“We absolutely don’t want that at this point. Give them the opportunity to “graciously leave.””

I don’t disagree. I wasn’t suggesting that we shoot at them – as Wretchard points out with rule #2. Nor even that the Georgians shoot at them.

I just meant that it does not seem to be the wisest position to be in where they could be trapped with few means of getting reinforcements/supplies except by air. And if the Georgians had the equipment to shoot planes down…

I don’t know a whole lot about military planning. But, this did not seem to be too smart unless there are other easy routes to get back home.
