Putin warned Georgia it would retaliate for attack on breakaway province

TBILISI, Georgia - Russian troops moved into South Ossetia hours after Prime Minister Vladimir Putin warned Georgia that its attack on the breakaway region would draw retaliation, Russian television reported Friday.

The Russian move comes after Georgian troops launched a major military offensive earlier Friday to regain control over South Ossetia and the president accused Russia, which has close ties to the separatists, of bombing Georgian territory.

The fighting in South Ossetia has raised fears of an all-out war that could draw in Russia, which has peacekeepers in the region. Putin said an unspecified number of the peacekeepers have been wounded.

I seriously wonder how many rednecks ran to the closet to grab their shotguns when they heard this on the radio this morning.

When Bush heard this news he was ready to rush back to the US from China until his aides advised him "Not that Georgia Dubya".
