Timing Error: WIKI AND THE 2008 SOUTH OSSETIA WAR

WIKI AND THE 2008 SOUTH OSSETIA WAR

Belmont Club does and excellent analysis of the fight thus far. Must read.

But digging through his comments, I find the wiki entry on the 2008 South Ossetia War.

Is it accurate? Probably not; I'm sure folks from both sides are battling in the background. But as a source of raw open source intel, it is fantastic. We've seen this before in the Israel/Hezbollah War, this attempt by both sides to massage the message, but watching the phenomena is fascinating.

At heart, war is a method of communication. Seeing both sides leverage the full spectrum is amazing.

That said, I am not neutral. Again, my best to the Georgians: maneuver well, and sic semper thugs.
