Just heard a report that the US military was in Georgia doing training exercises with the Georgian military and just left yesterday.

I heard about 1,000 US Special Forces acting in a “training” capacity.
If they left yesterday I wonder then if we got a “heads up” to get out before the fur flies or did the Russians time their invasion to avoid any friction with our troops?

That doesn’t make sense if we just left yesterday. Wouldn’t Georgia be better off if they did this a couple of days ago with American troops there? We probably wouldn’t allow them to do anything but now its hands off, it appears.
To: Milwaukee_Guy
Good question. I just hope that they are indeed gone from the area as reported.

Hopefully, this will not escalate into a regional war. Oil will probably go through the roof on this news.....better go inflate your tires.../sarcasm

Interesting that Putin waited until today to send in the troops. I believe US troops were at VAZIANI MILITARY BASE,just yesterday, completing war games.

The Left will have to figure out a way to blame this on the U.S.

If only Obama was President already, he'd know how to make them stop fighting.
Can we move the election to tomorrow?

I wonder if Obama is worried about Russian tanks rolling into Atlanta?

Of course he is. Georgia is one of our 57 states.

http://english.pravda.ru/topic/georgia_ossetia-603/ Russia becomes officially involved in war against Georgia
08/08/2008 [article] / World / Former USSR
The Georgian aviation attacked South Ossetia on Friday morning. Five Su-25 fighter jets dropped bombs in the area of the town of S.Ossetian town of Tkverneti. The jets also bombed a humanitarian aid column. The President of North Ossetia, Teimuraz Mamsurov, who was traveling to South Ossetia in the column personally confirmed that the jet fighters attacked the column.
The intensive fighting began just hours after Georgia's president declared a unilateral cease-fire, officials on both sides said.

Unbelievable isn’t it. Iran threatens to close the Straits or Hormuz, Russia looks like it is invading Georgia and the democrats want to tap our SOR!
