A number of experts agree the military conflict between Georgia and South Ossetia is not in Russia’s interests. The Former Georgian Foreign Minister Salome Zurabishvili says the United States could be partly responsible for the violence in South Ossetia.
In an interview with the France-Presse news agency she commented on the possible reasons behind the military conflict.
"There are many Americans in Georgia training the military forces of the country and monitoring the situation. As I understand, they also supervise the strategic corridor – the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan oil pipeline.
The main purpose behind the conflict is the further strategic orientation of Georgia and an opportunity for the West, I mean the USA and the EU, to count on Georgia and the Caucasus in ensuring the strategic provision of oil".
Professor Gerhard Mangott, from the Department of political science at the University of Innsbruck, shared his opinion on who stands to gain from the military escalation in the conflict zone.
"The military assault in South Ossetia was launched deliberately, and the question is by whom? Definitely, not by Russia, as it’s not in the country’s interests,” he said.
Bush’s Fault! I knew it!
Screw you all, good luck...
Right, just by Russian tanks, troops, canons, and planes....but hey, its the U.S.A.'s fault!
3...2...1..blaming the world’s problem’s on the USA right on schedule!
A number of these experts are idiots. This is exactly in line with Russian 'interests'. Doesn't make it right.
In other words, she's as clueless as our Nazi Pelosi.
If they really think we are the devil, then let's send them to Hell.
Dear Georgia,
Is there anything in the US military inventory that you would like to borrow?
Your pal,
Lend-Lease v2.0
Zurabishvili is a French nationalist who never visted Georgia until she was 34.

Yeah, the clock was ticking. You knew the MSM was desperately looking for an "official" person to officially pronounce the whole thing Bush's fault.
It has to be true, it comes from France, Austria and Russia.
The main purpose behind the conflict is the further strategic orientation of Georgia and an opportunity for the West, I mean the USA and the EU, to count on Georgia and the Caucasus in ensuring the strategic provision of oil”.
Huh, how can this conflict ensure oil to the USA and EU? That’s what Georgia and the BTC pipeline did before the conflict, now that’s in doubt. So we baited Russia into Georgia to somehow ensure Georgia’s strategic importance to the West.
Brilliant.

Totally aside from the obvious fallcay of an appeal to authority (argumentum ad verecundiam), the insipid phrase, "[a] number of experts agree," free of any specific examples, should automatically disqualify the succeeding words from any serious consideration.
I could see that on last night's, US time, Russia Today, mere hours after the Russian tanks began to roll.
“[a] number of experts agree,”
I’m guessing it’s experts in manipulating the French social welfare system that provided this particular person her opinion.
So what other country has a large inventory of Russian tanks, planes, and oh yea Russian troops, that can move into that area without pissing of oh um Russia?
