UPDATE 1: US Embassy is evacuating to Yerevan in Armenia on August 10th and again on the 11th. Urges Americans in the region to join them.
UPDATE 2: Russian jets have dropped three bombs on the Airport in Tbilisi. Russian troops are building up in Georgia, a long with tanks. Some been delivered by sea. According to Georgian government officials, they are waiting until Dawn to attack.
UPDATE 3: Reuters given more reports Russian troop levels - 6,000 troops have been moved in Georgia, 2,000 more coming by Sea. A total of 8,000 troops moving into Georgia. Russia is still claiming 2,000 civilians have died, other sources, including Putin has said that is lower. Despite that its still be quoted at the UN. The death toll of civilians is still mainly unknown.
UPDATE 4: Georgian official was wrong, it was a military airfield hit not the International Airport
"Three bombs were dropped on a military airfield belonging to Tbilaviastroi plant. There were no casualties," Shota Utiashvili, the head of the Georgian Interior Ministry's information department, told Reuters.
The plant use to make Su-25s during the Soviet union, now they might be attacking it.
UPDATE 5: 4,000 troops now coming in by sea according to Reuters AlertNet I would take a guess to say the dawn attack is happening now, or very soon.
UPDATE 5: BBC saying they can't get independent confirmation of any details but a gov't official has said there are no Georgian troops on South Ossetian land. This is one of the Russian demands. My speculation is that the Russian troops are to sure South Ossetia.
