Mike Sylwester:

“Now the international community should assemble the facts as objectively and correctly as it can.

As I said in the previous thread, Georgia’s President Saakashvili should be compelled to clarify his explanation that “the only option we had was to use long-range artillery” to destroy a key bridge near the city of Tskhinvali because “150 Russian tanks were approaching the region.” Exactly where were those Russian tanks while Georgian long-range artillery was bombarding the civilian population of Tskhinvali — oops, I meant to write: — bombarding a key bridge near Tskhinvali.”

Mik(hail) SylWester, You’re appear to be implying that the Georgians pulled a “Grozny” on Tskhinvali !
