Interesting News: Edwards campaign giving refunds, but not to small donors.
This is a very interesting news, which comes to us, by fellow Conservative Blogger LBG1 over at Death by 1000 Papercuts or DBKP for short.
It seems that John Edwards is giving much of his money back to the “Big Bundlers” some of whom are convicted felons. But according to DBKP, not much of it is going back to the Grassroots supporters.
LBG1 Writes:
We found it interesting, at a time when Warren Buffet on CNBC This Morning (courtesy Mickey Kaus at Slate) mused whether Edwards’ contributors should file a class-action suit to get their money back, there’s a whole other “class” of individuals who’ve received their refund. And what an interesting “class” we found:
Out of 667 “bundlers” or designated fundraisers, 276 or 40%, had received a refund of their individual contributions. Not only did the individual bundlers get their money back but in some cases so did their family members.
Other refundees included Fred Baron, Edwards’ former national finance campaign chairman in both the ‘04 and ‘08 elections. Baron recently admitted that he had been monetarily “helping” Edwards’ ex-mistress, Rielle Hunter. The list includes some of Edwards’ largest bundlers, Thomas Girardi, John O’Quinn, and William Lerash, as well as other “famous” refundees: Michael Eisner, Don Henley, Eric Montross, and Michigan Congressman (D) David Bonoir of Michigan.
We took a look at the Edwards campaign website to see if there was any info listed on how to get a refund and came up empty-handed.
We’ve included a list of Edward’s bundlers who have received a refund as well the “moneybags” behind Edwards who got their money back too:
According to Insider Exclusive, Thomas Girardi was named the “The Billion Dollar Gentleman” by the L.A. Daily Journal for $1 billion in verdicts and settlements over a two-year period.
According to Opensecrets.org, Girardi’s firm, Girardi and Keese donated $43,000 to Edwards’ campaign. Thomas Girardi, the founder of the firm, received his Edwards’ refund check as well as members of his family.
Interesting indeed, one has to wonder why the MSM has not covered this story? Could it be that they were possibly bought off by Edwards to prevent him for going though anymore embarrassment? I mean the Liberal media did seem to have a very cozy relationship with Edwards, when they were not ignoring him.
It just makes me wonder, if Edward’s donors, the one’s who gave of their time, money and resources will be wanting their money back. I will admit this, I kind of did like Edwards, his laid back southern manner appealed to the Southern man in me. Although, I did find his politics quite hypocritical, considering how he lived on a multi-million dollar ranch and all.
An exit question: Is Hillary refunding any of her donations?

A Pity: Man with guns, tries to check into same hotel as Pelosi, Pelosi unhurt.
I am watching that Communist Liberal idiot Bitch on MSNBC’s Meet the Press. She’s trying, very poorly, to defend her position of being against offshore drilling. She’s a living, breathing example of why a woman, much less, a Liberal woman, has no place in politics. She needs to go home and bake cookies and leave the politics to the men folk.
The Story: Man arrested carrying weapons at Pelosi hotel (Via The Denver Post)
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was briefly evacuated from her downtown Denver hotel on Saturday when a man carrying two hunting rifles and two pistols tried to check in to the hotel.
Secret Service spokesman Malcolm Wiley said 29-year-old Joseph Calanchini of Pinedale, Wyo., faces a charge of unlawful carrying of a weapon after police officers at the Grand Hyatt hotel noticed him carrying a rifle-type case while checking in. Calanchini did not have a concealed weapons permit, said Lance Clem, spokesman for the Colorado Department of Public Safety.
Wiley said authorities were not releasing information about whether the weapons were loaded because the case remained under investigation. Wiley said the charge is the same whether the weapons were loaded or unloaded.
Pelosi and other guests briefly evacuated the hotel but were never in danger, Pelosi spokesman Brendan Daly said.
Calanchini remained at Denver City Jail Sunday on $10,000 bond, said Denver Sheriff’s Deputy Danny Steckman.
Authorities were investigating a report that Calanchini was in town on business and had had the weapons worked upon, including mounting of site scopes, to prepare for an upcoming hunting trip.
“The speaker was never in any danger and she appreciates the quick and professional response of the police,” said Daly.
Arrested?? The guy deserves a damn medal. It’s just a damn pity that the guy was not there to put that miserable communist liberal bitch out of her own misery.
I’m Paleo Pat and I approve this message. 😛

