If it's true Russia lost at least 17 fighter jets, then that would mean over 800$ million lost (The average MIG 29-35 goes for 57 million$).
In close to a Billion for that alone, not-to-mention the cost of deployment, artillary and bombs, that's easily 2 billion spent on this 4 day war.
I'm wondering if that doesn't have something to do with their stoppage at this point as well.
Putin can't be happy with the Russia Prez, or it is part of a broader strategy.
TBILISI, Georgia (AP) - The head of Georgia's national security council says about 50 Russian tanks have entered the strategic city of Gori despite a cease-fire agreement.
Alexander Lomaia said Wednesday that the tanks entered the city about 9:45 a.m. (0545 GMT), about eight hours after Georgia accepted a cease-fire previously agreed by Russia to end the conflict that broke out last week.

Real good question Chips.
The only logical answer I believe, if this is true, is that Russia is taking Georgia systematically a piece at a time, slowly but surely.
The peace agreement was just to buy time then .. stave of NATO for awhile - keep US and NATO from drafing a resolution that would send peacekeepers to the region.
Russia sure does things in the most weird ill-logical ways, but there is a goal and that one must be to expand and secure the region.

So even members of the cabinet of that globalist Sarkozy admits that Georgia started it all but spin it saying that it was a trap by Russia.
BBC don't say that Gori was EVER invaded by Russia. Only bombed and the Georgian army retreating. Here.
jetxnet, will you stop your BS please? You're the only one spouting BS saying that Russia always lies when in fact they've been accurate in their reports all along.

Yeah... Head of Georgian National Security Council and Sky News... come on, like we can believe that when all their previous reports were BS.

The entire road map section for Georgia has been wiped clean from google maps.. No road date is visable.. The satalite view is still available but not the road map view.
If they are blacking out the map of the area .. Something seriusly is wacked.
