President George W. Bush's pledge to send aid to Georgia means that the U.S. military will take control of the ex-Soviet state's ports and airports, Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili said on Wednesday.

"You have heard the statement by the U.S. president that the United States is starting a military-humanitarian operation in Georgia," Saakashvili said in a television address.

"It means that Georgian ports and airports will be taken under the control of the U.S. defense ministry in order to conduct humanitarian and other missions. This is a very important statement for easing tension."

6. That's right. He also said we'd be doing this after talking with McCain.

We don't have the troops readily available to "hold" the airports and seaports.

I heard late last night that the russkies are going back home, anyhow...but I cannot seem to find a link...

Maybe I just dreamt it....
