Many many people and things are already in Tbilisi, and much aid has already arrived there. Bush didn't waste any time.
Condi apparently tomorrow.
I had a wonderful phone call from my friend in Tbilisi just a few minutes ago and she asked me to say this to all Americans - Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

By the way I know some things about who and what was in Tbilisi when the Russians were bombing the rest of Georgia.
And you betcha the Russians were never going to bomb Tbilisi.

This is why the leader of the free world absolutely has to have both brains and grit; spine tingling oratory skills are not a suitable substitute!

Yes, let's keep in touch. My friend works at the Sheraton and knew who the guests were. She said it was full during the bombing. It is huge, I have stayed there.
She is going to call me back in a few days.

The picture is telling. Bush appears intense, even angry. Putin appears defensive and wrongfotted.
Now picture the same situation with Obama replacing Bush.
I saw the start of this confrontation on TV....Bush sought Putin out like a Stinger missile...Putin was trying to avoid him.

US plans aid to Georgia as Russia rolls into city************************EXCERPT*******************
Aug 13, 3:22 PM (ET)
By CHRISTOPHER TORCHIA and MATTI FRIEDMAN
OUTSIDE GORI, Georgia (AP) - Russian troops and paramilitaries rolled into the strategic Georgian city of Gori on Wednesday, apparently violating a truce designed to end the conflict that has uprooted tens of thousands and scarred the Georgian landscape.
In Washington, President Bush said the United States planned a massive humanitarian effort involving American ships and aircraft, includiung a C-17 military cargo plane loaded with supplies that landed on Wednesday.
He said Russia must ensure that "all lines of communication and transport, including seaports, roads and airports," remain open to let deliveries and civilians through.
Georgian officials said Gori, a central hub on Georgia's main east-west highway, was looted and bombed by the Russians before they left later in the day and camped nearby.

Moscow denied the accusations, but it appeared to be on a technicality: a BBC reporter in Gori reported that Russians tanks were in the streets as their South Ossetian separatist allies seized Georgian cars, looted Georgian homes and then set some homes ablaze.
"Russia has treacherously broken its word," Georgia's Security Council chief Alexander Lomaia said Wednesday in Tbilisi, the capital.
An AP reporter saw dozens of trucks and armored vehicles leaving Gori, roaring southeast. Soldiers waved at journalists and one soldier jokingly shouted to a photographer: "Come with us, beauty, we're going to Tbilisi!"

I understand OUR military is heading for Gori or even there now.

From the article:
President Bush dispatched US military hardware to the heart of the Caucasus today
Course that is C-17s with Humanitarian Aid......

Squaring up is one thing. But what is needed is a good poke in the nose.

"Not for long. I understand OUR military is heading for Gori or even there now.
But Gori is full of Russians! That would be a huge battle.
