Russian tanks roll deep into Georgia, break truce

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

Russian tanks rolled into the crossroads city of Gori on Wednesday then thrust deep into Georgian territory, violating the truce designed to end the six-day war that has uprooted 100,000 people and scarred the Georgian landscape.

Georgian officials said Gori was looted and bombed by the Russians. An AP reporter later saw dozens of tanks and military vehicles leaving the city, roaring south.

Troops waved at journalists and one soldier jokingly shouted to a photographer: "Come with us, beauty, we're going to Tbilisi!"

To the west, Abkahzian separatist forces backed by Russian military might pushed out Georgian troops and even moved into Georgian territory, defiantly planting a flag.

"The border has been along this river for 1,000 years," separatist official Ruslan Kishmaria told AP on Wednesday. He said Georgia would have to accept the new border and taunted the retreating Georgian forces, saying they had received "American training in running away."

Where Mad Vlad considers Georgia's border with Russia to be:

• in south, with Turkey and Armenia
• in east, with Azerbaijan

(of course, the only international border he recognises of THOSE republics is that with Iran and Turkey) Edited August 13, 2008 by CherryXS
