Russian President Dmitry Medvedev on Saturday ordered a tightening of security in Georgia's breakaway South Ossetia region after a bomb blamed by Moscow on Georgian special forces killed eight Russian troops.


The attack came just three days after more than 200 European observers deployed in various parts of Georgia at the start of a major mission to monitor the ceasefire and oversee the pull-back of Russian troops.

Tensions have remained high around Georgia's two rebel zones following an August war between Georgia and Russia over the region of South Ossetia.

Russian forces are due to withdraw from buffer zones around Georgia's rebel regions of South Ossetia and Abkhazia by October 10 under the peace deal, by which at least 200 European Union monitors have also been deployed in Georgia.

Looks like Putin had agents pull this bombing off as an excuse to crackdown on South Ossetia.

1. Hope you wouldn't reject to me saying that it looks like

Your own government committed mass murder on 9/11 just as an excuse to rape and pillage the Middle East then. I don't know exactly what you believe your own government is capable of but I believe that any thing Putin is capable of can be easily exceeded by the likes of Cheney and Rove. I feel really really sorry for their children having to be brought up by people who can only just be classed in a bracket lower than Hitler and Stalin.

2. sure the planes were flown by Cheney..

Right? I'm not a Bush fan but it's silly to say the US govt. did 9/11 when we know commercial planes were hijacked but feel free to believe whatever crazy thing you want.

Instead of changing the subject how about you show me why what I said is so outrageous.

Russian agents have been proven of killing a guy with radioactive materials which has been linked to Putin.

3. I didn't say they would fly the planes

Chicken hawks never do the dirty work themselves.

4. funny how in one sentence,bushco is considered a mindless "chimp" and the next,he is an evil genius

So which is it?
I suppose he also blew up those London busses to cover what he did in Madrid ?
:eyes:
Say high to Pat Condell and the powers being used by Bushco to destroy your Queens birthday pomp

[UK populist]

5. When did I name Bush

Bush has never been more than Cheney's puppet. You now the Dumb face for the fascist corporate dictatorship. When you think of all they have done to your own country and around the world (admittedly you probably don't see much of it on your corporate media). What would you think they would rather be thought as Dumb and incompetent or Evil mass murdering sociopaths.If any of you seriously think your country do not commit atrocities around the globe then you should be in a fucking mental institution.

9. so the 9/11 commission is in on it too?

How do you explain the 9/11 investigation not discovering this? They found nothing of the sort of what you're claiming.

6. 3 words;

fly by wire.

[reorg]

7. You said something stupid

- claiming, with no basis in fact whatsoever, that "Russians" orchestrated a bomb attack against themselves.

Now you add another lie. "Russian agents have been proven of killing a guy with radioactive materials" - O yeah? Or maybe your phantasy is running wild?

Interesting to see how these new Cold Warrior types are always quick to tie some Bush or Cheney defense into their slanders.

[Mesteryo]

8. do some research...

Now you add another lie. "Russian agents have been proven of killing a guy with radioactive materials" - O yeah? Or maybe your phantasy is running wild?


BBC News reported that "A Russian former KGB officer should be charged with the murder by poisoning of Alexander Litvinenko, the UK's director of public prosecutions has recommended.

Sir Ken Macdonald said Andrei Lugovoi should be tried for the "grave crime"."----http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/6678887.stm


and Putin so far has refused to extradite the guy.


Also why must you slander me as a new Cold Warrior? I'm unsure how you even define that.

It's also pretty suspicious that Russia accused Georgia of orchestrating the bombing and confiscated the bombed car despite having no jurisdiction.

You're right..nothing suspicious here.

[Mesteryo]

10. Russia confiscated the bombed vehicle also..

According to a statement from the South Ossetian breakaway administration, Russian troops had confiscated the vehicle that blew up from an ethnic Georgian village because it was carrying weapons.----http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7652802.stm


They have no jurisdiction in Georgia so it's pretty suspicious that they did this. I'm betting they'll "determine" Georgia did this.
