In the modern world you cant wage a war just with your tanks and planes.
You have to use media. In Germany during WWII they would say "Truth is not what happened, truth is what we tell people".
Yesterday
Russian military aircrafts bombed several Georgian military bases. It
worth mentioning that military men are located in the a five-storied
buildings which look exactly alike residential. The reason for this is
simple, they were built in the Soviet Union times and there was not
much diversity in architecture.

This morning (its 7 a.m. Moscow time right now) one can read on the BBC news site. Russia deaf to Western voices,
Reuters agency posts a horrible pictures of Russian bombardments of
allegedly civilian residential buildings. But what if you take a closer
look?

Warning: the pictures contain scenes with blood and allegedly injured people.

For
instance on this picture you can see one obviously dead body of a
person in a checkered shirt. The other body is carried by medics,
carried as if it was a dead body, but you can notice that the hand of a
person is holding a woman medic's sleeve. Well so far everything looks
pretty real, except maybe for one guy in black who doesn't look anyhow
concerned.





Now
on this picture we see a crying man and a body in his hands. But look
closely! This is the same checkered shirt, same trousers and shoes, the
same person. So does it mean that the crying man took the body brought
it some place else? Hardly so, this is just one of the participants of
the show. And again if you look close enough you can notice that the
guy crying is the person in black from the previous picture.





Now here he is again, alone still with some clothes on, or may be he got changed.





Generally
if you see the pictures you can notice that nothing happens around the
scene. No people running, and there are actually not a lot of people
for a big residential building area if it was really bombed.

Well,
I'm cant be sure that some Russian rockets didn't hit by accident some
building adjacent to a military base, but look, they ruinedTskhinvally.
They did it on purpose, and now they blame us! They started military
offence in the first day of Olympics. Bombed Russian peacekeepers
barracks and Russia is to be blamed? No, I don't think so.

Now,
look at the other side. There's no pictures from the capital of South
Ossetia which is totally ruined now, and the good reason we don't have
pictures from where is because when there's no power for your
equipment, even satellite link would be hardly of any use. And if you
have a tape, you have to get it out of the city and to survive as well.
Two Russian reporters are injured already, others try to relay videos
via satellite phones, but the quality is pretty bad as they have to
compress it to the minimum size.

And some news:

The
capital of S.Ossetia is being under fire again, there's a road from
where, called Zarskaya road or Zar road, it's been attacked by Georgian
tanks overnight. The attack was repelled, but Georgians still have
positions for firing the road. The chief of Russian 58th army was
injured, when his convoy was going along this road. Two reporters and
members of a TV crew as well were injured in the same convoy.
