Russia leaving Georgia. For real this time. Honest.

Send the message missiles, we are leaving.

Mass the tanks, prepare firing solutions, fix bayonets, the cease fire and withdrawal has been found! Don't let anyone leave the cease fire alive!

Columns of Russian tanks were gathering on the road to Gori today as they appeared to be preparing for a mass withdrawal from the area.

Troops identified as peacekeepers, however, continued to man some checkpoints deep inside Georgia away from the agreed buffer zones where Russia is permitted to station its forces. The position of a checkpoint at Natsreti close to Gori raises questions about the extent of the security zone that Russia will continue to operate on Georgian soil.

Well played Russia. Call a cease fire, then move deeper into Georgia destroying as much infrastructure as you can, announce a withdrawal, but don't actually withdraw, just destroy more infrastructure, mass your tanks near the border and arbitrarily decide to operate your 'security zone' inside Georgia. I assume the next step is to say you've completely left when the tanks are still visibly inside Georgia? Brilliant.

I do like the peace plan you're working on. No mention of Georgia's territorial integrity or where Russian forces will be deployed in future. Magnificent. This is how you swat an annoying gnat. Bush, you aren't even the best at this kind of shit anymore. How far you've fallen. For shame. Hope you wanted to be a part of Russia again, Georgia. I think that's about a month away. Try and look surprised.
