Just watching CNN and one of their reporters in monitoring a column of Russian military vehicles that was headed towards Tbillisi then turned then headed again then turned...

They also had President Saakashvili on for a live interview saying they will defend the capitol with “every last drop of their blood”.

FNC has Steve Harrigan following a Russian convoy in the area of Gori.

...”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.”

Bigger picture, yes. Accurate? No.

I don't think we'll see anything beyond this, certaintly not a Russian move on the capital.

Russia is in the mopping up stage now, they are squeezing everything out of this oppurtunity to smash the Georgian military infastructure before the truce talks end and some type of deal is done.

“They are abducting small children from Georgian families”

?!! Where did you hear that?

[Ulysse]

Are journalists allowed and protected?

Think that U.S. should send official witness to watch what’s going in agreement with GEORGIAN authorities!
(i don’t trust europeans as a french)

Steve Harrigan on FNC says they have a reporter following a Russian convoy 12 miles from Tbillisi.

We heard that yesterday and the day before. Pretty soon there wont be a Georgia left. IMHO, you don't let the dogs of war loose (Chechens, Cossacks and Ossetian Speed Demons) if you plan on living peaceful with you neighbor.

I think they want to take out Georgia’s president.

I believe it was this page. Audio track. Half way down.

Will double check it after posting this.

On the road to Gori.

Quite a bit of coverage at the moment. Something's happening.

The liberal media wants to take Obama out...for a power-lunch!

“I’m in the 82nd and I can tell you we are ready for any mission anywhere... lets go!”

When I was in we could have the RDF 1 Ready Battalion anywhere in the world in 17 hours and a Brigade to follow on very quickly after that. Is that still the number?

All the Way !

Whether our politicals have the courage of our troops is another matter.

[Rick.Donaldson]

No, it ain’t over. Won’t be over until Russia has kicked the President of Georgia out of office.

Or killed him.

The President of Georgia stated this morning they “would fight until the last drop of blood”...

“CNN reporter saying that a line of Russian vehicles heading for Tbilisi at 30 kph!”

They are attempting to draw fire from the Georgians so they can claim Georgian aggression and start up the war again...typical Soviet style tactics of oppression.

[mware]

Georgia interior minister just said that Russians have stopped and are not advancing into Gori.

Just reported that President Bush will be making a public announcement.

No time announced on when it will be held.

[mware]

Just announced the President will be addressing this before noon.

Just reported that President Bush will be making a public announcement. No time announced on when it will be held.

In two and a half hours.

I’m sure we will not enter into another conflict.
