Putin is upset that his propaganda campaign was not the accepted version in the west. He gets more ridiculous by the day putting out such claims. His credibility is sinking.

I agree. I really enjoyed reading Pavel’s post. Especially the part about Georgians shelling animals. What Pavel fails to realize, however, is that animals, in times of war can be legitimate military targets. In fact US Army artillery corp operating manual specifically instructs soldiers to pay special attention to neutralizing any stray dogs and goats taller than 4 feet to avoid any threat from them to ground personnel. There is no doubt in my mind, that Georgians, being trained by Americans no less, have received similar instructions.
