Look at what the insurgency did to us. If Kerry won in 2004, the IRG would have won.
The problem with this idea is the Russians are not civilized. They will have no problem killing every civilian in Georgia. Is that a price Georgians want to pay for their freedom? We should have supplied them with modern weapons before the Russians invaded. Better late than never though.
If the Russians do honor the cease fire and pull back, we should supply the Georgians with these weapons and then blow up the tunnel. That would make supplying Ossedia much harder and expensive.
What did they do -- blow up a few bombs? Militarily the "insurgency" compared to the US Military was never more than a flea compared to an elephant. President Bush had the political will to demonstrate that fact, but it was always the objective reality, no matter who won the 2004 election.
The same is true in Georgia, only more so. Unlike the US in Iraq, Russia is fighting on their own doorstep. The "insurgents" in this case are pro-Russian. The Ossetians want to be part of Russia, not Georgia.
So you want to send weapons to Georgia so that they can fight the Russian military and the native population of Ossetians? And why is this something other than madness?
