Yes, you are. Apologies for my mix up with CIA/DIA. The headlines says Russian soldiers.
That's because they soldiers who have Russian citizenship and Russian training. They are Russian soldiers.
It would be like Iraq troops filmed in U.S. combat gear and committing a transgretion.
If those Iraqis had US citizenship and US military regulars were providing the sort of support the Russian military is providing, then the US military would be to blame.
Again totally incorrect on the military situation on the ground.
Yes, you are. You are absolutely refusing to admit the facts, which are that Russian military troops are overseeing the looting of Georgia. They are clearing out any resistance, and then allowing the rest of their forces (the "South Ossetian" irregulars as you are calling them, who are people that have been trained by Russia and have Russian citizenship) to move along with them and steal everything in sight.
I also don’t condone the actions of Georgian irregulars for their part in the conflict as you appear to be doing
Typical leftist. When you can't argue the facts you make up your own.
Georgian irregulars have blood on their hands in this conflict too which you are seeming to appease just because you believe that their actions have some justification.
Again, another typical leftist tactic. You seem to think you can get away with asserting some form of moral equivalence between a potential murderer and a victim who successfully resists, or a robber and someone with a gun protecting their own property. As has already been mentioned, the only thing this proves is that you are completely lacking of any moral sense.
Leftist?! Is that the best that you can do? The title of the newspaper is still incorrect. They are NOT Russian soldiers. They are NOT part of the Russian Army. Just because a civilian puts on some combat fatigues, picks up a weapon and goes on a looting rampage doesn’t make him a Russian soldier.
Again another cry of leftist! You are making general assumptions here. Completely incorrect. I have no political affiliations and have never voted as is my right.
Yet again your only line is that the Georgians are completley innocent in all of this. No side in this conflict is innocent. You seem to have your own black and white version of this conflict and can only see the side of the Georgians repulsing a bully and aggressor.
Obviously you believe every single word that Saakashvili utters in countless interviews. Georgian paramilitaries and irregulars are not squeaky clean in this whole affair. Not my fault that you are blinkered to the realities of the situation.
