Real News: No 'good guys' In Georgia Conflict
With the rhetoric from both Washington and Moscow heating up as the provocation of Russia continues, the US media continues to cloud the truth and slant the issues and the stories as much as possible in favor of "acting President" McCain, to whom Bush seems to defer to and to have turned over control of US Foreign Policy to the past few days.
Yesterday in Moscow, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev assured South Ossetia and Abkhazia of Russia's support in their bid for independence as ceasefire held in Georgia and the focus shifted to a post-war settlement...
"Russia's position is unchanged. We will support any decisions taken by the peoples of South Ossetia and Abkhazia," said Mr. Medvedev at a Kremlin meeting with the leaders of the two self-proclaimed republics. "We will not only support but will guarantee [your decisions] both in the Caucasus and throughout the world."Meanwhile, today, with Russia, Georgia and the US engaging in a war of words, Matthew Rothschild, Editor of the Progressive believes all three are behaving hypocritically.
Mr. Medvedev in fact declared Moscow's readiness to brush aside the West's objections to the two regions' split from Georgia in much the same way as the West ignored Russian protests against Kosovo's independence.
Mr. Medvedev's statement signals a major shift in Moscow's stand.
The new cold war isn't nearly as "cold" as the old cold war, it seems, and the pot may yet boil over...

Hey Edger,
Here's another analysis on the Russia-Georgia shenanigans. Only this one addresses the machinations of the "hidden hands" behind this and other dastardly events.
It's time for people to wake-up to the true nature of the world leaders that have set this thing into motion. It is far more deceptive, contrived, and sinister than most would believe. That is why I have been patiently setting a very unique trap for these snakes. Take the time to understand and then hold their feet to the fire !!!
This whole Russia-Georgia affair is a purposely-orchestrated and easily-pierced theatrical production. How convenient is it that the Bush Administration trained and prepped Georgia and then (some...) US troops-trainers pull out just before they initiate an "apparent blunder" that the Russians have been ready and poised to respond to, for months. Remember, nothing of this scale can be pulled together quickly, and all sides have been watching each other, like hawks, for decades.
Also remember that both sides have satellites and very well equipped spy agencies, so any assertion that anyone was surprised is laughable. It goes without saying that the leaders on all sides of this strange little war have something up their sleeves that most people have no clues about. All the pieces were placed on the board before major world leaders went off to the Olympics, pretending to be surprised, and pretending to be mad at each other afterwards.
Likewise, isn't it just a little too contrived that the US media is spinning that McCain is being helped by a war that the Bush administration openly and undeniably helped to start? This is one more key to the truth about this slimy little affair and the low-life snakes that arranged it. Here's more help connecting the dots and closing the trap door on these evil halfwits.
Time to get a clue, before its too late...
Peace and Wisdom...