Memo to the Clinton supporters: Will you just get the hell over it already?
Jesus H. freakin’ Christ, this election cycle, for a Blogger like me, is like leading a circular firing squad.
First off, we have Neo-Conservative idiot William Kristol wanting to see nothing short of a floor fight at the Democratic Convention. Oh, I am absolutely sure that Kristol and his gang of Neo-Conservative morons would love nothing more than to see a giant floor fight, complete with (dare I say it?) the assassination of Barack Obama and the chaotic collapse of the Democratic Party into a smoldering heap. This all would be so the Neo-Conservatives could get to John McCain and continue to control Washington D.C. for the next 4 years. Thereby truly continuing the Neo-Conservative agenda in this Country.
Two words Kristol: Keep Dreaming!
If that is not enough to make a man want to take up drinking stiff whiskey, you have former Hillary supporters who are outraged! Outraged, I say! About the fact that Hillary Clinton was not even offered the position of Vice President.
Remember what I said about that circular firing squad? Well, hold on, hope you don’t get dizzy easy.
Listen people, Hillary Clinton, by most accounts, did not even WANT the job of Barack Obama’s Vice President. If she even did, could you freakin’ imagine that vetting process? I mean, people, Bill Clinton took funding from suspected terrorists overseas to build that freakin’ library of his! Not mention the fact that Bill Clinton seriously screwed over a guy, by the name of Peter F. Paul, who was business partners with Stan Lee. Heck, Peter F. Paul has living breathing evidence that Hillary Herself committed a felony during her fundrasing during her senate election campaign.
Not to even mention that if Barry had said, “Okay, forget the vetting, you can be my V.P.” Could you imagine that absolute shit-storm that the far, far, right would have created had Hillary been accepted for the Vice President? You have to know that the far right would have been digging for every last piece of media footage from the Waco compound siege in Waco, Texas and using it for Ads against Obama. Not to mention, The Monica scandal, Travel Gate, White Water, Vince Foster, and the list goes on and on and on and on.
Barack Obama might be a far lefty Liberal, but people, he is no dummy. Yeah, Biden might have a little baggage from a 1988 President campaign when he copied a speech. But honestly, that is absolutely nothing like the baggage that Hillary Clinton comes with. I mean, the two just are not comparable.
To the hardened Hillary supporters, I simply say this. I do not like anymore than you that Hillary lost. I think what the Democrat Party did here in Michigan and in Florida was absolutely wrong. But, unless your Party does something to change the rules of selection for President of United States, there’s nothing that can be done about it. The states moved up their primaries, and the DNC decided to punish them for it. Unless there are rule changes, that is just the way it is. I mean, standing around sucking your thumb and stamping your feet is not going to change a thing. I mean, seriously, do you, as an American citizen want to see four more years of George W. Bush?!?!?! That would be absolutely insane. You all just need to get the hell over it, and hope the Hillary decides to run again in 2012 or 2016. By that time, if Barry is a lame duck by then, Hillary will have a clear shot at the White House. That is, if she has not stroked out or something.

As I expected…..
The McCain campaign is already rolling out ads against Biden.
This coming from an old fool, who cannot even tell people how many houses he owns.
Quote:
“I think — I’ll have my staff get to you,” McCain told Politico in Las Cruces, N.M. “It’s condominiums where — I’ll have them get to you.“
If he doesn’t how many houses he owns, how can he possibly criticize anyone else?
….and don’t even get me started on McCain’s integrity. (can you say….Keating five?)

It is official: Obama/Biden for 2008
You know it’s a big Political story when I bounce my fat butt out of bed at 7:00 in the morning! 😀 😉
I’m talking about the big, Big, BIG story…. That Barack Obama has selected Joe Biden for his running mate for President of the United States.
You have to know that John McCain’s campaign is in “Oh Crap!” and hunker down mode right about now. Because no matter who John McCain selects as his running mate, he is going to be a open target for Obama’s new attack dog.
I mean, at this point, no matter who McCain selects, McCain is going to have trouble. If McCain selects Joe Lieberman, McCain will be seen by the Republican and Conservative base as a traitor. If McCain selects Mitt Romney, he will be seen by the majority of America as a out of touch, rich elitist. Heck, even Tom Ridge is not ever well liked by the Republican base. So, unless McCain picks a second tier political person, McCain is going to be screwed.
I mean consider this statement by the campaign:
“There has been no harsher critic of Barack Obama’s lack of experience than Joe Biden,” said McCain spokesman Ben Porritt. “Biden has denounced Barack Obama’s poor foreign policy judgment and has strongly argued in his own words what Americans are quickly realizing — that Barack Obama is not ready to be President.”
One Word: Lame. Seriously, is that the best damned line that the John McCain’s herd of paid lackeys could come up with? Bringing up something from the Primary?!?!?!
What does Biden brings to the table? Experience of all sorts, Foreign Policy, DC Beltway, and just a general sense of “I’ve been around for a while”. Not to mention, he makes one hell of a good attack dog. He is, in fact, a Kennedy type, except for that he’s not nearly as wealthy. So, he’s the real deal. Disclosure: I would have voted for Biden, had he made it to the Michigan Primary.
You know, I am well-known on this blog for my quite controversial statements. So, as a parting shot, let me hand this word of warning to the McCain campaign. John McCain had better hide his balls in Cindy’s purse, because if he doesn’t, Joe Biden will hand McCain’s balls to him on a plate and will make him eat them.
It is going to be one HELL of interesting election season.

