The Russians are supposedly leaving Gori, as the Georgian police take over. Five bomb explosions were heard today. Three more Russian tanks rolled into the area, but Russia says, the tanks are helping to clean up the area. How do tanks clean up an area? Secretary Condolezza Rice will be traveling to France to meet with President Sarkosky, who brokered the truce. Secretary Rice will then travel to Georgia in a show of U. S. support.
