Georgia offers fresh evidence on war's start

TBILISI, Georgia — A new front has opened between Georgia and Russia, now over which side was the aggressor whose military activities early last month ignited the lopsided five-day war. At issue is new intelligence, inconclusive on its own, that nonetheless paints a more complicated picture of the critical last hours before war broke out.

Georgia has released intercepted telephone calls purporting to show that part of a Russian armored regiment crossed into the separatist enclave of South Ossetia nearly a full day before Georgia's attack on the capital, Tshkinvali, late on Aug. 7.

Georgia is trying to counter accusations that the long-simmering standoff over South Ossetia, which borders Russia, tilted to war only after it attacked Tshkinvali. Georgia regards the enclave as its sovereign territory.

The intercepts circulated last week among intelligence agencies in the United States and Europe, part of a Georgian government effort to persuade the West and opposition voices at home that Georgia was under invasion and attacked defensively. Georgia argues that as a tiny and vulnerable nation allied with the West, it deserves extensive military and political support.

Integrity is very important to me.

This article was written By C.J. Chivers, Dan Bilefsky and Thom Shanker , I only made a video.

I am not making the news , I am only helping the TRUTH to find its way to curious people.

PS. If it was up to me all Russian troops would leave Georgia like thy left east Germany. Sadly it is not up to me nor it is in power of ANY GEORGIAN, It is up to PUTIN & other oppressive individuals In Russia.

Truth ? Russian troops are cholera & HIV virus.

Абсолютное большинство русских понимает в чём дело. Абсолютное большинство русских помнит 1941 год и практически никто не хочет воевать. Русским не нужна Грузия и их земля, так как в Грузии нет ничего, кроме фруктов.

a. entire WAR was has developed on The Territory of Georgia. there was NOT even 1 bullet shut towards Russian Territory = Russia is the invader.

b. there is a video showing Russian troops taking the cut down (whole) pear tree with ripe fruits as spoils of the war - you fruit reference - Russians are stilling a fruit tree.

c. This WAR was about Russian Greed to obtain Caucasian Oil. Georgia was defending Caucasian interests not only the interests of Georgia.

Peace to Georgia !!!

cockroaches are many in number & they are hard to get rid of once they invade your home & Russians are like unpleasant cockroaches without any human rights, Russian opinions do not matte, even their government ignores their opinion. Russians do not have the right on elections or the right of speech.

Congratulations you are Russian but now be silent, you have no right to speak.

You're exactly right. georgian army began to retreat (they were on the way to block Roki Tunnel), but Russian army took this oportunity to go further on south and take this highly stategic region. Now all transcaucasia is hostage of russia.Pütin/Medvedev aren't trustable persons, they're just greedy stalinist oportunists and conquerors, they play an archaïc imperialist game. Thank's to Saaka they lost Batum. They can now pressurize Baku (pipeline) and Armenia (Roki tunnel and georgian ports).
