Georgia 'under attack' as Russian tanks roll in

TBLISI, Georgia (CNN) -- Georgia's president said Friday that his country is under attack by Russian tanks and warplanes, and he accused Russia of targeting civilians as tensions over the breakaway Georgian region of South Ossetia appeared to boil over into full-blown conflict.

"All day today, they've been bombing Georgia from numerous warplanes and specifically targeting (the) civilian population, and we have scores of wounded and dead among (the) civilian population all around the country," President Mikhail Saakashvili told CNN in an exclusive interview.

"This is the worst nightmare one can encounter," he said.

Asked whether Georgia and Russia were now at war, he said, "My country is in self-defense against Russian aggression. Russian troops invaded Georgia."

The Republic of Georgia has 2,000 soldiers taking part in the Iraq occupation; earlier today, they asked President Bush to have them airlifted back home.

No response from the administration last I heard (3 or 4 hours ago).

its like a tom clancy book... oh wait!

[SaGa]

both sides do agree the "west" is the factor that determins the war. and since theres a pipeline running through geogia thats around the warzone amarica might not be happy to see it get hurt

[Gaf The Horse With Tears]

It's more complicated than that. Russia is adamantly opposed to Georgia joining NATO, which Georgia has applied for. Russia supports the break away republics that are not recognized by the international community as separate states than Georgia. Russia barely supports Georgia as a sovereign nation come to think of it.

[Simon Bar Sinister]

Cease fire declared; let's see if it's honored.

[AntiHero]

Something similar happened in Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon. Within two years of present date IIRC.

[Gaf The Horse With Tears]

No cease fire has be declared. Georgia is in the process of asking for one. Russia is in the process of bombing Georgia into the stone age.

I sent Condi Rice, Secretary of State Rice, over there. She'll be coming back to brief me on Saturday. I'm looking forward to hearing firsthand what she has seen, what she has heard. And I call for the territorial integrity of Georgia to be respected and the cease-fire agreement to be honored.
