..may have been misplaced. Press reports as discussed in previous posts are contridictory and confusing.
Whilst the BBC home page is reporting that Georgian troops are pulling out of South Ossetia the word on the ground in Tbilisi is that this appears to be more of a withdrawl from the area around the South Ossetian capital Tskinvali. Read tactical retreat.
The fact that the Georgians seem to have abandoned any hope of taking Tskinvali for the time being does not appear to be translating into an end of hostilities.
A BBC Russia reporter covering a statement by an Ambassodor by the building I'm writing from told me that the press centre in Gori has been evacuated, due to fears of further Russian airstrikes.
More as it comes in.