The Right hits back, HARD!
I guess this whole idea of a new kind of Politics and not fighting a nasty campaign just went out the window…
Here’s a new video made by The American Issues Project: (H/T The Politico)
Ben Smith Writes:
A new conservative group has produced a television ad attacking Barack Obama for his relationship with former Weather Underground bomber Bill Ayers.
“How much do your really know about Barack Obama? What does he really believe?” asks the ad, which then cites the failed attack on the Capitol on 9/11, and links it to the Weather Underground attack on the Capitol decades earlier.
The group says it will spend $2.8 million airing the ad in Ohio and Michigan — which would be the largest single third-party expenditure this cycle.
“Why would Barack Obama be friends with someone who bombed the Capitol and is proud of it?” asks the narrator. “Do you know enough to elect Barack Obama?”
The group, the American Issues Project, is a 501(c)4 — which means it isn’t required to disclose its donors. According to a press release set to go out shortly, it’s the product of a coalition of conservative groups (Failor said his Iowans for Tax Relief is not among them). Its president is Ed Martin, a Missouri conservative. Another official, Ed Failor Jr., is a former McCain aide in Iowa who left after the campaign’s shakeup last summer.
The substance of the ad matches a recent upswing in the McCain campaign’s references to Ayers. The use of 9/11 imagery links Ayers, and Obama, to the American conflict Islamic terror, which is the subject of many viral e-mails attacking Obama.
The group’s spokesman, Christian Pinkston, called the suggestion that the group is making any link with Islam “unfair.”
“The idea here was to talk about the fact that his friends hate America, and that’s who he’s aligning himself with,” he said.
It’s spokesman, Christian Pinkston, is a former aide to presidential candidate Jack Kemp and went on to run the conservative group Empower America.
Pinkston says the ad will launch later this afternoon.
Of course the Obama Campaign is not taking this laying down at all, they issued a statement on the ad saying:
The fact that John McCain dispatched his paid consultant to launch
this despicable ad from a so-called ‘independent’ committee shows how
desperate he is to change the subject from his shocking disconnect with
the economic struggles of the American people. He knows that Barack
Obama has denounced the detestable crimes that Bill Ayers committed 40
years ago.Instead of invoking Paris, Britney and obscure ’60s radicals, Sen.
McCain should take the day off at one of his seven homes to consider
whether his support for outsourcing, tax breaks for companies who ship
jobs overseas and continued spending of $10 billion a month in Iraq is
really putting “country first.” To us, it sounds like just more of the
same. – Obama spokesman Tommy Vietor
How weak! I would have quickly produced a video that linked McCain to lobbyists and mentioned the supposed, never proven, so-called, affair that he had with a lobbyist. That would have shut them up, right away. But instead, they put out a weakly worded statement like that. Score one for McCain, I say. Plus, there’s no proof that McCain was linked to this group at all. So, again, the response was quite weak.
Look, If Obama is going to win this horse race, he had better learn to fight like pit bill and not a poodle. Because if he doesn’t Bulldog McCain is going to eat him alive.

