Georgia Claims on Russia War Called Into Question

Condi Rice to Mikhail Saakashvili during her last visit to Georgia.

Incredible, caught this video at Informed Comment. Fox News interviews a 12 year old girl and her aunt from south Ossetia who were there during the hostilities. The girl and the aunt blamed the Georgian government, and Georgia's president Mikhail Saakashvili who is McCain's, the Neo-cons, and Rice's darling, for civil casualties in Ossetia and for starting the war. The reporter on Fox could not take it. Watch the video...


Another Neo-con puppet bites the dust.
UPDATE: Thanks to Erdla, I was able to watch this video which shows Saakashvili not only biting the dust but also eating his tie. In this video there is at least some honest reporting on the conflict and it comes from the BBC.
