Well, on paper, this looks like a good sign that the bloodshed should end in Georgia but this article here at Breitbart hints to some of the ambiguity of the cease-fire that Russian President Mededev just signed today. Here's the brief article, in its entirety:
And in my mind, when the Georgians signed their part of this for Secretary of State Rice, they basically gave up on any idea that the Russians would ever leave any of the conquered land. And in my mind, this will leave an explosive situation as it won't be long until you see some shots fired from both sides that will lead to new fighting.
Russian president signs Georgia cease-fire dealI think more controversial than the grey area of whether Georgia can send troops into South Ossetia, is this "limited patrols" by the Russians. It seems to me that anytime the Russians want to fabricate a disturbance in some area, they can move into that area.
MOSCOW (AP) - The Kremlin says Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has signed the plan for a cease-fire in Georgia.
The move comes a day after Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili signed the plan that calls for Russian troops to pull back, but that also grants them limited patrols inside Georgia.
Medvedev spokesman Alexei Pavlov says the president signed the order Saturday, but did not give further details.
The plan appears to leave some tense issues open to interpretation. They include whether Georgia will be able to send troops back into parts of South Ossetia, the separatist republic where massive fighting erupted last week.
