Obama, playing golf, issues a ridiculous response.
Prostitute Kaine: The Messiah's Words Brought Georgia Ceasefire
Posted on 08/13/2008 2:09:24 AM PDT by HarryCaul
The head of Georgia's national security council said Wednesday Russia has sent 50 tanks into the central Georgian city of Gori, despite an agreed-upon ceasefire calling on both sides to retreat to positions they held before fighting began six days ago.
Security council head Alexander Lomaia said that the tanks entered Gori about 9:45 a.m. local time, but there was no independent confirmation of his claim.

1 MBT, 12-14 IFV’s per CNN....
Sounds more like a recon in force.
Moving to pinpoint the Georgians defensive lines
” An Associated Press reporter has seen a convoy of several dozen Russian military trucks and armored vehicles heading out of a key city deeper into Georgia. “
The “reporter outside the city of Gori saw the convoy speeding past and heading south. And Georgia’s Security Council chief says Russians bombed and looted Gori on Wednesday.”
Fox News showing the tanks heading into Gori, and going even deeper, may be heading for the capital.
heh...
Screw em..
We need to put all ours on the table as well.
“...I’m not so sure the Russians would want to risk all out war with the US...”
How, on earth, do you mean THAT?
The Russian want the President of Georgia to quit.
“We could have at least 4-6 airborne combat brigades in Tblisi within 24 hours.”
Hopefully our policy will at least be to get in quietly, hook up with Georgians and ratf**k the The Russians to death with stuff the Georgians may not have.
“We need concerned Americans to start calling the Whitehouse line and letting the president know we do have an airborne force always on call and ready...”
As if?
Yeah mean the president of Russia did not take Obama’s advice????
If it looks, talks and walks................. it probably is.
I’m on it.
Latest reports from BBC now say that the Russian column has turned off the road to the captial. Earlier reports said they were expected to turn off towards an abandoned Georgian military base and it looks like this happening now.
Just be careful. There are experts at setting traps. Last Lebanon War. Georgia taking the bait in Ossetia. They own the initiative here. Hopefully we have some brilliant military minds in the Pentagon setting to spring something. If freepers can figure them out in near real time, you know the Pentagon knows much sooner then that. What surprised me was the low caliper of aircraft they have used until now. They must have a bunch of top end fighters parked somewhere nearby just waiting for our air response.

yea, i suppose what we should really look for are additional reports of armor continuing to move through Gori towards Tblisi
FWIW - SkyNews is reporting the US has requested an emergency NATO meeting given the developments this morning
Could have been a small flanking force to clear the base and hold it. Look for possibly a column of heavys to follow.
Should have happened three days ago.
I think the world no longer cares what Russia wants. They are abducting small children from Georgian families. Heard a live audio report describing it from a credentialed reporter on the scene.
I heard that too a couple of hours ago but haven’t seen any articles about it.
