Georgia started it! Digg in!

Very Cool.

.MOSCOW, August 15 (RIA Novosti) - A total of 528 refugees from South Ossetia have received medical assistance in North Ossetia since Georgia's attack on the rebel republic's capital on August 8, the Russian health ministry said on Friday.

As a result of Georgia's military offensive last Friday, South Ossetia's capital, Tskhinvali, was largely destroyed. According to Russian figures, around 1,600 civilians were killed and over 34,000 fled the region, mostly to the neighboring Russian republic of North Ossetia.

"We have admitted 84 people, including 22 wounded, 55 ill people and 4 pregnant women, in the last 24 hours alone," the ministry quoted medical official Vladimir Uiba as saying.

He also said 16 people had been transferred from Vladikavkaz, the capital of North Ossetia, to federal hospitals.

Valery Shabanov, a chief doctor at a field hospital in the South Ossetia capital, said 90 people had been admitted to hospital over the last 24 hours in Tskhinvali, and that 19 of them had undergone surgery.

I went to a bar-and-grille-type restaurant for lunch today. The guy sitting next to me at the bar was having a conversation with his friend, and the topic of the Georgia-Russia conflict came up. He said he knew someone that thought Russia had invaded GEORGIA...as in college football-loving UGA Bull-Dawg / Georgia On My Mind / Masters Golf Tournament - Gaw-gia.

I just shook my head and laughed.

demanding that Russia withdraw all troops immediately after the cease-fire agreement that Georgia just signed. Now, that everything has been stirred up we will have to see if Russia is in a hurry to leave. Pawns in the game, played against each other, and then the people of these countries are the ones to suffer.

I've tried to view many videos of the bombing damage done by the Georgians, from Russian sources, but they all seems to be blocked. Is it possible for these to be blocked in the U.S.?

Last Friday, after the world’s leaders had arrived at the Beijing Olympics, Georgian troops launched an all-out assault on the region of South Ossetia, which has enjoyed de facto independence for more than 16 years. The majority of the region’s population are Russian citizens. Under the terms of the 1992 agreement to which Georgia is a party, they are afforded protection by a small number of Russian peacekeeping soldiers. The ground and air attack resulted in the killing of peacekeepers and the death of an estimated 1,600 civilians, creating a humanitarian disaster and leading to an exodus of 30,000 refugees. The Georgian regime refused to allow a humanitarian corridor to be established and bombarded a humanitarian convoy. There is also clear evidence of atrocities having been committed – so serious and systematic that they constitute acts of genocide.

"On August 7, after days of shooting incidents in the South Ossetian conflict zone, Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili made a speech in which he said that he had given the Georgian villagers orders not to fire, that he wanted to offer South Ossetia 'unlimited autonomy' within the Georgian state, with Russia to be a guarantor of the arrangement.

"Both sides said they were discussing a meeting the next day to discuss how to defuse the clashes.

"That evening, however, Saakashvili went for the military option. The Georgian military launched a massive artillery attack on Tskhinvali, followed the next day by a ground assault involving tanks.

"This was a city with no pure military targets, full of civilians who had been given no warning and were expecting peace talks at any moment."

This is a Ron Paul forum...right?

We do believe in a non-intervening foreign policy...right.

Let's become energy-independent and sell that technology to others. It would save many more lives than selling military intervention for oil!

Ron Paul is the great uniter, the income tax fighter...the military-supported, defender of the border...the political apathy solution and the champion of the Constitution! Doctor Paul is on-call!
