The guy who is travling with the Russian convoy on CNN has just stated the convoy has turned around. Maybe this is cat and mouse they are saying or maybe Russia is going to stay where they are and set up a buffer zone?

A convoy of Russian armored personnel carriers was heading deeper into Georgia Wednesday on a road that leads from Gori to Tbilisi, CNN Correspondent Matthew Chance reported.
Chance, on the road with the Russian column, said it was moving slowly south from Gori.
He said there were hundreds of men in personnel carriers.
CNN has been told by Georgian officials that the convoy would turn off the road to Tbilisi toward an abandoned Georgian military base.
