Looks like there is gonna be a showdown at Poti. Humanitarian Aid verses Russian entrenched roadblocks. From what I have read the US Destroyer has baby food, blankets and basic suplies.

do I really have to say it???
A top Russian general says his forces will remain in parts of Georgia, and he accuses Tbilisi of preparing a new wave of attacks in South Ossetia.
Russian General Anatoly Nogovitsyn told reporters in Moscow Saturday that his country's forces will continue to patrol the Black Sea port city of Poti, as well as other areas that lie outside a designated security zone.
Nogovitsyn also warned that Russia could increase the size of its force in Georgia if the United States begins to help Georgia rebuild its military.
The action by the Russian military raises the question of how much control does President Medvedev and Prime Minister Putin have over the Russian military? They want respect as a major power, but they’re creating questions about themselves that is very, very embarassing for a wannabe major power. Not good.
You guys, I am not trying to be a “sky is falling” type of commenter, even though I am a worry wart, but this is escalatingn pretty quickly. I do think this is the beginning of WW3.
Ironic to AP.
South Ossetia was 30% ethnic Georgian.
