slvemike4u, you refuse to face the facts. Georgia made a brutal attack on Russian civilians, murdering and ethnically cleansing them, not even Bush is disputing that fact. If Canada murdered US citizens and etnically cleansed US residents in Canada, the US wouldn't worry azbout the niceties of Canada's border integrity.

The complaint by the west is Russia's over reaction, not its reaction. Even then, the west's reaction to Russia has nothing to do with wanting to protect Georgia but old fashioned power politics.

quote:

Interior Ministry spokesman Shota Ustiashvili told the BBC the planes had flown some 70km (43 miles) over Georgia, firing the "modern and powerful" rocket, which weighed about a ton.
Mr Ustiashvhili said the jets flew from a Russian base in the North Caucasus before firing the missile, which landed just metres from a house. Local resident Ilia Psuturi told Reuters news agency: "I was sitting in my garden... when I saw a plane in the sky. "I then saw smoke rising from the ground up to the sky and only then did I hear the explosion. The plane then turned around," he said.

But a Russian defence analyst, Alexander Golts, said that without objective, hard information on the incident, it was impossible to lay the blame on either Russian or Georgian aircraft. "While no one can say for sure whether it was a fuel tank or a rocket or a bomb which fell, I fail to see why a Russian plane would bomb territory close to South Ossetia," he told the BBC News website.

Joanna Najfeld reports
Georgian Foreign Affairs Ministry said Friday morning that two Russian bombs fell in the vicinity of a police building in the Georgian town Kareli, close to the border with the separatist South Ossetia. The third bomb fell on the town Gori. According to the spokesman of Georgian Interior Ministry, there are many casualties.

Maja Kovaliowa from the Georgian capital says the residents can feel the tension: 'Those Georgian villages on the border with Ossetia were bombarded yesterday and the day before yesterday by separatists. The people there are very worried, because houses have been destroyed and there are casualties. They say they want peace, not another war.'
 
The Georgian president Mikhail Saakashvili accused Russia of conducting a large scale military operation against Georgia. Saakashvili called on Moscow to stop bombarding Georgian cities immediately. He announced a full military mobilization in the country and is also quoted as saying that the majority of South Ossetia has been liberated and is under the Georgian control.

..............

The conflict between Georgia and Ossetia has been escalating for months and the present situation is partly a result of American - Russia relations concerning missile defense and other international issues, says Sebastian Zawadzki of the Institute of Political Studies at Polish Academy of Sciences: 'Not only Georgia has beed adding to the pressure between the countries. Russia and Ossetia have been accusing Georgia of repeated aggression against Ossetian and Abhasian towns. Just to mention the latest propaganda campaign of moving fifteen hundred women and children from South to North Ossetia. That was a publicity stunt, meant to picture Georgia as an aggressor. The logistics were all prepared beforehand by the Russian side.'

(Btw, polskie radio doesn't have the best reputation for impartiality.  Membership of the governing body is pretty much on party political lines and the legacy of the Kaczinski brothers does show itself in news broadcasts taking a nationalist and anti-Russian line.  To be fair, this may be partially due to the fact its listeners are older, unlike the commercial stations'.)

How about not cutting out parts of the BBC reports you quoted to try and make them support your argument when they don't?

I posted something yesterday from Polish radio, and yet you continue to make this claim.  Also, are you suggesting that the bombs that Russia dropped on the 6th, and 7th, were part of a REaction? 

Or how about this little reported item Dated Aug. 7th, about an incident that occured on the 6th. There are other reports of other incidents but this shall do for now.

But critics say that, despite having spent over $100bn (£54bn), the Pentagon still has not proved the system can work in realistic conditions.
Independent scientific bodies in the US have said that tests of the system's intercept capabilities have been highly scripted, with the defence being given detailed information about the attack beforehand.

The Czech government will need the support of some opposition parties to see the measure through. Meanwhile, there is significant public resistance to the plan, with 100,000 people signing a petition calling for a referendum on the issue. Opinion polls indicate that about two-thirds of Czechs do not want the project to go ahead.
