Russia: US Allowed Georgia to Attack
World | August 13, 2008, WednesdayGeorgia's attack on South Ossetia was likely approved by the United States, says Russian Ambassador to the UN, Vitaly Churkin.
"It is hard to imagine that (Georgian President Mikheil) Saakashvili embarked on this risky venture without some sort of approval from the side of the United States," Churkin told Russian NTV television on Wednesday.
Meanwhile former Georgian President Eduard Shevardnadze said that Georgia made a "grave mistake" by advancing into the pro Russian breakaway province of South Ossetia.
Shevardnadze, who is a former Soviet foreign minister, also said the issue of Georgia in itself would not cause a new Cold War, as "the new Cold War has long since been instigated by the USA, through the Americans' so-called missile defence shield in the Czech Republic and Poland."

Oh, phuleeeeeeeeeeeeeeze, give me a break! What is wrong with these Russians? Why do they think that the US is the policeman of the whole world and approves everything that is going on? Including what is going on in their own back yard? Georgia is manipulating and lying and placing the US in a very bad position. The US should just say we have nothing to do with Georgia.

Russians are bad losers and paranoids who see enemies everywhere thats all.
Today Georgia beat Russia in beach voleyball but gues what - the Georgian team were 2 Brasilian girls who Georgia asked to play for them in the Olimpics and gave them promptly Georgian citizenship;)
Before the game the 2 teams exchanged hugs and kisses but after the Russians lost they said the Georgian Brasilians were not Georgians, they didnt actually play Georgia etc. Just like the Bulgarians would do.

Speaking of lies, remember that one about Saddam Hussein possessing Weapons of Mass Destruction available to be launched within 45 minutes?
Compared to the wholesale destruction the US, UK and a few carpetbaggers (including Georgia) have wreaked in Iraq, Russia's intervention in South Ossetia is a minor skirmish.
Let's have some perspective here. As Putin rightly said, "regime change is an American expression". Right, Saddam?

It is striking obvious that US is behind Georiga, just checking the ground if it is ok to step there.
Not just Russians but all the sensible people see US as the country making conflicts around the world. Georgia is not manipulating, Saakashvili just has hope that the big brother will give a hand.

Hmmmmm, Apparently, The Russians think, the US stands on alot of ground, if they think, we can "allow" an attack. Their neighbors are our allies now and they just hate that! :-))

As if the Yanks are trembling in their boots that are made for walking (and that's just what they'll do)... because of some Russkie imperialist madmen who long to resurrect the axis of evil!
Get real! The Yanks would decimate the Russkies in a heartbeat if those polonium-cuisine-charactersed mongs tried any funny biz!

I'm sitting in a beautiful public house in Falmouth, Cornwall right now after a long day's toil. It's poetically exquisite here as it always has been. I am seated comfortably in the beer garden as I sip on my pint of Sharpe's and imagine Bill going lobster-pink in the face because RS and I have pretty much conveyed the same message to him!
I'm about to finish me meal and then I'll go to the big screen inside and catch the 'Pool v Standard Liege Champs League qualifier. Let us see how Keano gets on up front with El Nino!

CJB,
SADAM is dead.Why are you asking:"Right,Sadam?"
As for Russia saying that USA ALLOWED Georgia to attack...I NEWER HEARD SUCH WORD!
It must be a fabrication of SNA!
I watched yesterdy CHURKIN'S speach at the UN...he spoke Russian but I do
understand the language as I studied Russian in the High School and hawe
Russian friends here.
He did NOT saythat USA "allowed" ...he said that USA trained Georgia's soldiers,prowided military equipment and in such a way gawe the Georgian
IDIOT of president the self-confidence to attack South Ossetia.
TODAY Dmitry PESKOW talked to CNN and he also said almost the same...USA
"ENCOURAGED" the Georgian president ,giwing him hopes to be backed by
the MIGHTY USA MILITARY MASHINE in case he dares to attack Ossetia.
