Rice Admits Georgia Started War with Russia
A BBC article from today confirmed what many people have been saying:

"The Georgian government launched a major military operation into Tskhinvali [the capital of South Ossetia] and other areas of that separatist region," she said.
"Regrettably, several Russian peacekeepers were killed in the fighting," she added.
