A former Georgian ambassador to Russia has caused uproar in Georgia by saying his country, not Russia, started August’s war over South Ossetia. Will the messenger be killed now? Of course, Mr Kitsmarishvili still doesn’t have it right since it was the Republican Party in the US that started this war, not just the Georgian dictator, Saakashvili.

Come meet the new boss, same as the old boss. You got fooled again! If you thought Obama would be Clinton II, guess again. He’s now looking more like Bush III. Told ya’ our “democracy” was a sham. The only thing that has changed, is the meaning of “change.” Orwell would be proud.

United for Peace and Justice is the national group that pretends to be the leadership for ‘Peace’ inside the US, yet they cannot even bring themself to speak out against the US war upon the people of Afghanistan! I call them ‘Peace’crats because they talk about PEACE in the abstract all the time, yet remain totally tied to the Democratic Party and do not actively oppose the war of US occupation of Afghanistan or speak out forcefully against it!

This is about, of course, the massive disconnect from reality shown by the “Nationalists” in the Bush Regime.
