Russia, China reject UN move to rebuke Syrian president

28. are honestly trying to peddle the globally-debunked claptrap that Russia first attacked Georgia?

I thought the only people on the planet who still believed that were Fox News viewers and/or Freepers.

Speaking at an event organised by the German Marshall Fund in Washington, Ms Rice acknowledged that Georgia had fired the first shots in the breakaway region of South Ossetia.

"The Georgian government launched a major military operation into Tskhinvali [the capital of South Ossetia] and other areas of that separatist region," she said.

"Regrettably, several Russian peacekeepers were killed in the fighting," she added.

BTW, they weren't just killed, they had their throats slit in a sneak attack as they ran out of their barracks in the middle of the night.
