Media war against Russia

In the modern world you cant wage a war just with your tanks 
and planes.You have to use media. In Germany during WWII 
they would say "Truth is not what happened, truth is what we 
tell people".

Yesterday Russian military aircrafts bombed several Georgian 
military bases. It worth mentioning that military men are located 
in the a five-storied buildings which look exactly alike residential. 
The reason for this is simple, they were built in the Soviet Union 
times and there was not much diversity in architecture.

This morning (its 7 a.m. Moscow time right now) one can read 
on the BBC news site. Russia deaf to Western voices, Reuters 
agency posts horrible pictures of Russian bombardments of 
allegedly civilian residential buildings. But what if you take a 
closer look?

(Warning: the pictures contain scenes with 
blood and allegedly injured people.)

For instance on this picture you can see one obviously 

dead body of a person in a checkered shirt. The other 

body is carried by medics, carried as if it was a dead 

body, but you can notice that the hand of a person is 

holding a woman medic's sleeve. Well so far everything 

looks pretty real, except maybe for one guy in black who

 doesn't look anyhow concerned.Click nhere to view:

 Now on this picture we see a crying man and a body in 

his hands. But look closely! This is the same checkered 

shirt, same trousers and shoes, the same person. So 

does it mean that the crying man took the body brought 

it some place else? Hardly so, this is just one of the 

participants of the show. And again if you look close 

enough you can notice that the guy crying is the person 

in black from the previous picture. Click here to view:

Now here he is again, alone still with some clothes 

on, or may be he got changed.

Generally if you see the pictures you can notice that nothing 
happens around the scene. No people running, and there are 
actually not a lot of people for a big residential building area 
if it was really bombed.

Well, I'm cant be sure that some Russian rockets didn't hit by 
accident some building adjacent to a military base, but look,
 they ruinedTskhinvally. They did it on purpose, and now they 
blame us! They started military offence in the first day of
 Olympics. Bombed Russian peacekeepers barracks and 
Russia is to be blamed? No, I don't think so.

Now, look at the other side. There's no pictures from the 
capital of South Ossetia which is totally ruined now, and the 
good reason we don't have pictures from where is because 
when there's no power for your equipment, even satellite link 
would be hardly of any use. And if you have a tape, you have 
to get it out of the city and to survive as well. Two Russian 
reporters are injured already, others try to relay videos via 
satellite phones, but the quality is pretty bad as they have 
to compress it to the minimum size.

And some news:

The capital of S.Ossetia is being under fire again, there's a 
road from where, called Zarskaya road or Zar road, it's been 
attacked by Georgian tanks overnight. The attack was 
repelled, but Georgians still have positions for firing the road. 
The chief of Russian 58th army was injured, when his convoy 
was going along this road. Two reporters and members of a 
TV crew as well were injured in the same convoy.
