containers, mid journey, and then left most to die. Again there is proof that the CIA
controlled the entire journey of the prisoners. Most of the Gitmo detainees were culled from pre-container captives. CIA operatives were videoed at journey's end. US intelligence and Bush were well aware that delays in the prisoner transfer were inordinate. As you may have seen in "Taxi to the Dark Side," many captives were innocents who were arrested and tortured - sometimes to death - on the basis of accusations from paid captors.
Chechen, Turkmen and others who joined the Taliban, are seen on video as part of a cash for captives scheme. They were all likely tortured to death. Bush had his Attorney General draft self-exhonerating regulation, under war powers provisions, to escape justice. Obama could countermand that order.

http://freedocumentaries.org/film.php?id=82 A simple look at this series of maps reveals the insanity of integrating NATO's collective security obligations into the Caucasus. Success in the Balkans has given comfort to the Neo-Conmen. Once he is in NATO, Saakashvili will move on Armenia after cleansing Armenians out of Georgia. Further he will use territorial integrity and self determination to move on North Ossetia. Russians will react.
