Twenty days passed and Barack Obama was officially named the Democratic Party candidate for the 2008 presidential run. In the meantime, the escalating harsh conflict in Georgia left Europeans and Americans aghast.

Yes, THIS story starts with 8th of August – Russian Invasion. Yes, we, the Georgians, have moved troops into Tskhinvali at night – form 7th to 8th of August. We did not bombed the city. Our troops have answered the heavy bombardments from Ossetian side – from 3rd to 7th of August they attacked Georgian villages and we had to answer to that – since the russian peace keepers didn’t stopped Ossetians. Nobody is interested what was happening there before. Unfortunately nobody. BTW – Thanks to Magnum and Thomas for this great compilation.
