Michael Ware just said on CNN: "Russian, in the beginning, attacked...
invaded Georgia on two fronts."

I guess that's the official story and he's sticking to it.

2. I think our world changed when "pundits" and "experts"
were allowed and encouraged to be our "new" people. They can say ANYTHING, and because they are on a "news" show, its true. Amerika is full of gullible idiots.

4. Technically true.
They're just leaving out the whole Georgia attacking South Ossetia first part.

6. There has to be a beginning of the Russian attack.
He's ignoring what precipitated it. Clear enough, right?

7. By blaming the Russians for the attack
Edited on Fri Aug-15-08 05:29 PM by Turbineguy
we don't have to get into the more complicated and subtle reality that Bush allowed his ally Saakashvili to walk into a trap set by the Russians.

It's more of an insult to the intelligence of their viewers than an insult on the truth

8. The Free Republic version of events is that Georgia was simply
and innocently trying to quell some civil unrest from "separatists" in S. Ossetia, and Russia went postal and attacked. I guess that's Michael Ware's/CNN's version now too.
