Russia Invades Georgia

[NJ5]

Apparently the Georgian army has retreated to the capital, with the Russians having taken over military bases near both Ossetia and Abkhazia. Will the Russians go for the big one, or are they already confident that Georgia's leader will have to step down?

Reuters reporters said that they didn't see Russian troops in Gori, but they did confirm the Georgians' retreat to the capital.

Two Reuters reporters in Gori said they saw no evidence of a substantial Russian presence in the town.

One said he saw Georgian soldiers leaving in convoys. The second reporters said: "We are right now driving through the town and I see no trace of troops or military vehicles. It is absolutely deserted." The reporter said he later saw a Georgian armoured personnel carrier on fire east of Gori on the highway to Tbilisi. A long convoy of Georgian military trucks was heading away from Gori towards the capital.
