While most of the world reacted with the predictable combination of shock and eagerness for more security measures in the wake of Monday’s suicide bombing in the Moscow Domodedovo Airport, Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili is openly cheering it.
According to Saakashvili, the bombing was “payback” for the brief Russo-Georgian War of 2008, and that he had recently told Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin that he would face “payback for his country for supporting separatists.”
The comments came in the wake of Putin’s own statement that Chechnya, which was initially assumed to be the source of the attack, had nothing to do with it. Putin did not describe who was responsible, however.
Saakashvili’s comments, though presumably not a claim of responsibility, are likely to spark another round of anti-Georgian sentiments in Russia. Tensions between the two sides have flamed up repeatedly since the war, and have regularly led to attacks on Georgian immigrants living in Russia.
Isn't this Saakashitzvili character a product of AmeroCon universities and the AmeroCon desire to spread freedumb and thugocracy? And isn't he one of Scott Horton's boys? (Not the Antiwar Scott Horton but the lawyer dude who was on some foundation to spread thugocracy.)
The tie eating madman from Georgia is acting on behalf of USA and UK.
Can expect nothing else from someone who will blow up a memorial to WWII veterans (and kill mother and daughter in the process).
No, it was payback from Israel for Russia recognizing Palestine as a sovereign state six days earlier. The comment from Saakashitzvili is pure misdirection.
Saakashitzvili speaks fluent hebrew. He is probably a Mossad agent and he was the guy who allowed Israel to bring in the miltary supplies and build an airport. The attack on the forward Israel base was the real reason for the 2008 war.
What Saakashvili's comments show is that he, and the Israeli lunatics in his government, have given up any hope of acceptance in Europe, be it in NATO or the EU. He has also failed to fabricate a new cold war, which is what aforementioned lunatics are in Georgia to do in the first place. Ultimately, that spells the end of his political career and the only question is whether he will survive to the end of his term or whether the "street" will force him to resign.
Micky Suckash might wanna rethink poking at the Russians. Seems like the last time Micky Suckash started up with Moscow, he just about had his head handed to him.
This is the idiot that McCain wanted us to go to bat for? Good grief!
Unwise Saakashvili is, of course, telling the truth. He just could not keep quiet, but had to brag. Of course that all the terrorist actions in Russia originate in Georgia. It is a hub of spies and dirty games in the region, and is well rewarded for that role. The fact that they are hiring the dissatisfied youth in Caucases, or small time clan mafiosos, is beside the point. While the mythology persists in mainstream media that these are somehow home grown terrorists, Saakashvilli has spoken the truth. He will be crucified by his handlers for this stupidity, and in the end probably "democratically" removed. Russia in the name of euro friendship let Georgia off easily the first time around. But Russia can ill afford to turn the blind eye to this forever.
isn't that aiding and abetting
Everybody here forgot the real reason for American & Israelis to stick their noses in Gerogia. They don't care hell about Georgia. Their main target is Chechnya with its vast wealth of oil & minerals. Russian government (FSB) appointed Dudaeve as their patsy to announce the separation of Chechnya from Russia. Russian forces brutally attacked Chechnya during the summer of 94 during Yeltsin time. Dudaeve was killed by a rocket but his body never been recovered, hence, he ended up living in fortress in Dubai. Chechnya was destroys with 133.000 Chechen slaughtered. Putin staged his own version of 911 in Moscow to justify another brutal massacre in Chechnya. Total death in both war around 350.000 or one third of the population. Nobody doubts the involvement of the Zionist regime because they belive the Chechen destroyed their Khazar kingdom in the past because they tried to stick their noses into the Chechen to corrupt them.
Continue: in the summer of 2002 CIA toppled the government of Eduard Shevardnadze who fled to Moscow and put their deaf servant Saakashvili as their porret. Ruusians felt the oil corporation ambetion to control the Caucasus region and stopped the war in Chechnya. Surprisingly the started pouring billions of green $$$ into Chechnya under the rule of Ramzan Kadirov and started rebuilding Chechnya because they fear the Chechens will shift their loyalty to the south with their ancient brothers the Georgians despite their defirrence of religion. There are a few members of the old Dudaeve ministers who reside in the US now teaching Chechen language to American military and memebers of the Pentagon. Moscow is real worried about the south gate. If they lose control of it then Russia will collapse. Of course Georgian Army proved themselves a failure after they fled leaving American tanks behind them for the Russians to grab. The real reason they fled because the Russian army consisted of only Chechen fighters not real Russian which putin used knowing the Georgian will never have the stomach to face the fierce Chechen fighters.
Global Number of Legitimate Peace Activists = approx 12. True peace activists have, (1) read the Black Book of Communism, (2) demonstrated against the Iraq war, (3) demonstrated against the invasion of Georgia, (4) demonstrated against Obama's war on Libya, (5) understand that the Nazis were socialists. Worldwide, there are about 12 people who fulfill all these criteria. None of them seem to visit this site. This site is entitled to its own opinions, but it is not entitled to it's own facts. When you depart from the truth, I depart from you.
