Russian armored vehicles moved eastward from the town to a point about 30 miles from the capital, Tbilisi, and plowed aside Georgian police vehicles at a checkpoint.

Perhaps the Russians just aren't as good and practiced at withdrawal as we British are.

Doh, keep up. Beyond a certain distance from Tbilisi, they miraculously turn into "peacekeepers".

We get so used to the silence from the Left on the old Communist orders throwing their weight around and then Littlejohn comes along and in plain English spells out the Olympian hypocrisy of the silence on the part of these people who now form our Establishment.

All political power is derived ultimately from force. The problem is our political class still believes in the lyrics of those 1960s pop songs they remember from their youth.
