I just stumbled across this on a German blog and as much as i value the BBC, the relative bluntness of the report caught me off guard. Refreshing, yet surprising.

This is stuff that smaller non-mainstream media outlets have been saying for -months- and went completely disregarded by mainstream corporate media conglomerates.

Bet your tush a peep of this won't even appear in the US media.

BTW look at some of the Georgian soldier photos taken at the time of the conflict (not this video). They are all equipped with easily recognizable US brand uniforms and weapons. Trained, supplied, and supported.

It's sad the real journalism rarely exists in the US.

True, braindonut, you want to hear about a subject skillfully deconstructed and explained by a genuine expert in the field, watch foreign television.

They don't translate part of what the Ossetian mother said in Russian in the beginning- she said she held him and his blood was all over her, is that right for a mother to experience. It's really heartbreaking.
