Did mercenaries help Georgia?

Russia Today

The president of South Ossetia claims mercenaries took part in Georgia’s offensive against the breakaway republic, according to Russia’s RIA news agency. Eduard Kokoity says Ukrainians, people from the Baltics as well as nationals from other countries were involved.

Kokoity said: “After the fighting in the city we found several bodies of citizens of the Baltic states and Ukraine. Later on I was informed that the bodies of several black men were found at the scene of a battle near school number 12″.

He also said some corpses had narrow eyes, typical of people of Asian origin.

South Ossetian officials say more than 2,000 of their civilians were killed in the attack. Georgia disputes this figure.

The Russian envoy in South Ossetia, Dmitry Medoyev, says the scene in Tskhinvali is horrific.

“The town looks like Stalingrad during WW2, with fallen trees, power lines, burnt Georgian tanks all over the streets. The dead bodies of Georgian soldiers are lying everywhere,” Medoyev said.

He also confirmed the South Ossetian President’s claim that foreign mercenaries took part in the onslaught.

“In yesterday’s attack, the advancing tanks were supposedly crewed by Ukrainians. Two unidentified bodies found today are said to have black skin. Possibly they are Americans but we can’t say for sure yet. We will be able to publish the official conclusions after carrying out special tests,” Medoyev said.

   I am certain Blackwater Int. was a main culperate in this.

   They provacatuer attacks to ensure extremely high profits.

   It’s called War profiteering.

   Hey DEEP RED - keep up with the racist bs….The NWO has no problem with race - so it flips your mind to hear about blacks (not the term you used) on the front lines in a European country - even though the same was the case back in the first World Wars. Bottom line, it will probably be a US homegrown, Blackwater paid black negro and Asian who kicks your door down in a hail of MP4 spray and stun grenades - while you scream
   ASIAN’S, NIGGER’S AND BEARS’S OH MY!

   The NWO continues to play on racial hatred and fear - which has allowed them to erode huge swaths of the constitution because white America only thought, illegal cash search and seizures, no knocks, profiling and Rodney King style beat downs only applied to Mexicans and Negroes. The law does not distinguish between races. Now we see white folks getting tasered to death, doors being kicked in and being harassed for the smallest of infraction. Stop being a sucker to the NWO!! All able bodied men and women (regardless of race) need to unite and demand justice for all - and fight the NWO!

   So, is that just spam soooj?
   Or is there something specific in a particular place we’re supposed to be looking at on that forum?
   Or are you just too God damned lazy to type a few words to direct us to it?
