Ticks me off that I can't post this article because AP is such a pain in the butt.

But here's the link: The Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili is claiming that the US is planning to take over the Georgian airports and ports. The State Department, however, denies it.

Basically what that was about IMHO is that the US told the Georgian President that they were bringing humanitarian aid via military aircraft and ship and that we would of course secure the landing zones and docking areas. That somehow translated into we would control the landing zones and docking ares. The Pentagon quickly had to come out and clarify that position. For some reason we still care somewhat about what the bear things. Probably has something to do with all those nuclear weapons.
