The Russian Bear in Georgia

Fox News: Reports that Russians Troops don't seem to be moving back due to the conditions of the Ceasefire between Russian and Georgia. The Russians wont move in less they think that the West will place NATO troops in Georgia, it has to be a threat that the West will carry out, the Russians do not want to be seen as having been chased out of Georgia by the NATO. The setting of a deadline when NATO troops would arrive would make the Russians understand that they have to move back to home soil. This is not 1956 or 1968, Russia might have to learn that the hard way with NATO troops coming up the road to replace them on the border between Russia and Georgia.
