Good input, thank you.

I've read an earlier report which has Russian forces leaving Gori. Later, Russian Forces are retaking Gori, journalists and civilians leaving Gori.

Something interesting caught the Russian attention. Has an ally of Russia worked out a deal with Armenia? Could Russia be thinking Saakashvili knows more about U.S. Humanitarian aide, and felt threatened?

Is there a major route between Gori and the Black and Caspian Seas?

Just now found data in another thread:

Russia said today it will soon pull out from Gori, a town 60km east of the capital Tbilisi, just outside South Ossetia and which contols the key road between eastern and western Georgia.

Here is a relief map with roads I think. Will examine it after posting.

Alia, how are you? Couldn’t make it down to D.C. today as planned. 20 hour days with techies racing to finish Raging Debate. A six month development project in three weeks. Yeah...
