The Times: Reports on the next flash point of the Ukraine, the President of Ukraine is supporting Georgia and is threatening to throw the Russian Navy out of the Ukraine. NATO should make the Ukraine a member quick, this would prevent any mistakes by Russia. The success so far in Georgia could make the leaders in Russia think that they can move in to former Republics or countries that made up the Warsaw Pact. This is the time to be firm with Russia, this War between Georgia and Russia is not over yet, one gets the impression from the TV and print media that this is over and Russia has won, its not how a War starts it how is finishes.

BBC News: Reports on the strong reaction by President Bush to the latest developments in Georgia. The President was highly critical of Russia and stated that USA military forces would help the civil population, the Cavalry has arrived in Georgia. The President stated the following, " I've also directed Secretary of Defense Bob Gates to begin a humanitarian mission to the people of Georgia, headed by the United States military. This mission will be vigorous and ongoing. A U.S. C-17 aircraft with humanitarian supplies is on its way. And in the days ahead we will use U.S. aircraft, as well as naval forces, to deliver humanitarian and medical supplies. " This is a strong message to Russia to get out out of Town, in a press Conference the Secretary Rice stated that the USA would not control the ports, but since the Georgian Army has been defeated and the Russians are the only game in town, the USA will have to take over these links in Georgia. I thought this crisis was over, what does Russia want, why risk being in the Cold over Georgia. Has Putin started to think that his press statements are true.
