I know, that's definitely 'cart before the horse' stuff!

Two sides usually need to sign things before an agreement can be reached. Now they'll probably just say Russia broke the agreement, even though they haven't even signed it.

This is a really confusing stage...

Putin now says Russia will take the peacekeeping mission in S. Ossetia to a 'logical conclusions'... Whatever that means.

Wondered when that was going to come into play. I wonder if there is going to be any reaction to that, other than stern words. Anyone know how the US got them back there?

Whats with the 500 tanks and the live fighting in Gori as we speak then?

In Russia they detained nine agents of the Georgian intelligence agencies, which conducted reconnaissance and were prepared acts of terror in the territory of the country
Moscow. On August 11. INTERFAX.RU - the colleagues of the federal security service detained nine agents of the Georgian intelligence agencies, which “conducted reconnaissance of military targets and were prepared acts of terror, including in the territory RF”, reported on Monday to the President RF director the FSB Alexander [Bortnikov].

Next, or sooner than later, you may see these Georgian intelligence agents confessing on Russia TV that they were conducting "Terrorist reconnaissance" of Ossetia before the clash broke out.

Russia will not have corerced these people in anyway, so you can believe their testimony to their haneous crimes.

Like asen_2k said, it's a win-win situation for Russia to take Georgia.

Anyone know if the troops from Irag are back in Georgia yet,and if so where did they land if all the airports where bombed?

Yes, that's what I was thinking. It seems Georgia has signed this magic peace of paper, then has to cut short a phone interview with CNN because Russia are bombing near its palace.

9000 troops, 500 tanks...

Go figure.

Seems to me like they haven't tried to hard to conceal their role in this ( US ) , specially for those black guys , no other army in the region has black troops , they going to be a little conspicuous.

800 out of the 2000, what happened to the rest 1200? any idea?

reply to post by Rentor

Ok thanks,was it only 800?Sky was reporting some 2000 (i think) were going home to Georgia.Maybe I got that wrong.

reply to post by asen_y2k


There coming don't worry, its just 800 troops went first.They dived it up how they are taking them because they can't spare much more aircraft to transfer them all at once specially into a war zone

For those who are thinking about the oil connection.

Armed conflict sharply raises risks for oil and gas transit throughGeorgia - Troika Dialog analysts

MOSCOW. August 11. (Interfax) - Analysts from Troika Dialog
investment company have produced an analytical note titled "Georgia: How
Much Oil is at Stake?" on the situation facing energy transits
throughout the Transcaucasian region.

The analysts believe that the current conflict over South Ossetia
will raise the risks for transporting oil and gas through Georgian
territory.

"The situation in Georgia highlights the greatly increased risks
related to energy transits through this Transcaucasian state. In the
last five to 10 years, Georgia has become an important transit country
for crude and oil products heading mainly for Europe. The country is
also considered a possible transit route for a number of international
projects to bring Central Asian oil and gas to international markets,
including countries in the Black Sea region. The following
infrastructure would be at stake should hostilities intensify," the note
said.

It was 2000 at first, but then changed to half (or less than half it appears) for some reason.

Also, the US made eight trips - 100 soldiers on air-lift per trip.

It doesn't really say that the Russians signed it yet. So we don't have a cease fire until both sides sign it.
