[lbo-talk] Russian forces withdraw from Georgia proper, pipeline mysteriously untouched and out of Russian control

[Max B. Sawicky]

Talked to a guy in the Gov who knows about this stuff.
The Russians threw some bombs at an airbase that was
near the pipeline.  The pipe there is buried deep enough
so that those types of bombs would not have affected it
anyway.  There were easier things the Russkies could have
done if they wanted to mess with the pipeline.  All the oil
pipeline talk is rubbish.
