Georgia 'under attack' as Russian tanks roll in








TBLISI, Georgia (CNN) -- Georgia's president said Friday that his country is under attack by Russian tanks and warplanes, and he accused Russia of targeting civilians as tensions over the breakaway Georgian region of South Ossetia appeared to boil over into full-blown conflict.

Our paper this morning says that Russia is totally occupying the area.

I just heard the President say the US is sending Humanitarian relief for the people of Georgia..I pray Russia doesn't try and block it from coming in, that would really turn things ugly.

I wish I understood more of what's going on. I know that a poster gave some links a while back and I haven't taken the time to read them. I should!


I did read there's some major pipeline that goes through Georgia and they have been targetting it in attacks. I know it goes deeper than that but it's really getting too wild over there

I heard the President's message and a few other comments and it's starting to get scary.

OK because they hated to give it up, there is a oil line there, because they are just Russia and that's what they do.
