Russia has placed short range SS-21 missiles in South Ossetia, that could pose a threat to most major Georgian cities,” including the capital, Tbilisi, a U.S.Defense official confirmed to FOX News on Monday.
“Anything such as that, or any other military equipment that was moved in would be in violation of this cease-fire and should be removed immediately,” Pentagon Spokesman Bryan Whitman said. “The only forces that are permitted to remain under the cease fire agreement are the forces that were in there at the Aug. 6 time frame.”
This news came as Russia’s deputy chief of staff insists that Russian troops were pulling out of the breakaway region. However, there have been no confirmed signs of a withdrawal.
Russia’s deputy chief of staff Col.-Gen. Anatoly Nogovitsyn told a briefing in Moscow that “today, according to the peace plan, the withdrawal of Russian peacekeepers and reinforcements has begun” and said forces were leaving Gori.

However in Gori, Russian forces seemed to be solidifying their positions and the only movement seen by Associated Press reporters was in the opposite direction from Russia — toward the Georgian capital of Tbilisi, 55 miles to the east.

Do the Russians not know that only Americans, under the guise of humanitarian aid, are allowed to fly weapons into Georgia.
Only the criminal Bush administration is allowed to lie, cheat, mislead and deceive. Other countries are expected to subserviently and thankfully obey the American Fuhrer, ahem Decider.

Absolutely right Hans. To add a bit to what you already said. Have you ever notice “the arrogant one” W Bush almost always says the words “WE EXPECT YOU TOO” comply, or retreat or obey. WHAT AN ARROGANT ASSHOLE. Do you realize this is the guy who supposedly represents all of America! This is the guy who supposedly represents all of the people. What a disgrace.
Also, Condi (I ain’t kiss’in that) Rice, is programed with the exact same software. We expect, the world community expects.
I tell you what the American people expect from this current Neo-Con administration. Come next January, the American people are going to point you the way OUT, and “don’t let the door hit you in the ass”. And don’t even think of some “false flag” terrorist plot for our beloved country. We’ve smartened up since the last two bogus rrrrr Diebold elections. We are watching. And we are communicating with each other so war mongering neocons will never be elected to any office again.!!
