Two days ago we were all postulating that Putin would lay-up for one night and he did last night.

Then when he woke up this morning, he turned on CNN and after watching Wolf Blitzer, decided it was safe to move his tank column south towards Tbilisi. For breakfast, he took out all of the Georgian Coast Guard patrol boats on the Black Sea … (the few ships in the Georgian Navy were sunk yesterday in a sea battle), for lunch he took control of the east-west highway, for dinner, he has the Chechen thugs and Russian “patriots” raping, looting and burning Gori. This is all before the ink is dry on the cease fire. He’s on a roll!

Its my bet that tomorrow he’ll go for the banquet…bypassing Tbilisi,and grab “The Prize” – the B-T-C pipeline. This is looking ugly!
