Tanks have been seen in Gori.

Skynews journalist has confirmed seeing tanks patrolling the City of Gori. The reporter has confirmed they are Russian tank - soldiers even spoke to the journalists and introduced himself!

Everything points to the russians being in this for the long haul. I now have no doubt this will escalate to something much bigger.

Ive learned so much the past week its seriously insane. With all I know, nothing points this this being and staying an isolated deal.

I wouldn't be surprised if we hear in a couple of hours or a couple of days the fighting has once again started.

To quote myself.

Danish media have footage of Russian tanks heading into Gori, BBC too and Skynews journalist confirmed their presence.

AFP: Russia armed convoy heading towards Tbilisi.

They now say they have seen 3 Russian armored vehicles. No confirmation of any large massing of any tanks.

I am truly surprised that nobody has made the link regarding the US and Iran here and the geographic location of Georgia...also Georgia's US ties. I mean hmm...suppose the US attacked Iran, which it looks like it might do...that huge ship convoy might have something to do with it...If Russia would say want to support the Iranians how would they do that.???..hmmm.....Azerbaijan?? Yeah they might be able to just walk through Azerbaijan..yeah....however what would happen if UN or US troops landed in Georgia???? Hmmmmmmm....I guess Russian troops could potentially be cut off and trapped in Iran....There are other secret ally potentials that might prevent this scenario...however...hmmm...I guess it just makes sense to take out Georgia, they are really not going to put up much of a fight now are they....hmmm...unless the US or UN steps in.....which would put the US at a disadvantage regarding their Iranian intentions, and overextend themselves. That might be why nobody is helping the Georgians. They are expendable, and tactically untenable.

Uh, if you read the entire thread, this has been mentioned multiple times. Did the US push georgia to take the action they did? Possible, but we may never know.

You know, I wonder where all the peace protesters are at during this war?? Guess it doesn't fit into their schedule for the day.

Seems that Bush has ordered US Military Aircraft and Ships to deliver aid to Georgia.
I wonder how Russia is going to react to our military planes flying over a country that they are pretty much at war with.
It seemed like yesterday it was about over, when in reality the situation has gotten much worse.

Man I hope none of the Russian troops get itchy trigger fingers when those US planes are flying overhead. Things could go downhill very fast...

I agree that Russia would instruct it's troops not to fire on the US troops, but all it takes is one overzealous private or bloodthirsty merc to send the situation spiralling down the tubes.

People of the world! You deceive! World mass media conduct propagation of a false information. Russia DID NOT ATTACK Georgia! 07.08.2008 at 22:00 Georgia has attacked South Ossetia. At 3:30 08.08.2008 tanks of the Georgian armies have entered into city Tskhinvali. Artillery bombardment all the day long proceeded, fights with use of tanks and heavy combat material, both against ossetic armies, and against peace inhabitants were conducted. 2000 civil people already were lost. The Russian peacemakers have arrived to South Ossetia in the evening 08.08.2008 for settlement of the conflict and prompting of the world in republic and protection of the Russian citizens living on territory of South Ossetia. Georgia has attacked South Ossetia on eve of Olympiad, it is top of cruelty and cynicism. Proofs and video-materials look on : www.1tvrus.com, www.1tv.ru/owa/win/ort6_main.main , www.rian.ru, www.vesti.ru/news, news.ntv.ru, www.ren-tv.com, www.newsru.com. We shall tell is not present to WAR!!! NATO and USA ACCEPT ABKHAZIA AND S. OSETIA INDEPENDANCE It is right that attack on Tbilissi can be real. In fact georgia soldiers are capitulating. Kremlin oficial says that NATO and USA representors are ready to accept independance of Abkhazia and Osetia, and won't help Georgia.
