For the Jewels of the East - The who, what, where, when, why behind Georgia and Ossetia

Two days ago, on the feared 8/8/08, Georgia invaded its Russian-backed separatist spinoff neighbor South Ossetia in a vicious attack to regain control of it, and captured the capital, Tskhinvali, killing Russian peacekeepers that were in there. Russia, in response, went in there with tanks and are just slaughtering the Georgian military. The Georgian President, Mikhail Saakasvili complained, saying that the Russians are attacking them in their own territory. South Ossetia, in a hard war with Georgia, won semi-independence from Georgia sixteen years ago, so that claim is weightless. Ethnic cleansing has been reported by the Russians, but as no specifics have been cited, I’ll just repeat their claim and leave it at that till something more solid than that pops up. The Russians have the nuts to say they have liberated the South Ossetians when everyone who could fled the country and those who haven’t have hardly any food or electricity. And all the buildings are smashed. Bush must be doing his ventriloquist act again. The mainstream media, for the most part, is giving marginal attention to this, continuing to show the usual cartoons, the Olympics, and some fluff john Edwards scandal, like all this is dust in the wind. This could turn into World War friggin 3, and FOX is debating whether or not John Edwards is the father of some kid. Just like during the Depression. The networks then wouldn’t show all the bank run riots, but they showed instead ostrich races. All by design. The mainstream media is always right on time when they want to manipulate the public. Just remember Iraq and Afghanistan. Also, from the looks of this pack of articles, US troops are possibly even in there right now, fighting alongside the Georgians and getting killed as I write this.

The Georgians have exited the South Ossetian capital, but with the understanding that South Ossetia has been doing its thing since breaking fully away from Georgia in 1992 and being left alone militarily for all the years between then and 2008, the next question should be who or what made Georgia go in there now?
