Переношу в корень - что собственно сказали американцы
Ниже дали ссылки на расшифровки. Я их посмотрел. Никакого "Грузины виноваты, они начали" в показаниях американцев не нашел.

Сепаратистская артиллерия стреляла по грузинским деревням, в том числе из-за спины русских "миротворцев", которые вовсе не миротворили. Грузия начала наземную операцию только для того, чтобы прекратить обстрелы.
Despite the cease-fire, Georgia asserted that the South Ossetians continued shelling Georgian peacekeepers and villages, even from behind positions occupied by Russian peacekeepers. Despite their mandate, Russian ‘peacekeepers’ did not fulfill their duty to stop the exchange of shelling between both sides. That night, the Georgians announced that they were compelled to protect their citizens and began to suppress South Ossetian firing positions with ground operations. Georgia expanded operations, shelling the city of Tskhinvali. A Georgian ground operation quickly captured separatist controlled villages and much of the city of Tskhinvali.
Ограниченная операция, чтобы восстановить власть законного грузинского правительства, чтобы прекратить обстрелы грузинских гражданских лиц злобными сепаратистами.
Although much is still unclear, it appears the Georgians conducted what they thought was a limited military operation with the political aim of restoring Georgian sovereignty over South Ossetia to eliminate the harassing fire from the South Ossetian separatists on Georgian civilians.
The use of artillery fire and multiple launched rockets into urban areas and into the proximity of Russian peacekeepers is lamentable, and we do not condone this activity. Russia used Georgia’s ground operation as the pretext for its own offensive.
Стреляли зря. Но у грузин - "ground operation" (хотя только что ее целями заявили полное уничтожение сепаратистов), а у русских - полномасштабный злобный offensive!

И тут обещанного "грузины начали" нету.
Давление и провокации России, а также просчеты Грузии привели к военному конфликту и попыткам России расчленить Грузию.
Today, with regret, I must report to this Committee that these concerns have been realized. Russia’s intensified pressure and provocations against Georgia – combined with a serious Georgian miscalculation – have resulted not only in armed conflict, but in an ongoing Russian attempt to dismember that country.
Россия вторглась, чтобы силой изменить границу страны с демократическим правительством, а также, если получится, скинуть это правительство. А вовсе не для того, чтобы ослабить гуманитарное давление на российских граждан, как заявляется.
But key facts are clear: Russia sent its army across an internationally recognized boundary, to attempt to change by force the borders of a country with a democratically-elected government and, if possible, overthrow that government – not to relieve humanitarian pressures on Russian citizens, as it claimed.
Была стрельба, грузины объявляли прекращение огня. Осетины стреляли по грузинским деревням из-за спины российских миротворцев. Русские войска вторгались через Рокский туннель. Мы предупреждали грузин, чтобы они не рыпались. Но они двинулись на югоосетинскую столицу, и дали России повод. Сейчас рано решать, кто виноват, но Россия не имела никаких прав вторгаться в Грузию и мочить ее.
Shooting broke out between Georgia and South Ossetian armed forces in South Ossetia. Georgia declared a ceasefire, but it did not hold. The Georgians told us that South Ossetians had fired on Georgian villages from behind the position of Russian peacekeepers. The Georgians also told us that Russian troops and heavy military equipment were entering the Roki Tunnel border crossing with Russia. We had warned the Georgians many times in the previous days and weeks against using force, and on August 7, we warned them repeatedly not to take such a step. We pointed out that use of military force, even in the face of provocations, would lead to a disaster. We were blunt in conveying these points, not subtle. Our message was clear. Georgia’s move into the South Ossetian capital provided Russia a pretext for a response that quickly grew far out of proportion to the actions taken by Georgia. There will be a time for assessing blame for what happened in the early hours of the conflict, but one fact is clear – there was no justification for Russia’s invasion of Georgia. There was no justification for Russia to seize Georgian territory, including territory well beyond South Ossetia and Abkhazia in violation of Georgia’s sovereignty, or to attack and destroy infrastructure.
