Georgian Official Reports Downing of 2 Russian Aircraft
« on: August 08, 2008, 07:15:42 AM »
 Georgia claims it has shot down two Russian warplanes as violence escalates in the breakaway province of South Ossetia.

Russia has sent 150 tanks and armored vehicles into the territory as what started as a regional conflict between Georgia and separatists threatens to build into all-out war.

Georgian troops launched a major military offensive Friday to regain control over the South Ossetia and the president accused Russia, which has close ties to the separatists, of bombing Georgian territory.

A Russian official denied the bombing. But Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said the Georgian attack will draw retaliation and the Defense Ministry pledged to protect South Ossetians, most of whom have Russian citizenship.

An Associated Press reporter saw tanks and other heavy weapons concentrating on the Russian side of the border with South Ossetia and villagers were fleeing into Russia.

Ohhh, could treaty deals with the Islamic Republic of Iran - who has a stated interest in gobbling up the little islamic 'stans to form one, grand caliphate for Allah - have something to do with it?

Wow.  Didn't see this one coming.  Right on cue our Soviet apologist who's never seen or heard of a bad act...deed...or word ever coming from the USSR shows up to do his best Baghdad Bob telling us "there's nothing to see here".

Considering that they're talking about turning MiGs into lawn darts, I kinda doubt that either side is using SKSs, or police forces in this little brawl.  Brings to mind axioms about bringing knives to gunfights.

SKS' have been long outdated. The AK Variants are far much better. However....... I doubt that it was rifles of any kind that brought down those MIGs

The Russian's sent in major air strikes last night and destroyed a town.  They hit apartment buildings and residential areas.  I hate hearing about civilians dying like that.

Looking for ANYTHING from BHO on the situation in Georgia.
wtf ?
Maybe he's thinking  its only a football rivalry story between "The buldogs" and the "Crimson Tide" ?

Nothing posted at the DUMPSTER on Barack Obama's $.02 either.



Is he really  "A man ready to change"?


imo,
the longer he stays silent,
the lower his poll #'s will slip.
You Dumpster trolls can take that opinion back to the Dump and explain it to them next week  :whatever:  :-)

The whole thing is a little to close to Turkey if you ask me. I wonder how long it's going to take before this gets worse?

BHO's 300 person staff is busy assembling a focus group and are conducting a poll to find out what response sond sthe best and will be most likely to inspire "hope" in the people when he stps to the mic.

Plans for BHO to make his statement about the situation between Russia and Georgia during the USA Men's Basketball game today so no one will pay attention to his idiot ramblings.
