Reports of both sides not following the cease fire. Ossetian looters in Gori. Russians claim Georgians still in firing positions and have snipers, Russians not backing off from main national highway or other positions. Russian officials STILL claim they and their subordinates are not in Gori, although Al Jazeera has video evidence of the fighting there. "Not entered" might be a linguistic trick.
In the Western port city of Poti, Russian ships sunk Georgian ships, long after the ceasefire was called.
AND!!!!
America is sending troops to Georgia as peacekeepers and for humanitarian aid....

I have changed it to could, though I think that a war would bring out all the pluses in McCain. A war with the Commie threat is no time for a man who doesn't love America and can't say the pledge of Allegiance. (All propaganda I know).

We'll see what happens next.

I don't know, really. The fact that what seems to have won over a lot of Obama's supporters is his policies on the Iraq war, could possibly suggest him keeping such supporters, were this conflict to escalate.
It would all depend on how he addressed the conflict, again - were it to escalate to involve NATO, (which I highly doubt will happen).

Obama will speak of peace. He won't retract the US soldiers from Georgia, but will go against anything that might make this conflict escalade in importance. And he will surely not involve NATO in this.
II guess we can say the Russians timed their attack pretty well.
