Russia Vs. Georgia: Reported By Pravda

Here is how the English language version of the state run Pravda (ironically enough meaning truth in Russian) reported on the war in Georgia.
The international community collectively held their breath waiting for the
reaction of Russia after the savage, brutal, criminal attack by Georgia on South
Ossetia. After having offered a cease fire in hostilities, the back stabbing
Georgians immediately violated the cease fire, invading South Ossetia and
causing massive destruction and death among innocent civilians, among
peacekeepers and also destroying a hospital

At approximately 11:30 p.m. Moscow time Georgians opened fire with heavy artillery from the side of the Georgian villages of Ergneti and Nikozi against the city of Tskhinval, the Defense Ministry of South Ossetia announced on Thursday. Georgian troops attempted to storm the city much as Hitler‘s Panzer divisions blazed through Europe. Also noteworthy is the fact that Georgian tanks and infantry were being aided by Israeli advisors, a true indicator that this conflict was instigated by outside forces.

Meanwhile, the western corporate media was maintaining a blackout of “the grand silence” on the aggression of Georgia. When they did finally report on it, they were as usual telling the story backwards with headlines such as “Russian Jets Attack Georgia” and “They Have Declared War Against Us” as though Georgia had not done anything wrong.

A large part of the capital of South Ossetia, Tskhinvali, has been destroyed along with five villages. South Ossetia reports that more than 1,600 people have been killed in the past 24 hours. There are also many casualties among peacekeepers and hospitals are said to be overflowing with victims.

Relating what has become common practice among war criminals, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov reported: "A Russian humanitarian convoy has come under fire. Panic is growing among the local population, and the number of refugees is increasing. There are reports of ethnic cleansing in some villages... The situation is ripe for a humanitarian catastrophe."


Usually, I have more to say but this "report" seems to speak for itself.
