Have you taken in the fact that I have never advocated what the media does? My opposition to one form of imperialism however does not mean I feel I have to support or dismiss another, see the difference?
Beltov, A-J quoted some figures:

At the time of last August's horrific atrocities against the civilians of Tskinvali, Georgia brought back from Iraq - or was it Afghanistan? - troops to participate in the bloodbath.
What qualifies as a "bloodbath"? I know this time last year the Russians were crowing about the thousands and thousands of civilians killed in Tshinvali and South Ossetia generally, but it appears that the numbers Russia itself has settled on are much, much lower:
South Ossetian Civilians - 162
Russian and Separatist Soldiers - 215
Georgian Civilians - 228
Georgian Soldiers/Police - 199
Looks like you, and a lot of other people, fell for Russia's babies-in-incubators story."

When you get around to providing a source for your numbers, then I'll get around to blowing your numbers out of the water. Wikipedia? uh-huh."
So I assumed you had a better source for this. There's a reason I asked, but if you can't find another on-hand that's ok too, I already said we can all drop this anytime.
