peace in our time
i hold in my hand a piece of paper signed by the president of Russia guaranteeing a cease fire and withdrawal from Georgia.

is it time to send stinger missiles and anti-tank rockets to Georgia? You Russians remember them from Afghanistan don't you? Maybe you need a refresher course.
I think so... but we should do it Korean War style; using the Russian model. They sent 'volunteers'... and first line commie equipment, ala Flying Tigers pre-WWII. I'm sure we can scrounge a few attack helicopter squadrons, a few a-10 wings, some F-22's, AWACS, J-Stars.. all volunteer, mind you; with the appropriate georgian markings. They need not be all american volunteers... I'm sure there's more than a few eastern europeans that would love to join the effort... Latvians, Lithuanians, Estonians, Ukranians, poles would all love to come and play.
Since the only 2 ways into georgia from russia are through the mountain passes up behind s. ossetia and abkahzia; close them down first. Then destroy anything that flys or attempts to drive over the border.. Once ingress and egress to the battle zone is secured, rip the russian armor and arty to shreds, piece, by piece. Use our elint and tracking systems to destroy every single piece of russian and separatist commo gear that comes up on the air.
When it's over, deport every russian passport holder back to russia... along with their 'peekeepers', and hand over administration of the separatist area's to a true multinational peekeeping force.
