by Larussa - What indeed happened in Gory

Over the past week English-language press, newspapers and TV, have been blaming Russia for the recent events in the Caucasus. Here are some pictures for comparison.

The journalists say that Russians [purposefully] bombed civilian buildings and houses. Is this true?

Let's just think. How could a city block fallen under air bombardment appear? Look at these pictures: it is just heaps of the rocks and concrete. Nothing is left of the buildings. It is how the place would look after impact of a 1000-2000 pound blast bomb.

Every of you saw news reports from Afghanistan, Iraq, Lebanon, Israel, and Yugoslavia. It is enough just to remember. The journalists arrogated cruel bombardments using free-fall and guided bombs of 500 kg caliber to Russia. Those ammunitions are a little bit more powerful than 2000-pound bombs similar to those Israel used during the second war in Lebanon. Now, look at the photos published by the journalists from Reuters, CNN, BBC, and ARD. What kind of destruction can we see on their photos?

What do we see? 1000-2000 pound blast bomb would tie lampposts in a knot; the windows would be shattered together with the walls of the buildings. But where are the destroyed buildings, heaps of broken concrete, and root out trees? You can see just shattered windows and a couple of fires. Probably, Russian heavy bombardment aircrafts had done a carpet bombing using firecrackers. Do you believe that? Do you believe that Russians bombed Gory? Do you believe the city could still exist at all on this planet? One explosion of one Russian air bomb would be enough for complete demolition of several buildings. In case of real air strike, Gory city would be wiped off from the face of the earth. It is enough just to remember the cities of South Lebanon after the war with Israel or to look at the pictures of destroyed Tskhinvali in South Ossetia. Why don't the journalists show the impact points in Gory? Where are the shell craters? The 500 kg blast bomb would leave a shell crater of 10 m (30 ft) in diameter. It would be impossible to hide. Who saw pictures of the shell crater? What do the journalists conceal? Or what don't they want to show? Why?

Wake up! Remember TV and photo reports from Iraq and Yugoslavia. Compare them with this unskillful fake.

What indeed happened? In Gory, Russians did pinpoint attack at Georgian artillery depot full of ammunition ready to go blasting off the map Tskhinvali and its civilians. Explosion of Georgian artillery ammunition broke out windows while scattering splinters hurt people.

Georgian heavy artillery was destroyed. The Saakashvili's order to use heavy artillery against Tskhinvali led to horrible loss of its civilians. Who knows the reason why the Georgian army disposed deathful artillery ammunition in the very centre of the residential area? What is the idiocy?

What would you say to a president who would dispose a depot with of napalm right on the central square of your city to bomb a neighbor village?

Ask journalists to answer a simple question: "Excuse me. Who do you want to deceive?"
