They talked of hiding in the woods, being mocked by Georgian soldiers and passing the dead on the roadside.
The hundreds of refugees from the fighting in the Georgian breakaway region sought shelter in Russia on Sunday. They were among thousands who fled the region, and in particular the capital city of Tskhinvali, in recent days as Georgian forces battled for control.
Sample of the BS in this article...
“The Georgians burned all of our homes,” said one elderly woman, as she sat on a bench under a tree with three other white-haired survivors.
“If you beat a dog, it will run away,” she said, bitterly. “If we become part of Russia, I think that the way we live will in many ways be better than it is now.”
Yea right! Even Russia has admitted they bombarded South Ossetians which caused the damage.
Naked propoganda from the AP? Say it ain’t so...
If the Russians were justified, they would not kick out Western Media outlets, in kicking even the luke warm Western Outlets out, they have something very nasty planned for the Georgians.
They reduced Grozny to rubble, who knows what they will do to Tblisi?
Some people are calling this article BS. Yes, now the AP is ‘conspiring’.

New AP policy is “excerpt always.”

I didn’t know there was a new AP policy.
Duly noted.
