Did McCain’s Guy Abduct Ossetians?
Putting all of McCain’s pro-Georgia bluster aside, one can see that Saakasvili set out to what looks like ethincally targeted violence when he launched his military escapade against South Ossetia. It is only through McCain’s revisionist history that one can forget that Georgia started it:
Georgian troops arrived Khetagurovo on August 8 in a storm of steel and bullets, killing eight people and badly damaging the village of ethnic South Ossetians.
When they left two days later, harried by the Russian forces that crushed Tbilisi’s bid to restore control over its breakaway region, locals say their took four prisoners with them and forfeited any chance of reconciliation.
