September 1, 2008 (LPAC)--This morning's issue of Der Spiegel for the new week (#36) did publish a passage exposing the Georgians as provocateurs and liars: "At the same time [that governments were preparing the EU special summit], several departments of the German government in Berlin began voicing doubts about the credibility of this presently most problematic friend of the West. The Georgian President apparently attacked South Ossetia before Russian tanks arrived there through the Roki Tunnel, it is said. That has been told by military observers of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), who were in Georgia. It is possible that their reports, which now leaked out of the OSCE center in Vienna, also included information about wiretapped phone calls of the Georgian leadership. One that is familiar with these reports personally, summed up the assessment in the following way: "Saakashvili lied 100 percent to all of us, the Europans and Americans alike." In a preview of Dick Cheney's visit to Georgia this week, the same Spiegel article also writes that "it is mooted in Washington, DC, that he, who claims wanting to solve the conflict, is one of those that orchestrated it. One of his most experienced advisors, Joseph R. Wood, was in Tbilisi shortly before the Georgian Army attacked. That was confirmed for the first time last week by Cheney's office."
The Spiegel report exposing Saakashvili is very important, because the magazine otherwise is a notoriously anglophile publication.
