So not all Georgian ships were sank last year? Oh well its obvious they are asking for it. Its time for the ships entering Abkhazian water to have an armed escort.

Saakashvili is trying to provoke another shooting war so he can blame Russia again and get sympathy from the US. Probably he is hoping he will get more US money, as well. He is going to force Russia to sink another Georgian ship, as part of the ongoing propaganda war. I wonder if the Turks are trying to get their sailors back. Sam, Russia destroyed a few Georgian ships last year, but the Georgians had some "friends" who gave or sold them more ships this year.

Perhaps the Russian Black Sea Fleet might send some ships to take up Abkhazia's offer of hospitality... If some Georgian navy vessels are then siezed for entering Abkhazian waters, perhaps the Georgians might rethink this policy. Of course, the Abkhazians might choose to use the vessels to enhance their own naval defence.

@ JG - what a great idea! Put the Georgian crews on a bus home, paint the ships with Abkhazian colors, and put them to work patrolling Abkhazian waters. Sounds good! Hopefully the Georgian navy has more sense than the Georgian president, and they won't get themselves sunk.
