sounds about right.

And Quarter of all Democrats blame U.S. for conflict

More like 90 percent of Democrats.

[diamond6]

We get blamed for everything, this is no surprise.

[rightinthemiddle]

A quarter of the world blames the U.S. for everything.

Two-thirds of Democrats blame the U.S. for everything. The other third enables them to do so.

Quarter of Russians blame U.S. for conflict - poll

That just shows that Russia has its hand full with idiots.

Want to see the man responsible for this problem? Look at Putin.

"No the question is: who had troops on whose sovereign soil?"

We need to see the Pentagon's sat. photo's. No doubt there are stacks of them.

I wonder what Bush's visit not long ago was really about as well.
For some reason Georgia felt confident enough to move. Too many unanswered questions to really get a good read on what the Pentagon is thinking.

And then there's the Ukraine and parts of poland, also very near showdown alert.

I was curious what Russian people think about this conflict when I visited one of the Russian on-line forums. Some of the members also blame Jews.

[Righter-than-Rush]

The Russians I know aren’t worth a hoot, so why would I care abou thow they poll?

[Repeal 16-17]

Russians will believe what Czar Vladimir tells them to believe. Remember, he controls all media in the Russian Empire.

[weegee]

Does Pastor Jeremiah Wright have a finger he can point here?

[zimfam007]

So, we are supposed to believe that this poll is accurate ...and what is supposed to make me believe that this isn’t part of a larger psychological operations campaign????... ahhhh.....how soon we forget.

[wideawake]

The issue is being couched in Russia's terms.

Georgia didn't move first. Russia moved first.

The existing situation in South Ossetia was that Russian troops and Ossetian irregulars patrolled the Ossetian villages in South Ossetia and that Georgian soldiers and Georgian police patrolled the Georgian villages in South Ossetia.

Almost two weeks ago, this uneasy, unspoken agreement was breached when IEDs were set off killing Georgian policemen on their routine rounds.

This was followed up by artillery shelling of Georgian villages from artillery emplacements in Ossetian villages.

It is clear in retrospect that these IEDs and this shelling was not simply the work of overeager Ossetian irregulars, but a deliberate provocation by Russia - which quickly mobilized forces to the Georgia border within hours of Georgia initiating some retaliatory shelling.

Russia escalated and Georgia reacted - not the other way around.

And Quarter of all Democrats blame U.S. for conflict - poll

I'd bet 75% of DUmmies, KOmmies and HUfpos blame the U. S. for this conflict.

[calex59]

What they really meant to say was that 75 percent of Russians don’t blame the USA.

[bert]

Flipped, it is really a telling statistic. They know the real score. Nztionalism and the ghost of Catherine the Great are to be blamed

[Repeal 16-17]

I'd bet 75% of DUmmies, KOmmies and HUfpos blame the U. S. for this conflict.

I'll raise you. I say at least 95% of the above blame the USA for everything that goes wrong in the world.

If you remember in April a MIG 29 shot down one of Georgia's Israeli made UAV's. The Russians claimed it was a Abkhaz L-39 - obviously it was not.

25% of Russians think we are to blame?? Are those the people who lives in one of Obama’s ‘57 states’? It is time we tell Putin to ‘Go F himself’.

[Arrowhead1952]

Well, I was giving them a tiny bit of credit.

[Joe Boucher]

Yeah, that’s right. As a conservative White Christian I am the cause of the worlds woes.
I personally am responsible for Russia invading Georgia, I am responsible for slavery (even though blacks mostly were sold in to slavery by their own kind). The American Indian and their demise is my fault as is the eath of Christ.

Hey russia, f.u. , try treating other countries with respect rather then a boot across the throat.
Stupid third world crap hole.
