That's the idea.
American strategy is to give Russia two options; Withdraw or risk a war with America. The notion of US troops marching to Gori, now the front line, will worry Russian troops.
But, however, the militia's are the problem. Russia has no control over them - those groups are likely to attack American forces.

we have had Georgians fighting next to our men in the Iraqi war, if there country needs humanitarian aid , why not? Russia hasn't offered or mention aiding Georgians, they only want to help there own people. It is our duty to provide Georgians with this aid, and also protection from a country who has been stepping over its own bounds.
I say "If I could Vote for you Bush, right now I would kiss ya, thankyou for letting The Russians know we do possess a great level of resolve.
IN YOUR FACE PUTIN!!!

I don't know, but the Georgian President dropped an alarming statement - which the Pentagon rushed out to deny;
TBILISI, Georgia - President Mikhail Saakashvili told his people Wednesday that the U.S. military will take control of the ex-Soviet state's seaports and airports as part of a humanitarian aid mission amid Georgia's battle with Russia, but the Pentagon quickly shot down the claim.

or we can work together and take care of this mess, how about that?
it was a bad go of it for everyone involved, all the help in the world would be good, but right now
The USA was asked to come help, and we are...
If this ends up in a war with Russia it will because there efforts were based on a now broken hidden agenda,
because The USA does have the resolve to handle this totally!!!

Ok, everyone needs to take a chill pill. The US is sending in aid, not troops. Medical help, etc.
Russia said that the ports/airports will stay open.
The US probably won't be leaving the airport, just dropping stuff off and the Georgians will be taking it away.
The Russians fire up a US transport, they will have to answer to the international community.
