The US could shut down the Russians in Georgia in about three hours. It’s not very far from Incirlik to Georgia. I know. I made that flight once. It was a mistake. Almost got us splashed.

One AWACS, two KC-135′s, four Wild Weasels, four F-22′s, some F-16′s and F-15′s. Russian tanks and vehicles all gone. A GBU-28 takes out the tunnel.

They’re sitting on the ramp right now. With no armor and no supplies the Georgians can do the mop-up quite handily.
