Besides the fog of war, any so called news from Russia hasn’t been accurate for about a century.

Of course the mediots on our side haven’t fit this into their agenda to elect Obama and to Blame GW, yet.

Domino's isn't pizza.

Poppa Johns I've had only once when my youngest son worked there during his freshman year of college. That pizza was good, but he made it the old fashioned way, just for his dad.
Don't know if there normally sold pizza really is pizza.

Georgia is the first country on earth to make Christianity its official religion. Like Armenia, it fell out of contact with the Greek Orthodox and Catholic worlds after the Turkish occupation of Asia Minor.

LoL ... very true.

Other sites are reporting that fighting has resumed. Aparently there was a short ceasefire but it has broken down. Reports are that Georgia is shelling Russian troops.

“Ft. Meade has its own Domino’s and Poppa Johns.”

“Aahh! The blessing of capitalism in our modern world!”

I have to be near starvation to try Domino’s. Poppa Johns on the other hand, mmmm!

THIS is Propoganda, from PRAVDA-

The two-faced, underhanded foreign policy of Georgia

“Ask anyone in the Caucasus region, and they will tell you never to trust a Georgian because they would shake your hand with a smile and then stab you in the back. On Friday morning, we saw a perfect example of this treachery, when hours after declaring a ceasefire, Georgian military units launched a savage attack on the civilians of South Ossetia.

Hours after Georgia President Mikhail Saakashvili, the pro-western Washington-backed anti-democratic stooge (attacks on opposition policians in Georgia are rife) declared a unilateral ceasefire, the Georgian army lanched a savage attack on the capital of the province of South Ossetia, Tskhinvali, with tanks and infantry, while the air force bombed a village and strafed a Russian humanitarian aid convoy.

According to South Ossetian government sources, there were many civilian casualties in the city of Tskhinvali, a large part of which was destroyed. The Parliament house has burned down and several buildings are on fire. Apart from this, Georgian Su-25 Frogfoot aircraft strafed civilians in the village of Kvernet and attacked a Russian humanitarian aid convoy.

"They could refuel in Iraq, but the stockpiles of heavy bombs and antiarmor weapons they need are not in Iraq, they are back at the bomber bases."


Not refuel from Iraq! I was refering to the bombers that bombed Iraq. They came from the U.S..

They can refuel anywhere in the world, with sovereign exceptions of course.

Actually, the “Wizard of Uh’s” doesn’t refer to Ted, but it is a Kennedy family malady. The original Wizard, according to Howie, is Joe Kennedy II, former congressman from MA. He can out-Uh his Uncle Ted any day, as hard as that may seem. Obama, however, is an up-and-comer for the true championship. Just take the script and teleprompter away and feed him an unexpected question.

There is nothing on DU yet.

I know, I noticed that too. Weird. Dumb*ss website they have, isn't? Really badly designed. CNN hasn't said a word yet either, that I've heard. They're not even scrolling anything at the bottom of the screen about it. Instead, they had on some dopey thing with Obama promising to provide free healthcare to the entire universe. ...Wait!! As I'm typing, they're just now, about 2 hours after FoxNews reported it, making a brief mention of it. There, it's over. Lasted about 10-15 seconds. They're now showing Mao posters hanging at Tienanmen Square.

Alot of fog of war, as there is with any war type breaking news story.

Headline from 8/2/38 -

Tokyo Tells of Shooting Down 5 Soviet Bombers in Korea

Headline from 8/8/08 -

Georgia official reports shootdown of two Russian aircraft

Reliable sources.

I'm surprised they don't have an option there for an English translation. Do they assume that all of their comrades here in the States and elsewhere know how to read Russian?

Thanks for the ping and link.

Sky news often does a better job than other agencies on these breaking stories.

Very interesting re the possible murder of the Georgian Billionaire at this same time line.
