2. No more gruesome than those from any other invasion. I saw much worse from Iraq.

In most of these we're seeing people in two different types of uniforms, in Iraq, it's civilians.

6. Probably Georgian which are supplied by the US.

Hence the simularities.

4. Babchenko had commentary with his photos.

A rough translation is on this thread.

I esp. liked the "Year of Trans-Dniestria" banner. Odd, since it's recognized by nearly nobody--Trans-Dniestria, that is--and S. Ossetia felt obliged to support an entity quite similar to itself in such a manner.

On edit: D'uh. Make a post for the sole purpose of giving a link, and then forget the link. D'uh x 2.

8. I broke down crying. My boys asked me what was wrong. I told them

about the pictures but did not show them to them. Some of those kids in those shots, they can't be very old. Not all that much older than my guys. :cry:
