<b>Mobilization in Abkhazia</b>

Abkhazian President Sergei Bagapsh announced on Friday the partial mobilization of the de facto independent republic's military, citing fears that Georgian troops could cross over into the breakaway region.

"We are coming out with an appropriate response to action on the part of Georgia, which is concentrating its armed forces on the border with Abkhazia," Bagapsh said.

According to information sources in Sokhumi, a mobilization has been announced in Abkhazia. A correspondent statement was done by Abkhazian President Sergey Bagapsh on Friday evening. Bagapsh motivated this as an answer to current situation on the border with Georgia.

Abkhazian officials say that Georgian military forces are relocated in direction of the Abkhazian-Georgian border, but the first detachments have been brought there on Tuesday.

On Friday war maneuvers began in Abkhazia.

Chairman of Russia's Central Election Commission Vladimir Churov dismissed the note of protest from the Georgian Foreign Ministry, over voting in the Russian presidential election in Abkhazia and South Ossetia.

Some 80 percent of Abkhazia's residents have Russian citizenship. The voting stations are opened on the premises of military sanatoria and other facilities belonging to the Russian Federation.

"Abkhazian's are voting in <b>our</b> presidential elections and Russian troops are guaranteeing the peace and borders of Abkhazia. We wave our private parts in Georgia's general direction. What ya gonna do about it, eh?"

According to Washington and its loyalists Abkhazians and Ossetians do not have any rights to self-determination but Kosovo Albanians and of course Chechens do. By using the word "special" any sort of legal principles and logic are rendered irrelevant.

Funny how the US is making pronouncements about Kosovo's territorial integrity. Clearly Washington has deemed itself to be above the UN and any of the existing treaties that underpin any sort of international legality. I guess all those nutbar militias can disband now, there is no chance of the UN taking away America's freedom to try to rule the world.

The US can "declare" whatever it wants. Unfortunately, the US can no longer get it up, and can now only watch and talk about the past. US bluster is now meaningless as we fight just to stay afloat. The true impotence of the US will shortly become apparent. Unfortunately, that means hard economic times for those of us who live here; to the point of our very survival I'm afraid. I'm afraid the implosion will be totally devastating.

You might want to ask the Japanese about writing off the United States.

You might want to ask the Japanese about writing off the United States.

Who said that USA is written off? He said that USA can't get it up anymore. You disagree?

[Cloud9]

Yes, I disagree.
