Russian Tanks ‘Heading For Tbilisi’
Sky News
Wednesday, August 13, 2008
A column of Russian tanks has been seen heading from the Georgian city of Gori towards the capital, Tbilisi, amid reports killing and looting is taking place.
A Sky News team has been robbed at gunpoint on the outskirts of Gori by men thought to be South Ossetian separatist militia. Sky News presenter Andrew Wilson said he could not be sure the men who had pulled their car over were South Ossetian, but they did not seem to be Russian.

He said the attackers were “wired” and very aggressive, pressing a gun to the head of their driver, and did not respond when shown British passports and told their victims were journalists.
They took their car and equipment, forcing them to return to Gori on foot.
Sky News correspondents Stuart Ramsay and Jason Farrell confirmed there were tanks on the streets in Gori, which has suffered extensively from Russian bombing raids.
Ramsay said the town was “completely surrounded” and that locals were terrified of attacks by irregular separatist forces fighting alongside the Russians.
Farrell said he had seen them patrolling the streets and that a team of Norwegian journalists had been robbed in the centre of the town.
He added that people were fleeing the area and there were reports of fighting which he could not confirm, although he could see smoke rising in the distance.
“(The tanks) just rolled past us with their guns at the ready, definitely looking like they were ready to engage,” he said.
“It’s the same scenes as we were seeing at the beginning of the conflict. As far as the people here are concerned, the politicians may be talking about peace but there’s really no sign of it here.”
Anatoly Nagovitsyn, the Russian military’s deputy chief of staff, categorically denied that there were any tanks on the streets of Gori.
In addition Russia denied that tanks were making their way toward Tbilisi.
Earlier, the leaders of Russia and Georgia formally agreed to stop fighting – but each side accused the other of war crimes.

Is this just a global form of instilling terror in the minds of the people? Mc insane and all the neocons are acting like their tough words are going to get russia out of the region. I have doubts about what Russia is doing here, hell I have no idea what really is happening as the reports are all conflicted. It just seems to me that the neocons are looking to gain from this.
Look at who is to gain from this.
Look at all the hype from the war mongering neocons and controlled media.
Are the neocons and controlled media looking to get people to trust them again and Russia helping them do so?
Dould this be the false flag terror attack we have been looking for?
Do you trust Russia?
Do you trust the neocons?
Do you trust the media?
Who is gonna gain from this?

This all reminds me of Hitler’s operation Fall Weiss (White Plan) where the Germans attacked their own radio tower and blamed it on the Poles in order to justify waging a war against Poland to take that strategic “corridor”

The pity here is that there are WAY more than just Russian troops in this country. People are seriously taking the piss in the media. Chechnyans, “South Ossetians”, and many other assimilated states are being the oppurtunistic whores they always have been.

This “news” has already been proven false by reliable sources.
Furthermore, maybe this is just what needs to be done.
Putin’s Action Prevented WWIII
August 12, 2008 (LPAC)–By acting to defend Russian citizens against a terrorist-type attack by the Soros government of Georgia, Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has delivered a decisive defeat to the British Empire, said Lyndon LaRouche today. Any capitulation by Russia to the criminal aggression by the Soros puppet government of Mikheil Saakashvili would have been tragic for civilization.
Putin’s action was objectively required, LaRouche continued. He was absolutely correct. He and President Medvedev could see that the British Empire, with its U.S. appendages, and its tool George Soros, was heading to consolidate its world empire. The British, and Putin, knew that the only obstacle to their plan at this time, is Russia, with its thermonuclear capability. If Russia had submitted to the terms being dictated by the British, the world would have been on the road to World War III.

During the night of August 7, coinciding with the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics, Georgia’s president Saakashvili ordered an all-out military attack on Tskhinvali, the capital of South Ossetia.
The aerial bombardments and ground attacks were largely directed against civilian targets including residential areas, hospitals and the university. The provincial capital Tskhinvali was destroyed. The attacks resulted in some 1500 civilian deaths, according to both Russian and Western sources. “The air and artillery bombardment left the provincial capital without water, food, electricity and gas. Horrified civilians crawled out of the basements into the streets as fighting eased, looking for supplies.” (AP, August 9, 2008). According to reports, some 34,000 people from South Ossetia have fled to Russia. (Deseret Morning News, Salt Lake City, August 10, 2008)

Now they headed there again?
Finally, they must have stopped to ask directions or get a roadmap. Thats why the military should have women in it. Otherwise, we males would never get there.