Update on Democratic Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones
Update on this sad story:
She is not dead. But the prognoses is quite grim.
Video:
News is Via CNN:
Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones of Ohio, a Democratic superdelegate and one of Hillary Clinton’s most ardent supporters, was hospitalized in critical condition Wednesday after suffering an aneurysm, the hospital said.
< Dr. Gus Kious, chief of staff at Huron Hospital in East Cleveland, Ohio, said that Tubbs Jones had “very limited brain function” and that the aneurysm is in “an inaccessible part of her brain.”
“She remains in critical condition at present in our intensive care unit. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family at this very difficult time,” Kious said.
Earlier reports had said Tubbs Jones had died.
This statement from Senator Clinton is in response to the news of Congresswoman Stephanie Tubbs Jones’s aneurysm and hospitalization. We are all praying for Stephanie and her family during this difficult time.
“Stephanie is a strong, remarkable woman with an incredible fighting spirit. My thoughts and prayers are with my dear friend Stephanie and her family at this difficult time,” said Senator Hillary Clinton.
Senator Barack Obama made the following statement regarding today’s news about Congresswoman Stephanie Tubbs Jones:
“Michelle and I are saddened to hear today’s news about Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones. She is a passionate and tireless advocate for the people of Cleveland and a devoted public servant for all Americans. We send our heartfelt prayers to Stephanie and her family at this very difficult time.”
This is a very sad story. What makes it worse, is the fact that some News agencies and yes, even some bloggers totally screwed the news up and reported her as dead. What makes it even worse is some idiotic Hillary supporters are going around saying that Obama had her killed. This is totally asinine. They should be ashamed of themselves for disrespecting the family like that.
As I wrote before, my thoughts and prayers are with the family on this truly sad day.
Update: Rep. Jones has died. RIP
Democratic Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones injured in a one car accident…
This came across twitter this afternoon. This story has not even reach national levels yet. CNN is now trying to confirm the story.
(H/T to BlogsOfWar)
Via Fox Cleveland:
U.S. Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones remains unconscious Wednesday morning
after suffering an aneurysm while driving on Tuesday night.According to a press release from Tubbs Jones office, the five term Congresswoman
was admitted to Huron Hospital after suffering an aneurysm while
driving her car in Cleveland Heights.According to the release, Tubbs Jones condition has stabilized and she is receiving the best care available.
According to a spokesperson with the Cleveland Heights Police Department,
approximately 9:00 pm on Tuesday a Cleveland Heights Police Officer
observed Tubbs Jones car traveling eastbound on Mayfield Road, weaving
from side to side. At Lee Road the car turned left and the officer
followed. The car slid off the road into a grassy area near the
intersection of Lee Road and Monticello Boulevard.Police tell Fox 8’s Todd Meany that the congresswoman was transported to Huron
Hospital in East Cleveland after what they are describing as a “one-car
accident.”A statement from Tubbs Jones’ office indicated that Tuesday’s condition followed a full day of activity, including planning for an upcoming forum on electoral reform, scheduled for
September 4, 2008 at Cleveland State University. Congresswoman Tubbs Jones was scheduled to travel to Denver on August 24, 2008 to attend the Democratic National Convention as a superdelegate
You know Politics is one thing, but real life is another. This woman is/was a fighter, a real fighter. She would get on MSNBC and go toe to toe with Tucker Carlson. She once told Tucker Carlson to “Get a life”, live on the air. Which I thought was absolutely hilarious. It is a sad day in politics and in the black Community.
There is a good possibility that she might not be dead. Someone blew it somewhere…

Obama V.P. Speculation
Normally, I wouldn’t care. But seeing it’s the big thing right now. I’ll jump on the bandwagon here.
MSNBC Says it’s Biden:
Within the last few hours I’ve spoken with two
of the finalists for the role of Barack Obama’s running-mate, and to
two other sources who are close to the process.My bottom line
is this: Barring a big surprise or last-minute change of heart, the
choice is likely to be Sen. Joe Biden of Delaware, chairman of the
Foreign Relations Committee.He is a
lively and feisty if unpredictable campaigner with working-class roots
and a street-level feel for the hot spots of the globe — which he can
use to go toe-to-toe with Sen. John McCain.“If I had to bet my life on it, I’d bet it is Joe,” said one of the other contenders.
Said another, “Barack is moving toward a seasoned Beltway type, and that probably means Biden.”
And a source personally close to Obama simply said “Biden makes the most sense.”
Biden would make sense, he’s got the foreign policy and he would make one hell of a good attack dog.
This Blogger says that it’s Kathleen Sebelius:
We have a credible lead that Barack Obama will be announcing Kathleen Sebelius for Vice President / VP.
Our sources work within an ad agency that is hired by the Obama
campaign, and have noted that the vast majority of the discussions
there are regarding material logistics in terms of Kathleen on the vice
president ticket. Now until this is verified please file it as rumor,
however our sources on this are not bad.. and have yet to be proven
wrong.Our source noted “It will get a women on the ticket that shares the
same views as Obama” a reference to many of the Hillary supporters..Then of course we had to do some research.
We held some general opinions prior to this little research project.
One of them being that they wouldn’t have multiple domain providers, it
becomes a hassle.. so the chances are they used the same registrar.
He goes to show that the Obama campaign bought the domain OBAMASEBELIUS.COM. Kathleen Sebelius would make sense as well, as she would possibly bring Hillary voters to the ticket. Except for the idiotic PUMA group. Which has all of about 250 people.
Other people being discussed are Bill Richardson, who would bring some serious foreign policy credentials to the Obama campaign. (Despite what some idiotic Republicans say about that…)
Either way, I believe no one is going to have the actual “inside track” on whom Obama will pick, obviously it will be someone that will help and not hurt his campaign.

