The truth is that Georgia attacked the Russian peacekeepers in South Ossetia and murdered civilians there.
South Ossetia is something like %70 Russian. There had been both Russian and Georgian peacekeepers there and the Georgians turned their guns on Russians. This is pretty much never mentioned in the MSM- who have done everything they can to vilify Russia over this situation.
Both Presidential candidates (and now Sarah Palin as well) have expressed their outrage over Russian actions. Here is a quote from Palin's ABC interview
Quote:
“We have to keep our eyes on Russia, under the leadership there. I mean, that is the agreement when you are a NATO ally. If another country is attacked, you’re going to be expected to be called upon and help…. For Russia to have exerted such pressure in terms of invading a smaller, democratic country, unprovoked, is unacceptable.”
One would expect the Obama campaign to be nailing Palin for this.
Especially when we learn that one of McCain's top aides, Randy Scheunemann, is a former lobbyist for Georgia.
But I can guarantee that you won't here any sort of criticism from the Obama camp re McCain/Palin's Georgian stance.
This is because Obama's top foreign affairs advisor is Zbigniew Brzezinski who is incredibly hawkish towards Russia.
So why is the entire American political establishment and MSM lying and distorting the facts about Russia?
