So punk bully government in Georgia starts bombing S. Ossetia because they broke away. Russia steps up and kicks pissant Georgia's genocidal asse

Unfortunately, this seems to be the case. Notice georgy slithers off to some stoopid, useless, meaningless function, such as the Chinese olympics, right before the attack and genocide begins, to look all innocent.

Innocent, despite the American troops training and arming the Georgians, who have apparently attacked and murdered innocent, unarmed civialians.

Kinda like how he slithered off to a kindergarten class in FL to listen to the goat story while people were murdered on 911.

What seems beyond doubt is that the Georgian assault that began on Friday - after two weeks of increasingly heavy skirmishes between separatists and Georgian forces - was massive and indiscriminate as volleys of Grad missiles rained down on Tskhinvali and neighbouring villages.

Refugees also claimed that civilians were shot, kidnapped and burnt to death by rampaging soldiers in areas occupied by Georgian troops. Russian television has broadcast claims that Georgian troops 'executed' injured Russian peacekeepers based in Tskhinvali who were captured during the initial assault: 10 peacekeepers were killed and up to 150 injured during the rocket and air attack.

Among those fleeing was Lusya Khoriyeva, 40, a housewife from Tsunari in South Ossetia, one of an estimated 4,000-5,000 refugees who have arrived in the Russian North Ossetian capital of Vladikavkaz, in the past two days.

'I spent three days in our basement with two of my neighbours,' she said yesterday. 'The Georgians were bombing from the air and with Grad missiles. Then their tanks rolled into the village at 3am on Friday. People shouted, "Run, run!" We crawled out of the basement. Our Home Guard fighters were running too: their ammunition was finished. I saw one man hit by a rocket. It took off his head and splattered it against a wall.

'We crawled to a field of wheat. A shell landed near me, but did not explode. Another fell in the wheat and set it on fire. My robe was burning. I could hear girls screaming: "Don't kill me!" The Georgians were rounding them up. We escaped beyond the field. I came here in a car with 15 people in it. My son, my husband and my daughter are there. I don't know what has happened to them.'

Alisa Mamiyeva, 26, an English student from Znaur region, added: 'Georgian soldiers flung open the doors of our houses, marched in and destroyed everything. Women were hiding in barrels of salted cheese to avoid being taken.'

Another woman from the same area said: 'They are going from door to door, killing. A few of us escaped in a car but my brother and my aunt and uncle are still there.'

Zarema Kochieva, 45, the owner of a small shop in Tskhinvali, managed to flee with her two daughters to Vladikavkaz on Thursday. 'My husband stayed behind to fight,' she said. 'Our men have only automatic rifles against tanks. He told me he ran into our apartment. A Georgian tank saw him and fired at our apartment block, destroying half of it. There are constant firefights. I think my brother may be already dead.'

Anatoly Kabisov may not have been the first victim of South Ossetia's dirty little war; it seems certain he will not be the last. But he is emblematic, at least, of how, in a few short days, it spiralled out of control. In a conflict where truth and blame have been hard to determine, how he died represents the complaints of South Ossetia's Russian-speaking separatist movement in the run-up to war.

On the night of 1 August, they say, Kabisov, a separatist 'policeman' from the village of Mugat, was killed by Georgian fire from an outpost near the village of Dvani. As his comrades took his body to be buried, Georgians opened fire on the funeral procession as well.

Georgia has its own stories to explain the collapse into violence on Friday as the world sat down to watch the Olympic opening ceremony in Beijing. The day before Kabisov died, according to Saakashvili, separatists exploded a bomb next to a Georgian police car in the village of Eredvi, wounding six.

But if one thing was certain in Tskhinvali before the outbreak of war, it was that separatist leaders and their people were united in one certainty - if Georgia attacked, they would not be deserted.

'All we see is Georgia preparing for another war. But we won't be alone,' Boris Chochiev, the rebels' deputy foreign minister warned The Observer before the bombing in Eredvi. 'It would be a war of the Caucasian peoples against Georgia, and Russia would be obliged to protect its citizens. About 98 per cent of South Ossetians have Russian passports.'

'Stalin divided Ossetia between the Russia and Georgia, but you cannot split one heart in two,' 76-year-old Lev Valiev said in what was once Tskhinvali's sleepy main square. 'We should be reunited, like Germany was, and that means joining Russia. And if we have to fight for that, it would be the Caucasus versus Georgia.'

While the first statement has proved brutally true, the threat of the second is looming as across the Caucasus fighters have volunteered to join on the Russian side. In Chechnya, pro-Kremlin leader Ramzan Kadyrov offered his fighters as unlikely peacekeepers, despite their reputation for kidnap, torture and murder to quell a rebel insurgency. In Abkhazia and Dagestan, other volunteer units were forming, while Cossacks were also flocking to the cause.

And it is precisely this that may now be Georgia's greatest problem - that it has unleashed a wave of violent hatred against it across the region.'

'The West and Nato back the revanchist policies of Georgia. But in the Caucasus you can't arm one side to the hilt and expect the other side to take it,' Abkhaz foreign minister Sergei Shamba in the separatist capital of Sukhumi, warned before the outbreak of war.

For its part, Tbilisi insists there can be no compromise over South Ossetia being part of Georgia. Historically, however, the Ossetians have always been more allied to Russia than those who resisted the expansion of the Russian empire into the area in the 18th and 19th centuries, with many fighting alongside the Russians against neighbours who had long been rivals. Ossetians also allied with the Bolshevik forces when they occupied Georgia in the early 1920s.

You're a fucking idiot. Ossetia is PART OF GEORGIA. They have every right, as a sovereign nation to put down a rebellion in their territory. Russia, just like the US, has illegally invading another country and stuck it's fucking nose where it doesn't belong. Get a fucking clue you commie pinko piece of shit.

I have a better idea. Why don't you stick a shotgun in your mouth and pull the trigger? C'mon. Please. You know nobody will miss you. You know that you are the real piece of shit.

And, uh, no, you jackass, the government doesn't have a right to start bombing and murdering innocent civilians. Not here, not anywhere, and they are going to pay for that.

Ya might wanna watch this vid for the history:
