US official: Russia damaging Georgian airfields

Russia apparently is sabotaging airfields and other military infrastructure in Georgia as its forces pull back, in a deliberate attempt to cripple the already battered, U.S.-trained Georgian military, a U.S. ...

French and German hypocrisy and imbecilic thinking caused the problem: "Let's keep democratic Georgia out of NATO to appease neofascist Russia so we can get our gas"

Foolish Angela Merkel started this crisis by denying Georgia access to NATO MAP.

Th illegal and barbaric "scorched earth" invasion of democratic Georgia by neofascist Russia is also a very sad commentary on eight years of self-delusion in the White House regarding psychopathic Putin.

When Bush first met Putin and said he looked into his soul and could trust him.

Not long ago, Condi Rice claimed that American relations with Russia have never been better in history

Putin, who planned the dirty trick Pearl Harbor style invasion, on the opening of the Olympics has tried to make a fool of Bush.

Even with a limp American response, Georgia's friends like Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Ukraine and others must stand up to Russia now to ensure the Russians fail in Georgia, or else it will be a Russian invasion of Ukraine next.

If attacked, democratic Ukraine must be prepared to unflinchingly devastate all neofascist Russia's gas pipelines and infrastructure as a deterrent and as a retaliation of Russian aggression.

This will be the smoky outcome of foolish and Pollyanish Merkel's and Sarkozy's trust of Putin.

Russia "used cluster bombs" in Georgia - rights group

TBILISI (Reuters)- A U.S. human rights group on Friday accused Russia of dropping cluster bombs in populated areas of Georgia during its military offensive that began last week, but Moscow denied the charge.

Human Rights Watch said Russian aircraft had used cluster bombs in two separate raids on the towns of Ruisi and Gori on Tuesday, Aug. 12, killing at least 11 civilians and injuring dozens.

Asked about the report, the deputy chief of Russia's General Staff, Colonel-General Anatoly Nogovitsyn, told a news conference: "We never use cluster bombs. There is no need to do so."

The Gori strike killed at least eight, Human Rights Watch said, including a Dutch cameraman. An Israeli journalist was among the wounded and an armoured vehicle belonging to Reuters news agency was perforated with shrapnel.

Reuters reporters on the ground could not immediately verify the cause of the rapid series of explosions near the main square in Gori, nor who might have been responsible.

The journalists were covering the aftermath of a Georgian pullout from the town after days of heavy fighting with Russian forces 25 km north in South Ossetia.

"Cluster bombs are indiscriminate killers that most nations have agreed to outlaw," said Marc Garlasco, senior military analyst at Human Rights Watch.

The rights watchdog cited interviews with victims, doctors and military personnel, as well as photos of craters and video footage of the Gori attack, to support its assertion that Russia had used cluster bombs.

It said video showed more than two dozen simultaneous explosions during the attack, characteristic of cluster bombs. The munitions contain dozens or hundreds of smaller submunitions or bomblets and explode across a broad area.

Reuters journalists had witnessed Russian jets bombing what appeared to be Georgian artillery positions on hillsides above the town earlier the same morning.

More than 100 nations have agreed to ban the use of cluster bombs. Russia has not.

The group called on Russia to provide "precise date on its cluster attacks in order to facilitate clean up of the inevitable lingering contamination from cluster bomb submunitions that failed to explode on contact but remain deadly."
