TBILISI, Georgia -- Russia's foreign minister is disputing Georgia's claim that its troops have pulled out of South Ossetia, the separatist region where fighting with Russian forces has killed hundreds this weekend. Earlier Sunday, Georgia said its troops were withdrawing and President Mikhail Saakashvili said he was calling a cease-fire. But Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov disputed that in a telephone call with his Georgian counterpart Eka Tkeshelashvili, a ministry statement said. In the call, "the Russian side brought in facts about the presence of Georgian forces in certain neighborhoods of Tskhinvali," the South Ossetian capital where fighting has been heaviest, the statement said.

The “human rights groups” must be on vacation. Can’t the U.S. Supreme Court DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS??
Maybe Pelosi will adopt a resolution to sue them. That’ll make it stop for sure!
Good point! Where are the ‘RATS? Where is Fat Jack Murtha? (On vacation with the “human rights groups?”) Where’s the almighty U.N.?
Good questions.
It’s still August 2005 on the Moonbat Calender...
Without much detail, like location, it is impossible to tell if Russia or Georgia did the killing in the photos. Just like in KosovO, we may be on the wrong side again.

Russia has veto power in the Security Council, and I don’t expect them to repeat the dumb moves they made at the start of Korea.
Stalin had pushed the North Koreans to cross the 38th, and temporarily boycotted the UN to assure US entry into the conflict under the mantle of the UN. He knew Truman could not be counted upon to defend South Korea otherwise. Newly Communist China was thereby forced to go to war with the US, to avoid having a unified ,free and democratic Korea on its northern flank. The US got handed a disaster, China became dependent upon Russia for over two decades and the Korean peninsula stayed just as it was befor Stalin orchestrated the whole affair. Don’t be misled, Russia made brilliant moves at the start of Korea.
We shouldn’t be on any side. This is Russia’s backyard, let them do what they want there.
That first picture, it looks like some chaps legs and feet to the right of the woman’s left shoulder. Sad.
Yeah, and Poland was in Hitler's backyard.
What? Godwin's Law, you say? But it was the Russian ambassador to the U.N. who played the "genocide" card.

To be honest, I am not expecting much of a response to the question.
My original observation stands: The UN will not/can not do anything about Georgia.
I totally agree with you
We can, and must begin a total economic boycott of Russia.
We've pulled that trick too many times. A general boycott by the US doesn't do much good.
We need to require other states to participate in the boycott, if they are to have access to U.S. markets.
What is it about liberals that they hate anyone that reminds them that there are consequences to our actions in life?
