During the night of August 7, coinciding with the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics, President Saakashvili of Georgia ordered an all-out military attack on the city of Tskhinvali, the capital of South Ossetia.

The Georgian unprovoked aerial bombardment and ground attacks were directed against civilian targets, including residential areas, hospitals and a university. The capital was completely destroyed. There were over 1,500 deaths according to the Russian and Western sources on the spot. Over 34,000 people from South Ossetia fled to Russia.

The importance and timing of this Georgian military operation must be carefully analyzed, because it will have far-reaching implications.

Georgia is an important US and NATO outpost on the immediate border of the Russian Federation and very close to the Middle East Central Asian war theatre. South Ossetia is at the crossroads of the strategic oil and gas pipeline routes.

Georgia never ever acts without the consent of Washington. Besides, President Saakashvili is a US proxy and Georgia is in fact a US protectorate.

It is a cardinal fact that the attack by Georgia was very carefully coordinated by the US military and NATO and given military aid by Washington!

Georgian military were trained also by Israel as facts have been proven now. Contrary to what was conveyed by the Western media reports. This attack was anticipated by Moscow. These attacks were timed to coincide with the opening ceremonies of the Beijing Olympics, largely with a view of avoiding front-page media coverage of this Georgian military operation. Russian air strikes were at the military installations inside Georgia, including the Gori military base. The Georgian military attack was repulsed with a massive Russian show of military strength.

This attack was known and planned to fail by NATO brass - but the actual plan was to cause a humanitarian disaster rather than a military victory. The objective by Georgia was to destroy completely the provincial capital and to inflict as high a loss of life as possible. This was the NATO’s brass plan right from the very start!

Both Washington and NATO headquarters in Brussels were acutely aware of what would happen in case of Russian counterattack. Was this a scenario that was planned to escalate into a broader conflict and an all out war?

Was this also a plan, that since Georgia has the third largest contingent of military forces (all paid in American dollars – Editor) in Iraq after the US and UK, with over 2,000 troops there – to get them flown back to Georgia in US military planes and expand the conflict?

It is now a fact that US-NATO and Israel were involved in planning this attack!

The war in Southern Ossetia was not meant to be won at all, leading to the restoration of Georgian sovereignty over South Ossetia. It was intended, with the help of Israel to destabilize this region while also triggering a US-NATO confrontation with Russia. Also, this was a combined rehearsal by US-NATO-ISRAEL war preparations in relation to the planned attack on Iran.

Israel’s military advisors were and are working hand-in-hand in preparations of Georgian military in the attack on South Ossetia. Georgia received from Israel the SU-25 planes and artillery systems from Israel, besides supplying Georgia with the Israel’s Hermes-450 and Skylark unmanned aerial planes.

Israel is now part of the Anglo-American military axis, which serves the interests of the Western oil giants in the Middle East and Central Asia. Israel is an important partner in the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyham pipeline that brings oil; and gas to the Eastern Mediterranean. Over 20% of Israel’s oil is imported from Azerbaijan and this pipeline is controlled by British Petroleum. This has dramatically changed the geopolitics of the Eastern Mediterranean and the Caucasus.

Turkey and Israel are now negotiating the construction of a multi-billion dollar energy and water project that will have control over the transport of water, electricity, natural gas and oil; both pipelines to Israel.

US is planning to have Israel o be the dominant force in the Middle East, on behalf of the multinational corporations – in plain words – THE ARMED BULLY!

This cartoon from The Independent newspaper says it all: Bush goaded Saakashvili to attack and then Bush waltzed away whistling. Mission Accomplished!
