"In May and June the Russian generals were seriously planning the start of military operations in the Kodori Gorge. Militants needed a new war in order to stay on top of military processes, and wanted something similar to the Chechen campaign with absolutely identical goals. When this Blitzkrieg was ruined in Kodori, shots started in Tskhinvali. It is noteworthy that Kokoity found himself in Sokhumi when the shooting began, right next to the very generals that were interested in starting a war. A new Caucasian war means new banknotes from the Kremlin, and Tskhinvali and South Ossetia are ideal places for generals to launder their war budgets. The joint enterprise between Kokoity and the Russian FBI is ready and willing to consume this money allotted against Saakashvili and NATO. Obviously, everything comes back to finances in the end."