Roman Catholic Thug Bill Donohue wants to control free speech.
This is stupid beyond words.
Via Catholic League:
“The list of credentialed blogs include radical sites like The Daily Kos. Worse are blogs that feature anti-Catholic and obscene material. The two most offensive are Bitch Ph.D. and Towleroad.
“On the home page of Bitch Ph.D. there is a picture of two children: one of them is shown flashing his middle finger. Today’s lead post, which was written August 17, is called ‘Jesus Christ.’ It begins with, ‘I’m a really crappy Catholic who hasn’t been to mass in ages because most parishes around here ‘will’ insist on being aggressively anti-abortion….’ The writer then objects to some children’s toys on the grounds that they are more offensive than desecrating the Eucharist. The toys are actually balloons that have been made to depict Jesus in various poses, including a crucified Christ; one of these images shows Jesus with a penis. Several who commented on this image made patently obscene comments.
“Towleroad describes itself as ‘A Site with Homosexual Tendencies.’ Accordingly, it shows men in jock straps and underwear. It also has a post on Pope Benedict XVI that takes him to task for wearing a cape with ermine. Some of those who commented on this described the pope in a vile and profane way.
“Both of these blogs should be cut immediately from the list of credentialed sites. Neither functions as a responsible media outlet and both offend Catholics, as well as others. To allow them access to the Democratic National Convention sends a message to Catholics they will not forget. We look for Leah Daughtry, CEO of the Convention, to nix them ASAP.”
I tend to believe that Mr. Donohue might want to rethink his position on this, because insulting the Catholic Church is one thing, but suppression of free speech is another, especially in the Blogging world. This could backfire in the face of Bill and his band of idiots.

The Week in Review (Open Trackback)
Here’s my bi weekly open trackback posting…
The neighborhood had it’s yearly cookout. I ate good, a good time was had by all. It was a wee bit hot out for me. I couldn’t stay in that direct sunlight, My medication won’t let me, makes me sick. So, I was in and out all day.
Other than that, I had a good time.
In other news:
The magic one was caught in a lie.
I shared my thoughts on the CNN/Rick Warren dog and pony show last night.
I also took Allahpundit to task on his choice of words in a article he wrote, and in usual cowardly fashion, he deleted my trackback.
I also mentioned this week, that a blogger couple needs help.
I reported that Detroit’s Mayor, Kwame Kilpatrick will stand trial for shoving a Wayne County officer. Who was just doing his job.
Howard Dean is an idiot, as always.
John McCain is not far behind himself.
I laid the smackdown on WorldNetDaily for their blantant stupidity.
I also condemned Rush Limbaugh for his rather idiotic remarks about John Edward’s wife.
…and that’s it for this Round up!

John McCain needs to brush up on his history
Via Think Progress
Well, he’s right, if forget the Gulf War, and Somalia, and the Rwandan Genocide, and the earlier war in Georgia, and the breakup of Yugoslavia and all the wars that spawned, and 9/11, and Afghanistan, and Iraq and North Korean nuclear testing, and the war in Lebanon, and Darfur.
Then again, what do you expect from a 70-something year old man?

You see, I do, what Malkin, Hannity, Limbaugh and rest of these Fox Noise hosebags won’t do.

I mean, Bush essentially went out and said… “Bad Russia, Bad!” But offered absolutely no repercussions, if Russia continued to attack Georgia. No threats of invasion, nothing.

