BBC now confirming it....

Violence has flared up in Georgia, where Russian tanks have been seen patrolling the city of Gori, says the BBC’s Gavin Hewitt near the scene.”

In Gori, the Russian tanks seem to be dismantling and destroying Georgian army bases there, our correspondent says.

There is a pall of smoke over Gori’s market. Terrified residents have watched their houses being torched.

The situation may well be worse in outlying villages, he adds.

Apparently the Russian are having communication problems. Must be a few soldiers drinking a little too much Vodka. Gee. Who would of thunk putting the Butchers of Grozny along with Ossetian Separatists Hoped up on Speed apparently and Chechen Islamic Terrorists into a neighboring country with a disorganized policing force, would have caused any problems ?
