Georgien

[Kosmos]

Überhaupt gibts es keine halbwegs zuverlässige Informationen über Verlauf der Kämpfe, z.B. die Aussage in diesem Artikel von Guardian:
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/aug/10/georgia.russia5">http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/au ... ia.russia5</a><!-- m -->

At a field hospital close to the registration point surgeons attended to wounded soldiers. One South Ossetian serviceman was furious that Russia had not intervened to help earlier.

"Where was Russia?" he shouted. "Where were the Russian troops for the first three days? Now they say on television that Russia defended us, they saved South Ossetia, but that's rubbish.

"Russian tanks only came this morning when we had already pushed the Georgian forces out of Tskhinvali. We did it – Ossetians, ourselves, at the cost of many lives. And Russia came only at the end to take up positions that we had already won. And now I'm lying here and my friends go on dying there."

ich habe diese Aussage gestern in einem blog gelesen.
EDIT anscheinend hat der Besitzer dieses blogs die Informationen an guardian verkauft/weitergeleitet.
