Poti is under the grip of the Rooskies... where will they make port?

German and Spanish warships carrying aid to Georgia entered Istanbul's Bosporus Straits on Thursday. Turkey earlier approved the transit of two U.S. navy ships to the Black Sea to transport humanitarian relief supplies to conflict-torn Georgia.
The United States was also in talks with other governments in the region to facilitate movement of relief aid to Georgians ravaged by the conflict between Moscow and Tbilisi.
"Turkey has approved three ships for transit into the Black Sea to transport humanitarian relief supplies to Georgia -- that will consist of two U.S. Navy ships and a U.S. Coast Guard cutter," U.S. State Department spokesman Robert Wood said.
Yes, I often send a fully-armed guided missile destroyer on my humanitarian missions!
*I am surprised that the USS Comfort isn’t in this 3 ship task force, though.
Anyway, Bush rocks for standing firm with Georgia!
Regardless of what others don't do (I'm sure the Europeans are talking), it is our duty to stand on the side with Georgia, a free republic ruled by law.
We need to do all we can to assist.
Interesting. Thanks for posting.
Prayers for those on board. This is not going to calm down any time soon.
Has our navy ever been in the Black Sea before?
This is kinda like having the Russian navy in Lake Erie

This is the way WWIII got started.
