You should thank Mr. Saakashvili for starting the war in his own country. How could this coward be the commander-in-chief of your proud nation?

I know a lot of Georgians who are plain ashamed of him.

[MarMema]

I know a few myself. That has no bearing on the fact that Russia invaded them and needs to go home.

[alarm rider]

Oh of course. Russia is totally innocent. Meek, mild peaceful Russia. Yeah, that huge war machine that is Georgia...

Watch the Rice video. She said that the Russians "attacked" Georgia.

So I sent the link for this thread to my friend in Tbilisi and she asked me to post this reply to you

"My reply to him/her -
After Russia's aggression Georgians stood and are standing together. President of Georgia, Mr. Saakashvili has NO opposition now.
Please, be careful to use words like "coward" when you speak about the president, who is elected by the people. And one more: write to all that Georgians, who are ashamed of their president what you wrote and then PLEASE, write me their reaction.
I am sure, it will be the good lesson for you."

[Jeff Head]

I know very few who are ashamed of him. To the contrary, the scenes in Tiblisi with hundreds of thosuands turning out in support of the President and to hear him speak while the Russians were still attacking, indicate that he has the vast majority of Georgians behind him.

And well he should

As to "starting" a war by Georgia, that is pure rubbish.

The latest fighting started oin August 1st when the seperatists began shelling a Gerogian villatge. Georgia responded and there was heavy fighting through August 6th. Then, on August 7th, a cease fire was signed, but later that day, another Georgian village was shelled and the Georgian Army, instructed to do so by their President, then moved into the province and took the capital.

That is when Russia invaded. And they invaded with such force on the 8th and then opened another front on the 9th with amphibious landings that it is obvious to anyone who knows anything about military logistics that the Russians had been prepared and waiting to invade. You do not put together those kinds of forces in a few hours or a few days...the plan was probably set in motion weeks before.

This makes it clear that the Russians most probably instigated the attacks on Georgia and provoked the Georgians to respond so they would have the pretext for invasion.

The Georgian President was elected by the Georgians and I will wager you that in the next election he will win by a landslide becaus e he stood up to the Russain Bear and their proxies in his own country.

Marmema, please forward this to your friends there in Georgia so they will know that there are many Americans who know exactly what happened and are supporting them...including our current President, and the next one, John McCain.
