> Олег, ну не надо притворяться таким наивным. Реальную войну выиграть у него не получилось - теперь пытается выиграть с помощью телевизора. Вы как будто Wag the Dog не смотрели
> Нормальная постановочная съемка. Можете, кстати, объяснить - откуда взялась камера в том самом месте, куда господин С. еще только должен был прибежать? И почему, собственно, европейские дипломаты стоят себе спокойно в костюмчиках с галстуками и никуда не бегут, а этот человек изначально был в бронежилете? Правильно, потому что журналистам нужен storyline. И вот он, на блюдечке с голубой каемочкой.
??? Haven't you read the previous posts in this thread? Most people here thought that he should be ashamed of this clip. Why would he possibly shoot a clip like that on purpose? Moreover, the Reuters' story (confirmed by BBC, see below) is much more Believable than the story run by the Russians. Thus, a critical (not наивныи) person will choose to believe the BBC story, when given a choice.
> Врут на этой войне все, но делают это по-разному. Я смотрел этот же сюжет на сайте BBC. Запомнил, что Саакашвили прервал беседу, стал показывать пальцем куда-то в небо, а потом побежал. В приведенном Вами ролике этого момента нет. Предположу, что подредактировали, потому как в сюжет не вписался
> Врут на этой войне все, но делают это по-разному.
Are you saying that you are also one of the people lying? I spent a lot of (too much!!!!) time searching BBC's site for the clip that you are describing. The only thing that I could find was the same photo that Vegetta already posted in this thread:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/in_pictures/7554636.stm and click on "5".
Under the picture, they write: "Mr Saakashvili, centre, was later whisked away amid fears of an air attack in Gori, where dozens of Russian warplanes have launched raids. The French foreign minister (not pictured) also took cover." In other words, BBC is confirming Reuter's story. That wouldn't be the case if they had sensational video where a world leader just starts running away for no aparent reason. You know, I can also write that I have seen a video on BBC where, say Putin, is confessing and confirming my point of view. If you have a link to the BBC video, please share it with us.
> They learned from incidents such as the assassination of tsar Alexander II. If I remember correctly, after the first bomb, he was urged to leave, but he was in shock and didn't leave right away. This gave the terrorists an opportunity to kill him with a second bomb. He would have survived if he were to have those Georgian body guards from the 21st century.
> Отсылка к Александру II тоже неплохой ход, но строится на невежстве людей, плохом знании ими истории (особенно российской).
That was my "ход", and thanks for saying that it wasn't bad. I remembered the story of his assassination because it seemed relevant. I read Edward Radzinskiy's book "Alexander II" last year. A considerable part of the 592-page book is devoted to describing the details of Alexander's assassination.

> Насколько я помню, это было не первое покушение на Александра II
Of course! And even though it wasn't the first attempt on his life, his body guards allowed him to stay on the scene after the first bomb went off.
> И стреляли в него, и взрывать пытались не раз. Не получилось бы в этот - попробовали бы еще.
See, this reminds me of "невежстве людей, плохом знании ими истории (особенно российской)". Radzinskiy points out that Alexander's son, the next tsar, was many times more despotic than his father. His son adopted the exact policies that people who wanted his father dead disliked. And yet his son had not been assassinated.