Russia warns of push into Georgia, The United States Government does nothing…
You know, I am going to say a few things about this, and I am most likely am going to be accused of either being a Bush-hater or a Neo-Conservative and Possibly even a Neo-Libertarian or even the highest honor of all, a Chickenhawk… But this crap needs to be said.
The Story: Officials: Russia warns of push into Georgia – (Via CNN.com)
Russian troops have warned they intend to push further into western Georgia, Georgian officials claimed Sunday as an increasingly violent territorial dispute in the former Soviet state threatened to spiral into a major international conflict.
The apparent move came after Georgian troops began withdrawing from South Ossetia, a breakaway region where military action by Tbilisi last week triggered a full scale military clash with Russia that some say has left hundreds dead.
Russia’s military action — which Moscow claims is a legitimate peacekeeping mission in response to Georgian aggression — has provoked criticism from the U.S., which Sunday condemned it as “disproportionate.”
Growing concerns over the conflict have threatened to spill over Georgia’s borders with Ukraine Sunday saying it might ban Russia’s fleet from Crimea bases after it mobilized off the coast of Abkhazia, another breakaway region.
Analysts say Russia is trying to assert its authority in the former Soviet Union territories, where it claims many people have greater allegiance to Moscow than to Western-leaning Tbilisi, a U.S. ally vying for NATO membership.
Violence has escalated over several days with claims of war planes shot down on either side and accusations of civilian casualties in bombing raids. Russia has claimed up to 2,000 people have died. Georgia puts the figure much lower.
As Russian troops took control in South Ossetia, the breakaway province where long-running tensions exploded into conflict last Thursday, the dispute threatened to open up on a second front Sunday.
Georgian Interior Ministry spokesman Shota Utiashvili said Russian forces plan to move into the city of Zugdidi, which is beyond the border of the second Georgian restive province of Abkhazia.
White House Deputy National Security Advisor Jim Jeffrey said the United States was urgently looking into the report, saying that it would be a very serious escalation for Russia to move into Georgia beyond the Abkhazia region.
My questions are this:
- Where the hell is our damned President!?!?!?
- Why isn’t President Bush telling Russia to either back off of Georgia or face a full scale attack by the United States and it’s allies?
- Why is Bush over in a damned communist foreign country and being mettlesome in their affairs?
- Could it be that he is more interested in playing “Kissy Face” to the Chinese government, so they will send us more money? Than he is helping defend a small country being picked on by a communist oppressor?
I’m sorry folks, but this truly does tweak me off. Why is our President more interested in playing “Kissy Kissy” bunch of Communists, Than he is making sure the peace and stability of the Georgia – Russian region is not preserved?
If I were President of the United States, I would make a public announcement that Russia had 48 hours to withdraw all forces from the region of Georgia or they would face a full scale air assault from the United States and it’s allies, and face a ground assault from the allied forces. I believe that it is high time, that the United States of America has finally defeated that totalitarian communist regime, once and for all. Sorry, I do not buy the epic lie that the Country of Russia is a free society, that my friends, is a smokescreen and a lie to fool the rest of the world.
Well, Mr. President, what is it going to be, action or cowardice?
Update: Since I posted this, a video has surfaced on the net, explaining what is really going on in Russia. Click here to watch it.

World News: Georgia Pulls Troops out of South Ossetia
Man, I hope this resolves this conflict or starts the resolving of it.
Via BBC NEWS – Europe:
Georgia says its troops have withdrawn from the breakaway region of South Ossetia and that Russian forces are in control of its capital, Tskhinvali.
A government spokesman told the BBC it was not a military defeat but a necessary step to protect civilians.
But a Russian military spokesman said Georgia had not withdrawn its forces and the situation remained tense.
The US described Russia’s actions as “dangerous and disproportionate” and said they might affect long-term ties.
“We’re alarmed by this situation,” US Deputy National Security Adviser James Jeffrey told reporters in Beijing.
Russian PM Vladimir Putin earlier suggested it was unlikely that South Ossetia would re-integrate with the rest of Georgia, saying the country’s territorial integrity had “suffered a fatal blow”.
Hopefully, this is the beginning of the end of this conflict in that region. Although, there does seem to be a larger group of issues at hand. This might just be the step in the right direction.

The Story Via The Associated Press:
The United States urged Russia on Friday to halt aircraft and missile attacks in Georgia’s breakaway region of South Ossetia and withdraw its combat forces from Georgian territory as the situation in the former Soviet state verged on full-scale war.

And Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice called the parties involved in hopes of ending the fighting, and made plans to send a U.S. envoy to the region.
“The United States calls for an immediate cease-fire to the armed conflict in Georgia’s region of South Ossetia,” Rice said in a statement. “We call on Russia to cease attacks on Georgia by aircraft and missiles, respect Georgia’s territorial integrity and withdraw its ground combat forces from Georgian soil.
Thoughts and Prayers are with the people in that region. It is my hope and Prayer that peace will once again come to that region.
