    Good. Thats what needed, to push them back to their homeland. All these statements that we are heading towards Tbilisi is just an excuse to go back.

    I hope now Russia will biuld a solid border in south ossetia, otherwise we will be seeing saakashvili's son in 15 years time heading to south ossetia for 3rd war.

    The Georgian authorities said the town of Gori, 40 miles north of Tbilisi, had, in effect, fallen to the Russians

    But by last night sources in Moscow and Tbilisi and observers on the ground confirmed that Russian troops had advanced tens of miles into Georgian-held territory from Abkhazia.

    http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/aug/11/georgia.russia13

    In the Georgian capital, Tbilisi, Matt Bryza of the US state department said Russia had been preparing an invasion for several months.

    "We heard statements saying that Russian railroad troops that entered Abkhazia [in Georgia] a couple of months ago were there for a humanitarian mission," he said. "Now we know the truth that these forces were there to rebuild the railway to allow ammunition and other military supplies to aid a Russian invasion."

    Yea According to Georgian military officials there were Russians in Bori yesterday while at the same time Reuters journalist who was live on the spot only saw Georgians running like crazy. No Russkies on spot at that time. I guess we can really believe Georgian military officials.

    How come Georgians are vastly outnumbered ? I mean didn't Georgia mobilize these days and their professional army of over 20 000 men outnumbers the Russian forces in Georgia at the moment. The Crazy Shaka told us earlier today that 10 000 Russian soldiers are in Georgia. How come Guardian then says "vastly outnumbered" ... oh yea it sounds good and scary! ;)

    I don't believe any info that comes from either side. The same media reports contradicting stuff from the conflict zone couple of times a day. How can we get a good picture of what is going on ?

    Hahaha))) He atacked first and what did he think? That Russia just will seat and watch?

    Its the south ossetian capital destroyed, not Tbilisi, so who invaded whom?

    Provocator.

    Of course now they invaded Georgian territory to destroy the military bases, he thought killing 1,600 people will not lead to this? Crazy man.

    However:

    Its all lies, the french foreing minister was in that town of Gori, how can russian troops be there and shoot it? And after that french minister went to south ossetia. Bullsh*t.

    the only place they got to is Senaki,

    Russia has about the same amount of troops deployed as the Georgians. However, the Georgians have no airpower and only about 200 tanks against 500 for the Russians.

    The Georgians are also not able to replace their loses in tanks and armored vehicles.

    It's not 100% clear in how the conflict started.

    500 tanks arent on georgian territory, they might be on the border, and thats good.

    The Georgians are also not able to replace their loses in tanks and armored vehicles.

    How its not clear when the south ossetian capital Tskhinval is totally demolished? Do you think russians demolished it and 34K south ossetian people run with russians (read:enemies) to Russia? :rolleyes:

    US warns Russia over Georgia

    The US has strongly criticised Russian military action against Georgia, in the bitter conflict over South Ossetia.

    President George W Bush said he had expressed his grave concern to Moscow at the military's "disproportionate" response.

    and Putin criticized Bush for that ;)

    You can clearly see, that this war is pointless for Georgia, even if they airlift 10K troops. So why Bush is doing this? Its just going to be more deaths thats all and Bush will be sitting criticizing on the other end of globe.

    If US territory could be in danger with all them wars they started miles away from their home they would think twice before starting another war. If you dont burn - you dont get a feeling.

    Bush did it because he was asked to by an ally.

    I saw his conference today with French president Sarkozi in Moscow. Medvedev said some countries asked him to not bring up the genocide investigation in private talks, I wonder who was it))) GWB ? :D

    I think he wont listen to them, cos a few dozens of criminal specialists (body inspectors..) are already arrived there to work.

    Su-25 of Georgian air force is bombing Tskhinvali /this one was modernized in Israel btw;) and sent to heaven few hours later/

    Russia has broke the ceasefire agreement brokered by the EU. Russian forces destroyed three Georgian Coast Guards ships in the port of Poti. Further, Russian forces siezed the city of Gori cutting Georgia in half. South Ossetia and Abkhazian troops are burning and looting the city.

    Russian forces are preparing an assualt on Tbilisi and the US may respond. The US military has been ordered to mobilize and prepare to send Naval forces into the Black Sea.

    The US military is sending humanitarian aid into Georgia and Russia has been told not to interfere.

    No wonder, we are not going to seat and sleep when someone is bombing us. Saakashvili should say thank you, that he's alive still and that Russia did not declared a full scale war against Georgia.

    Haha, if Russian military wanted to take Tbilisi it wouldnt take them 5 days. After Russian army left Georgia, US is saying dont attack Tbilisi, very funny)))

    Interfere into what? We never had plans to invade Georgia, we just bombed their military bases and ships, so they dont attack again South Ossetia. Its Georgia invaded South Osseta, so try to invade South Ossetia again now, then we WILL interfere.

    Belorussia is sending humanitarian aid into South Ossetia. EU is sending 1 ml euros to South Ossetia.
