The National Security Council's Lomaia said the Russians have bombed at least 15 Georgian sites including military bases, cities and villages. He said he was most concerned about the Russian Army's Tochka missile, which was deployed in Tskhinvali and shown on Russian TV. "In Georgia, the Tochka can reach the five largest cities," Lamaia explained. "They have not shot it yet, but why did they bring it?"

Back on the Georgian boarder in Tirzinsi village, five old men sat on the side of the road Sunday evening watching thousands of Georgian troops march out of South Ossetia. Two days earlier, these men had watched the same troops marching in the other direction. Ambulances zip by every few minutes with loud sirens and airplanes fly overhead every few hours. "One woman from our village and her cow were killed on this road yesterday," one man said. "We are poor enough, no war is needed to bring more trouble to Georgia."

Correction (published Aug. 11, 2008): Due to an editing error, the age of the girl killed in her apartment building was originally reported incorrectly. She was 2 years old.

    Georgia supported The United States'invasion on iraq,
    what crime iraqi people committed,
    have they weapons of mass destruction?
    but severly strike,
    tens of thousand were killed,
    and still killing.

    Who says,
    if america will kill our people,
    then we need not american friendship
    it must get out from here.

    So i ma talking about Georgia assistance,
    in invasion on Iraq,
    and killing lacs of innocent people,
    now facing itselfthe same circumstances,
    as iraqi people are going through.

    Face,
    what you have done,
    receive ,
    what have you paid

    And it is possible and so to write. Iraq, Afghanistan, Serbia, Ossetia. The leaders of USA should be arrested, tried and prosecuted by the world's court for terrorism against democracy and freedom. It is just incomprehensible that USA in the 21st century is getting away with this kind of militaristic stone age mentality.

    Oh, Bud - you first, on the front line - please - amuse us. We'll see you take on the Big, Bad Russian Bear! Or is it someone else who will do the fighting while you talk your cowardly mouth off?? So much for discourse and diplomacy. You and Sakaashivili were meant for each other - right out of the Stone Age!
