Condoleeza Rice stated in a speech today that Georgia fired the first shot of the war in August. But she then went on to claim that Russia had been baiting them, and that Russia's response was disproportionate.
So Georgia bombs thousands of civilians in their beds, killing Russian peacekeepers in the process. Russia responded by taking out the Georgian/NATO military base at Gori and the Naval HQ at Poti so that Georgia could commit no further outrageous massacres of civilians in their beds, and is now withdrawing.
On the other hand, on 11th September 2001 the US military was suspiciously sound asleep, allowing a terrorist attack that killed thousands, which was used to send the US military into two highly strategic countries in accordance with plans laid out by elements of the interlocking Israeli/American political circle around Dick Cheney, and those troops are still there, making sure that Iraqi oil goes to Anglo-American oil companies, one of which Rice worked for.
Hmm.
One military operation was to protect civilians from a slippery tie-munching murdering bastard.
The other was a blatant imperialist oil grab.
Can you guess which is which?

Speaking at an event organised by the German Marshall Fund in Washington, Ms Rice acknowledged that Georgia had fired the first shots in the breakaway region of South Ossetia.
"The Georgian government launched a major military operation into Tskhinvali [the capital of South Ossetia] and other areas of that separatist region," she said.
"Regrettably, several Russian peacekeepers were killed in the fighting," she added.
