This time, it is Russia's turn:

A convoy of Russian tanks and troops is reportedly moving toward South Ossetia's capital as Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin declares 'the war has started'.

Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov said: "War started today in South Ossetia when Georgia attacked Russian peacekeepers in the disputed region."

Earlier an official in Georgia's National Security Council said Russia invaded Georgia.

Kakha Lamaia said: "If it's not war, then we are very close to it. The Russians have invaded Georgia and we are under attack."

Georgian President Mikhail Saakasvili told CNN: "Russia is fighting a war with us in our own territory.

"This is a clear intrusion on another country's territory. We have Russian tanks on our territory, jets on our territory in broad daylight."

What a great legal precedent we've set with pre-emptive war doctrine. I feel so much safer now.

"Russian peacekeepers". No

"Russian peacekeepers".
No wonder Putin and Bush could become such fast friends! That has to be at least as deceptive double talk as "Evil doers"
