Georgia Says Russian Troops Still Fighting Despite Accord

We're in such a good diplomatic position on this. Condi back from her vaca yet?


MOSCOW — Georgia on Wednesday accused Russia of attacking and occupying the central Georgian city of Gori, in flagrant defiance of an agreement struck only hours earlier to end the war that flared up last week.

There were unconfirmed reports that a column of Russian tanks had left Gori and was on the road toward Tblisi, the Russian capital.

“As I speak, Russian tanks are attacking the town of Gori,” Mr. Saakashvili said. His protests were joined by the leaders of several former Soviet countries from Eastern European, who were in Tblisi to show their support for Georgia.
