    Photos from the war in S. Ossetia

    Great photos:

    War in South Ossetia - The Big Picture - Boston.com

    Great site for background of the Ossetians -- the ancient Alans, some of which wound up in Chalons, France, Spain, and eventually in North Africa. Hey -- they could be related to Barak Hussein Obama!

    Ossetians - Ossetian-Alanian history

    Russian news clip dubbed in English from the original attacks. Propaganda, but I give them their due -- well done it is.

    YouTube - Russian troops in Tskhinvali to help stop violence

    Have a really good day and don't lose your sense of humor over this. And if you really feel hot about this issue, don't advocate sending somebody else's son to go fight, go yourself or shut up.

    Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili, in the AP photo, being escorted. He is around alot of civilans, not normally how you would see the President of Georgia , surronded by bodyguards, in a backstreet ally, being escorted.

    WTF? Anyone actually saw this on BBC or is this some kind of video editing?

    Wired.com questioning "authenticity" of some of the Georgian photos picked up from a particular Georgian photographer that was employed by Reuters.

    Possibly Staged Pics Fueled Georgian Propaganda Push | Danger Room from Wired.com

    If you go to the article, you can see one photo where one of the dead bodies is clasping the arm of one of the people carrying him. )

    Several vids of Georgian soldiers on 08.08.08, presumably taken on mobile phone camera by a Georgian soldier, killed in Tskhinvali.

    Oh, and another thing - last vid is NOT taken on 08.08.08, it is taken earlier.
