Why would US citizen be part of attack in Georgia?

Question

A U.S. passport has been found in a basement in a village in South Ossetia among items that belonged to Georgian forces after they attacked SOssetia on 8th August 2008.

The name on the passport is Michael Lee White from Texas.

Is he a member of US forces?

Answer 1

It could be a lot of things including a legitimate businessman and could have been there for some time but the 100 or so trainers there took no part in Georgia's attempt to stop the Russian backed terrorists that kept attacking Georgians in Georgia.  It was a trap well laid on par with the US cutting off Japan's oil supply to force a much weaker country to attack the US.    

Answer 2

Yes,but there has been a huge military base from america in georgia for 10 years.They are not offencive troops,but they are training the georgian armed forces.

The US forces were advising the georgian troops when they attacked,which is fine,so long as they don't advise if georgia attacked another country but to regain it's territory is legal under international law.This is the reason that only 9 civilians died in the assault,but 191 soldiers.Without american know how it would have been several thousand civilians and 9 soldiers

Answer 3

maybe they knicked it.  

Answer 4

Where do you think Georgia get all there weapons from, and when you buy tanks and planes and stuff, you need to have people who know how to use them to train others. The US had around 1000 military advisers in Georgia before Georgia made the first attack.

Answer 5

Don't you think you should be asking the US government?  Whether you get the complete true answer or not is a different matter.
