my head is swimming

There are so many windows open on my monitor that I cannot get to what I need while trying to think about what I have to say on seriously not enough sleep. I dropped finally with all these red hot windows blazing themselves onto my eyeprints, but it's important that I try to spit this out now. Tried to earlier, but was just too fried.

Despite the overwhelming reports of the loosely-wrapped Saakashvili's perfidy here, there is reason to believe the attack on the peacekeepers in South Ossetia was a false flag. All those Israeli and American advisors and mercenaries in the area are reason enough, and Saakashvili could hardly object to that without being assassinated before he got out a sentence, so there is a heavy possibility the Russian General is just feeling the weirdness here.

But has anybody completely ruled out Russia itself?

I see people are beginning to gripe about how Russia was too prepared for this, but, sheesh, really, if they had not been, they'd have been as useless as * and Fudd. South Ossetia has been virtually Russia for sixteen years. They had vulnerable troops there, and a hostile maniac in Tbilisi. I can't imagine they needed to do anything so foul to be able to run in and finish whatever it was they wanted to finish. I think the scene with Georgia was at an impasse that rather suited them, and they have so much to do that would seem to argue against such adventurism.

So I don't think they did it. But I'd appreciate anyone with any decent information source to address this question of exactly who it was who attacked the Russian peacekeepers. I'd say it's at least as likely to be our American and Israeli black ops junkies as Saakashvili having a manic episode.

Truly. That was a S T U P I D thing to do.
