Russian jets attack Georgian town

Russian jets attack Georgian town

Russian jets have carried out strikes on military targets in the central Georgian town of Gori, close to the breakaway region of South Ossetia.

Most of the targets seem to have been military bases, but Georgian officials said a number of civilians had been killed in residential buildings.

Russia said it had "liberated" the South Ossetian capital, Tskhinvali.

Earlier, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said his country was seeking "to force the Georgian side to peace".

What a coincidence as the world is distracted by the Olympics Russia attacks Georgia. This nonsense of "liberated" has all the hallmarks of the American invasion of Iraq. Attacking a country which is an act of war and claiming that the purpose is to seek to force the other country to peace just does not add up. Once more, it would appear that this is all to do with oil.
