If true, the new reports of attacks on the Georgian capital would seriously change the nature and scope of the Russian action in Georgia.

::::::::

"TBILISI, Georgia (AP) - Russia expanded its bombing blitz to the Georgian capital, deployed ships off the coast and, a Georgian official said, sent tanks from the separatist region of South Ossetia into Georgian territory, heading toward a border city before being turned back Sunday."

This is an ominous turn of events.  Peace voices should cry out for an immediate ceasefire all around.  Certainly Russia should be condemned for any actions beyond defense of the Georgian attack on South Ossetians.
