Title: Russian jets targeted major oil pipeline-Georgia
Post by: OzmO on August 09, 2008, 08:45:43 PM

I wonder if this is an effort by the Georgian government to get the west more invovled or is it totally real?  I would think hitting the pipeline wouldn't be that hard, but i donno.

TBILISI, Aug 9 (Reuters) - Russian fighter jets targeted the the major Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan (BTC) oil pipeline which carries oil to the West from Asia but missed, Georgia's Economic Development Minister Ekaterina Sharashidze said on Saturday.
"This clearly shows that Russia has not just targeted Georgian economic outlets but international economic outlets in Georgia," she said at a news briefing.
There have been no independent verifications of Russian jets targeting the BTC pipeline. (Reporting by Margarita Antidze, writing by James Kilner, editing by Jon Boyle)

Russia has found a way to use the Games as cover, stab us in the belly by bumping oil back up by hurting pipeline supply, and taking out their enemies and sening message at same time.

We need a moral high horse.  Bush poisoned ours years ago.  Borrow one from France!
