I've Got 2 Tickets To Putin-dise, Pack Your Bags We'll Leave Tonight!

If you are a Georgian citizen of Gori, chances are, you already left. As of this evening, Russian forces are entrenched on the outskirts of the city waiting on marching orders to return home at dusk. The question on everyones mind is whether or not the Russian troops will return to the August 6th levels as the cease-fire would indicate. Apparently, the troops had been ordered or requested to return to South Ossetia, but are yet to heed the word of the Russian government. Is this an example of the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing, or is it a case of the left hand is tightening its grip while the right hand prepares to draw the knife? Personally, I think that this is a test of the resolve of the west and the European Union. Recently, in what may very well be an attempt to "shine on" the Russians, Poland agreed to house the United States' missile defense shield. Obviously this action didn't please the Russians very much, how long will it be before Russian armor is on the outskirts of Warsaw? Paris? YahooNews
