Candace: I am just pasting in the links here, because often these pics from websites don't copy well, and those with older screens may have troubles viewing them anyway.

Last night Larry King interviewed "Gorbachev" the former Russian Ruler and I really don't think it was him! In fact I am quite sure of it! Even the marks on his head did not look natural and this person was wearing bad fitting glasses, which seems also unlikely. It was supposedly of him in Russia, with an interpreter. I thought the question, answer process went a little fast too, it all looked scripted to me. But at any rate, the point was made that Georgia did the attacking at least. I didn't understand or follow it too well, think I will look for the transcipt on CNN today. Last time I knowingly remember Gorbachev was when he visited this country for somebodies funeral or other state visit, a few years ago. Maybe Reagan's?

So given this is likely NOT the real person, I wonder what the game is.

Yesterday the Ossetian site was down for whatever reason, damage or on purpose, don't know, but it's back up this morning. Here are the links:

He talked to RT and blamed U.S. and Georgian leaders for the outbreak of violence. You tube video.
