Oh, yeah, it's an "update."
"South Ossetia fighting risks wider war" By Musa Sadulayev, Associated Press | August 8, 2008
DZHAVA, Georgia --Russia sent columns of tanks and reportedly bombed Georgian air bases after Georgia launched a military offensive to retake the breakaway enclave of South Ossetia, threatening to ignite a broader conflict.
Instead, the wording is subtely changed as if the AP is PUSHING ALONG the AGENDA and TRYING TO WIDEN the WAR!!!!!
I'm near the point of puking, readers!
Georgia, a staunch U.S. ally, launched an offensive to crush separatists. Georgia reported early Saturday that warplanes attacked three of its bases and some key oil facilities. The fighting... threatened to ignite a wider war between Georgia and Russia and escalate tensions between Moscow and Washington.
Look at how the ZIONIST AmeriKan press is trying to ADVANCE the AGENDA!!!
This is TERRIBLE JOURNALISM, readers!
And NO MENTION of ISRAEL'S ROLE, either!!!
Witnesses said the South Ossetian capital of Tskhinvali was devastated.
"I saw bodies lying on the streets, around ruined buildings, in cars," said Lyudmila Ostayeva, 50, who had fled with her family to Dzhava, a village near the border with Russia. "It's impossible to count them now. There is hardly a single building left undamaged."
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice urged Russia to halt aircraft and missile attacks and withdraw combat forces from Georgian territory. Rice said in a statement the United States wants Russia to respect Georgian sovereignty and agree to international mediation.
She is a fine one to talk about respecting people's sovereignty!!!
I mean, the hypocrisy that comes out of these people's mouths literally makes you want to puke shit!!!!
Georgia, a staunch U.S. ally, has about 2,000 troops in Iraq, making it the third-largest contributor to coalition forces after the U.S. and Britain. But Saakashvili told CNN the troops would be called home Saturday in the face of the South Ossetia fighting.
A senior U.S. defense official said Georgian authorities have asked the United States for help getting their troops out of Iraq.Again, all part of the plan!
Makes you wonder WHO really is responsible for "terrorism," doesn't it?
Couldn't be a BETTER TIME for those Georgian troops to be on the move!!!
Eduard Kokoity, the leader of South Ossetia's rebel government, said about 1,400 people were killed in the onslaught, the Interfax news agency reported. The toll could not be independently confirmed.
Twelve Russian troops were killed and 30 wounded when their barracks were hit in Georgian shelling, said Russian Ground Forces spokesman Col. Igor Konashenkov. Some villagers were fleeing into Russia.

Now, please, please explain to me, readers, why the BG edits the stuff?
"I saw them [the Georgians] shelling my village," said Maria, who gave only her first name. She said she and other villagers spent the night in a field and then fled toward the Russian border as the fighting escalated.
The UN refugee agency said yesterday that hundreds were fleeing the fighting in South Ossetia and seeking safety elsewhere in Georgia or Russia. The International Committee of the Red Cross, citing local medical officials, said Tskhinvali's main hospital had closed after coming under artillery fire.
Water, electricity, and telephone lines in the city have been cut, ICRC spokeswoman Maia Kardava said from the Georgian capital, Tblisi."
Now WHY WOULD the Zionist-controlled, agenda-pushing propagandists of the western media want to HIDE THOSE FACTS FROM YOU, American viewer and reader?
HELLO?!!!!!!!!!!
USraeli WAR CRIMES are CENSORED in the ZIONIST-CONTROLLED AmeriKan MSM!!!!
WASHINGTON - The United States urged Russia yesterday to halt aircraft and missile attacks in Georgia's breakaway region of South Ossetia and withdraw its combat forces from Georgian territory as the situation in the former Soviet state verged on full-scale war.
The White House said President Bush discussed the situation with Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin while both leaders were in Beijing for the start of the Olympics. And Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice called the parties involved in hopes of ending the fighting, and made plans to send a US envoy to the region.
"The United States calls for an immediate ceasefire to the armed conflict in Georgia's region of South Ossetia," Rice said in a statement. "We call on Russia to cease attacks on Georgia by aircraft and missiles, respect Georgia's territorial integrity and withdraw its ground combat forces from Georgian soil."
Rice also said Russia should respect Georgian sovereignty and agree to international mediation to end the crisis that threatens to engulf the volatile region. "We urgently seek Russia's support of these efforts," she said.
I mean, come on; this is pure diarrhea drivel coming from her and the slavish MSM!
This article and the "diplomacy" is all FOOLEY BULLS****!!!!
Are we leaving Iraq like some in the world have called for?
US-allied Georgia launched a surprise military offensive to retake South Ossetia earlier yesterday, reportedly killing hundreds of people and triggering a ferocious counterattack from Russia, which has sent tanks across the border and reportedly bombed Georgian air bases.
Gee, that's an unusual bit of candor and truth from the MSM in that last paragraph.
How did that get in there?

Of course, more typical of the western media reporting is this:
"Power play a big gamble for nation" by Jim Heintz, Associated Press | August 9, 2008
MOSCOW - The West, already deeply concerned about Russia's rising military assertiveness, is likely to see Russia's involvement as naked aggression and its frequent calls for peace as disingenuous.

Yeah, that's more like it!
