Nahncee,

I’m talking about the Georgian attack on Tskhinvali the early morning of Aug. 7 with tanks and massed katyusha rockets. About 10 Russian soldiers were killed, as well as an unknown number of civilians.

You just don’t sneak attack populated areas with katyusha rockets.

I guess that we can’t expect the Georgians to adhere to American norms of warfare, but, the Soviet style attack will have consequences beyond subsequent events. Either lose Saakashvili or lose the disputed regions.
