September 1, 2008 (LPAC)--George Soros's Human Rights Watch has had to publicize some bad PR for George Soros's Georgia President Mikhail Saakashvili. After receiving an official letter from the Georgia Defense Ministry acknowledging Georgia's use of cluster bombs in its recent war against Russia, HRW didn't have much choice today but to admit that the Soros/British Foreign Office regime did in fact use the indiscriminate weapons, a charge HRW had earlier leveled against Russia, and which Russia has denied.
Cluster bombs, which can be as small as a flashlight battery, are packed into artillery shells or bombs dropped from aircraft. A single container typically scatters some 200 to 600 of the mini-explosives over an area the size of a football field.
The Associated Press described the weapon as a descendant of the "butterfly bomb'' dropped by Nazi Germany on Britain in World War II. It was first used by the U.S. in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War.
A campaign against cluster bombs intensified after Israel's month-long war against Hezbollah in 2006, when it scattered up to 4 million of them across Lebanon, according to the UN figures. In May, more than 100 countries agreed in Dublin to ban cluster bombs within eight years. But neither Georgia nor Russia pledged to do so. Rather than just not sign the pledge, the Cheney regime tried to scuttle the agreement.
A spokesman for HRW said Georgia is not known to possess cluster bombs. So where did it get them?
- Is Saakashvili Now A Liability? -
The fact that George Soros' own Human Rights Watch NGO was forced to reveal the damning evidence of Georgia's use of such horrid anti-personnel weapons, along with today's report in the German magazine Der Spiegel that Georgia is suspected of having committed war crimes in its attack on South Ossetia, according to reports from the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), has prompted Lyndon LaRouche to raise the question: "Has Mikhael Saakashvili become such a liability that his sponsrs in London are preparing to dump him altogether?''
Further adding to the picture of Saakashvili having too much blood on his hands to remain a credible "democratic'' leader, are news reports highlighting Georgian opposition leaders, demanding that Georgia repair its relations with Russia. Such calls are coming from leading Georgian opposition politicians, including former prime minister Nino Borjanadze. She has pointed out that there are an estimated 700,000 Georgians now living and working in Russia; and the remittances that they send back to Georgia are an important source of revenue for many Georgian families. Borjanadze has said that Georgia must work with Russia. She is known to have strong ties to Washington, and she is scheduled to come to the U.S.A. this week, and will appear at a forum on Georgia on Sept. 4, at the Carnegie Endowment.
