Russia Recognizes Republics' Independence
"Georgian leader denounces Russian troops as ‘invaders’; Saakashvili marks first anniversary since war started" by Jim Heintz, Associated Press | August 8, 2009
TBILISI, Georgia - President Mikhail Saakashvili of Georgia defiantly marked the first anniversary of his country’s war with Russia yesterday, denouncing Russian troops who control two Georgian regions as “invaders.’’
In a heated speech to a rain-drenched crowd of thousands in Gori, Saakashvili vowed Georgia’s neighbor would never regain control of his small country, his voice sometimes a growl and sometimes rising to a near shout. It was a marked contrast to the day’s otherwise quiet and low-key war commemorations.
How are those anti-Saakashviliprotests going, MSM? Been happening since APRIL although we hardly ever read about it here in AmeriKa's jewspapers.
Did you know Georgia is not only where the Khazar usurpers of Palestine came from; it is also the seat of the Jewish organized crime empire.
“Our future will not be written in a hostile, far-away, frigid capital,’’ Saakashvili said, referring to his frequent contention that Moscow aims to control or occupy all of Georgia, which it ruled for decades during the Soviet period.
“We want to defeat the invaders, not by another war. Obviously not. We want to defeat them by peacefully strengthening our democratic institutions, by constantly developing our economy, by getting closer and closer to the European Union,’’ he said in the city heavily damaged by the war. Saakashvili’s push for western integration deeply angers Moscow.
The brief war killed at least 390 people and left a legacy of animosity between leaders and fears of more fighting. About 26,000 people displaced by the conflict still live in temporary housing in Georgia, many on less than $3 a day, according to aid group World Vision.
It's always the poor Georgians in AmeriKa's Zionist MSM -- so much so that it makes you sick.
For five days Georgian troops fought to rein in the breakaway region of South Ossetia and push back advancing Russian forces. Russian troops and tanks backed the separatist forces against what they called an unprovoked Georgian assault. Fighting ended with an EU-brokered agreement that left South Ossetia cut off from the rest of Georgia by military checkpoints.
Russia, which recognizes South Ossetia as independent, maintains thousands of troops there to support local forces, which have widely been accused of killing ethnic Georgian civilians, burning their houses and driving them at gunpoint from the region....
Yeah, whatever, lying, biased, one-sided, agenda-pushing, enemy-creating, cover-up, AmeriKan MSM.
Tbilisi resident Lia Tabukashvili said while visiting a memorial to war victims on Parliament’s steps. “We can only place our faith in God and the international community.’’
Georgian soldiers watch the tense boundary line from a few hundred yards away, and European Union monitors use binoculars to survey the South Ossetian side, which Russia refuses to allow them to enter.
Both sides have said the other fired mortars or shot at them in recent weeks. Yesterday, Georgian Interior Ministry spokesman Shota Utiashvili said five civilians in the border village of Koshki were kidnapped by armed men who crossed over from South Ossetia.
Oh, MORE BULLS*** from the PROPAGANDA PRESS!?
See: THE TWO ISRAELI SOLDIERS WERE CAPTURED IN LEBANON
ONCE a LIAR, ALWAYS a LIAR, MSM!
Russian news agencies cited South Ossetia leader Eduard Kokoity as saying the men had inadvertently crossed into the province and were to be released immediately. President Dmitry Medvedev of Russia defended his decision to go to war last year.
Yeah, except HE DIDN'T START IT, MSM!
God, I'M SO SICK of the HORSE S*** LYING!!!!!!!!!
And the WHINING VICTIMIZATION of the AGGRESSORS!!!!!
"A year after Georgia-Russia war, refugees still coping with losses" by Sarah Marcus, Washington Post | August 16, 2009
TSEROVANI, Georgia - A neatly lined collection of bright green and whitewashed houses, Tserovani is the largest of 36 settlements established by the Georgian government. The authorities won praise last year for quickly building the settlements before the onset of winter.
But today, the limits of the settlements are obvious....
Still, the structures don’t leak and are equipped with indoor toilets and running water. In other settlements, the houses are damp and as many as eight families share a tap.
How about an ARTICLE on the PALESTINIAN REFUGEE CAMPS or GAZA, MSM?
How about an article covering the PAKISTAN REFUGEE CRISIS?
Yeah, I KNOW, DOESN'T ADVANCE the AGENDA, does it?
“The living conditions are really bad here,’’ said Neli Peruashvili, 53, a Georgian woman who fled her bomb-damaged house in the Ossetian village of Eredvi and now lives in a nearby settlement named Shavshebi. “We have no money. The water in the taps is too dirty to drink, so the men have to bring clean water from the next village by hand.’’
Oh, the poor Georgians!
Maybe you should speak to that SHIT HOLE GOVERNMENT of yours that STARTED IT ALL!!!!!!!
In a nation suffering the effects both of war and the global financial crisis, most displaced by the fighting survive on humanitarian aid and monthly government subsidies of $16 per person, because there are few jobs available. They joined a previous wave of more than 200,000 internal refugees from South Ossetia and the Black Sea region of Abkhazia who fled during the separatist wars fought in the 1990s after Georgia gained independence from the Soviet Union.

Tired of the ONE-SIDED KHAZAR GARBAGE yet?
The Georgians who fled South Ossetia are coming to grips with the reality that they may never return to homes and farmlands they struggled for years to accumulate.
Well, NOW YOU A**HOLES know what it feels like to be a PALESTINIAN!!!
The ethnic Ossetians, many of whom are married to Georgians, wonder when they will be able to see the relatives they left behind.
Oh, so NOW I AM REALLY WONDERING about the HOSTILITIES!!!!!!
CUI BONO?
Just as with the MUSLIM SECTARIANISM, here we have a PEOPLE who have LIVED TOGETHER and INTERMARRIED for CENTURIES "suddenly" at each others' throats, huh?
Oh, the STENCH of ZIONIST WAR AGITATION and PROPAGANDA!!!!
