Clipmarks | Vietnam ClipsU.S. Intelligence Sees It Russia?s Wayclipped by: amgumenAmerican intelligence confirms that the latest military actions in South Ossetia were started by Georgia and Russia?s position in the conflict was correct, says Republican California Congressman Dana Rohrabacher. He said the situation reminded him of the Bay of Tonkin incident, which the U.S. used as a pretext for beginning the war in Vietnam. "The Russians are right! Were wrong! Georgia started it, the Russians ended it," Rohrabacher said at a hearing in the House of Representatives. Nonetheless, Fried acknowledged that supporting Georgia was in U.S. interests, even if it considers the countries actions foolish. Russia acknowledged the independence of Abkhazia and South Ossetia on August 26. Those republics requested that recognition after Georgian forces almost completely ruined Tskhinvali, the capital of South Ossetia, in the course of the event of August 8-12. More than 1500 civilians were killed in that time, according to South Ossetian authorities. Pakistan cites right to defend against US attacksclipped by: tommy2balmyclippers remarks: Yet another nuclear armed nation that feels threatened by the Bush military doctrine. Recent U.S. air and ground force assaults into Pakistan have made it clear that the United States is in the process of expanding the war against the Taliban in Afghanistan into that neighboring country. the response of the Pakistani military spokesman, Maj. Gen. Athar Abbas, to the most recent attack was to cite Pakistans right to "self-defense and retaliation," Their problem with the attacks, apart from the violation of Pakistani territory and sovereignty that they constitute, is that there have been civilian casualties, including women and children, in the Pakistani villages attacked. The expansion of the war in Afghanistan into Pakistan by the Bush administration is eerily reminiscent of President Richard M. Nixons decision in 1970 to expand the war in Vietnam into neighboring Cambodia. Pakistan has an estimated 619,000 men under arms, it possesses nuclear weapons and it may well be capable of the retaliation that the Pakistani military and civilian authorities have threatened.
