CITATIONS OF THE DAY:

Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili
"We are living in an Orwellian world where the Russian federation accuses Georgia of genocide and ethnic cleansing and meanwhile they are doing it exactly right now... There was a temporary ceasefire, that was the understanding. From this morning there is large-scale movement of Russian weapons, of shooting, of armed incidents, rampages through different towns and villages of Georgia... Russian troops are in the process of completing ethnic cleansing of all Georgian-populated areas of Abkhazia and South Ossetia."

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov
"The armed forces of the Russian Federation which were sent to South Ossetia to reinforce our peacekeeping forces, they will be withdrawn to Russian territory depending on the extent to which the Georgian troops go back to their barracks. Our peacekeepers will remain in South Ossetia.

"The only change relates to the fact that Georgian peacekeepers, who were part of the peacekeeping contingent, but turned out to be simply traitors and cowards and started shooting at their colleagues - of course, they are never again going to appear as part of a peacekeeping contingent in South Ossetia."


US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice
"The Russians need to stop their military operations, as they have apparently said that they will, but those military operations really do, now, need to stop because calm needs to be restored."

This barbaric media wants to create war at any cost.

THIS MEDIA MUST BE STOPPED OR COMPETED AGAINST EFFICIENTLY. BUT COMPETITION IS NON-EXISTENT IN NEOLIBERAL COUNTRIES!

[bestnovel]

You do not need to be agresive. Can not you see what kind of war Russian government is starting. Instead of humilating Georgians, just prey, prey for the world.

[stewartx5]

Did anyone else notice that Mikheil Saakashvili (Georgian president), who actually started this conflict, spent most his time during the conflict outside Georgia, at the UN, in Europe, in Washington, and elsewhere? Guess he wanted to be safely at a distance while his soldiers died.

Russians, please, stop being agressive. There are 100 000 refuges in Tbilisi. And Russian troops are not leaving yet. What's wrong with you. You are humans as well. While you are defending yourselves and tring to find out who is wrong and who is right, Georgian people are deing and you are becoming part of this game. Do something, please.
