Western media - the eye-opening source of Truth.
« on: September 26, 2003, 11:49:13 AM »
In Chechnya Russian troops have wiped out a democratically elected government, killed tens of thousands of civilians, forced others out of refugee camps and back into the war zone, reduced the capital and every major town to rubble, indiscriminately rounded up the entire male populations of dozens of villages for torture or summary execution and so shattered the country's civil society that previously marginal Islamic extremists now are a major force.

I just think to myself are they really on drugs or someone just ordered them to publish this hallucination?...

Knowing the Washington Post is owned by the Rev. Sun Myung Moon I wouldn't place a lot of trust in their journalistic integrity Boroda.  

The Post is a shill for the right wing just as the New York Times is for the left.

Well, which part of the above is not true?  And is it true in part or completely untrue?

You are confusing the Washington Post with the Washington Times.  The Post is another Democratic party paper, like the NYT.  

Boroda, it is a complement to have the Post say nasty things about your country.

You mean this part is not true?
It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

Was this the Tzar, Stalin, or the present Government that did it ?

A good overall read on the history of the region.
