Opener of the Way User ID: 484563 United States 08/20/2008 06:50 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Russia says 64 soldiers dead in fight with Georgia [link to www.msnbc.msn.com] updated 27 minutes ago MOSCOW - A top Russian general said Wednesday that 64 of the country's soldiers were killed in this month's fighting with Georgia and 323 were wounded. The figure given by Col. Gen. Anatoly Nogovistsyn, deputy head of the general staff, reduces the fatality toll from the initial figure of 74 but substantially raises the number of wounded. Russia previously had said about 170 were wounded. Earlier this month, Georgia cracked down on the breakaway territory of South Ossetia, which is aligned with Moscow and wants independence. Russia responded by sending its troops and tanks across the Georgian border. Georgian officials have said they lost 160 soldiers and that 300 are missing. Russia claims Georgian losses are much higher. Civilian casualties remain unclear. South Ossetian officials on Wednesday said 1,492 civilians in the breakaway province had been killed. The figure could not be verified independently. "Humanity's suffering is pushing it to it's birth."

If there really had been that body count the pictures would be all over the net instead of just the photos of Georgian military that were killed. "Everybody lies." |
Opener of the Way User ID: 484563 United States 08/20/2008 08:48 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Weren't there reports that people were having to bury their own dead? Most without coffins? Perhaps if they had waited longer so they could line up the rotting bodies of their dead relatives and friends for an official count there would not be all this confusion?

Quoting: Opener of the WayPerhaps if they had waited longer so they could line up the rotting bodies of their dead relatives and friends for an official count there would not be all this confusion? I'm sure there are many excuses of no proof whatsoever. Another question. How many of these claimed deaths of civilians were actually S. Ossetian separatist militants actually involved in the fighting? We haven't seen ANY claims of these casualties, I'm sure they are counted as civilians to inflate the figures in an opportunistic propagandist way. We know your methods. "Everybody lies." |
