The Gleiwitz scenario

In ej.ru, Yulia Latynina writes about the present Georgia crisis:

Events in South Ossetia are unfolding according to exactly the same scenario as one year ago. This scenario is called the "Gleiwitz Radio Station": German troops dressed in Polish uniforms attacked the German station. Then, accusing the Poles of "aggression", Germany attacked Poland "in defence". No sooner had U.S. Vice President Biden left Georgia, where he said that the US would be unable to give Georgia military help, than South Ossetian head Eduard Koikoity accused the US, Israel amd Ukraine of complicity in the genocide of the Ossetian people.
