Gorbachev: Georgia started conflict in S. Ossetia

Gorbachev told CNN’s Larry King that Russia moved additional forces into South Ossetia in response to “devastation” in the South Ossetia city of Tskhinvali.
“This was the use of sophisticated weapons against a small town, against a sleeping people. This was a barbaric assault,” said Gorbachev, the last president of the former Soviet Union.
But Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili, who also appeared on CNN’s “Larry King Live” Thursday, said he was “profoundly shocked” that Mikhail Gorbachev would use a television appearance “for basically vindicating lies and deceptions.”
Western television didn’t show what happened in Tskhinvali, only now they’re beginning to show some pictures of the destruction. So this looks like it was a well-prepared project. And with any outcome, they wanted to put the blame on Russia.
“This is the man, Mr. Gorbachev, who helped to, you know, bring down KGB kingdom. And he is the one who is, you know, justifying what the KGB people are doing right now in my country,” Saakashvili said.
“Shame on him. Shame on you, Mr. Gorbachev, for perpetuating the very regime you helped to defeat and you fought against as the head of the Soviet Union.”
…
I need no explanations. By the way Saakashvili is talking it is obvious that he is not in a “normal state”.
Finally western TV started to believe the truth. About time.
