I *thought* he’d back off yesterday after the president’s announcement. I *thought* he was reconning for the main line of resistance. He has NOT backed off, and indeed seems to be stepping up the tempo. I wouldn’t count on anything now.
Gonna be an interesting weekend. Condi arrives in Tbilisi on Friday and Gates either also arrives or is there already. All this, while the Russian Hordes are still moving this way and that trying to get as much spoils as they can.
