 clipped from www.davidwarrenonline.comAs I write this, I have just read a short account -- an admirable piece by a BBC correspondent in the Black Sea port of Poti, Georgia, writing without their permission right under their noses -- of the Russians “in control and on the move.” Together with many other short reports from around Georgia, it makes clear that the Russians are not observing the ceasefire agreement that President Sarkozy of France brought to Moscow, and induced the President of Georgia to sign; and that their purpose from the start was not to “free South Ossetia” (easily accomplished, given its tiny size), but rather to make an example of Georgia.
We should not forget this when listening to Russian assurances on other topics |
