Russia claims to sink Georgian ship in Black Sea!
TBILISI, Georgia - Russian news agencies say the Defense Ministry is claiming to have sunk a Georgian missile boat that was trying to attack Russian navy ships in the Black Sea.

If confirmed, the incident could mark a serious escalation of the fighting between Russia and Georgia over the separatist Georgian province of South Ossetia.

---------------------

There are also unconfirmed reports that Russian tanks are advancing towards the town of Gori which is located outside the breakaway province.

I am not sure what Russia is up to now. :think:

1. Bush is weak to allow Russia to do this.

2. Russia can do whatever it wants.
Not sure how Bush or anyone else can stop them.
