Wow, the Georgian President is so busy taking orders
that he tells the world the Russians are violating the ceasefire when the ceasefire says they can remain in those areas. Hilarious to watch CNN eat their own propaganda.

3. Look and listen better
Yes, they can stay in a conflict region, but Gori never was part of Ossetia, its surrounding were never part of Georgia... Maybe this will give you better idea of what's going on

7. Good links but Saakashvili and CNN have backed down from
saying the the Russian army are anywhere that is not allowed. They do have the right to destroy weapons in Gori since that base attacked the two autonomous areas.

11. Have you a link to the precise ceasefire agreement?
"Right to destroy weapons" in another country's territory sounds very strong for a ceasefire. That sounds more like something written into a surrender document.

12. I did wonder about that
Edited on Thu Aug-14-08 06:56 AM by malaise
There is an older UN document but I suspect that Russia is merely following the US and after the US support for Israel in Lebanon, neither has any moral authority on these matters.

10. Stalin did more harm to Georgia than any other republics -including South Ossetia problem
By the way, South Ossetia's problem is largely fault of Stalin, who actually considered himself to be Russian.
He was the one who settled so many Ossetians there; he was the one who planned the tunnel connecting to Russia; he was the one who formed so called autonomous republics thus creating a slow-motion ethnic bombs in Georgia..
And in no way we Georgians consider him to be our hero...
Maybe Russia's?

13. Most Americans don't consider Bush a hero either...
Edited on Thu Aug-14-08 09:39 AM by Hubert Flottz
I wish you and your neighbors the very best.

Given the time and the chance I think Bush would out-do even Stalin in meanness.
