georgian army is the same...

They only can fight civilians...

The problem only is Russia don't want to go deeper into georgian territory, but the georgian terroristic army is still fireing at S.Ossetia from the artillery..

So they need to have some safe zone around S.Ossetia to keep civilians safe.

georgian troops saw the russian and are running away(from CNN):

From the flashpoint South Ossetia, the Russian military moved south toward the central Georgia city of Gori, Georgia said. Russia said its troops were on the outskirts of the city.

A CNN crew in Gori saw Georgian forces piling into trucks and leaving the city at HIGH SPEED.

CNN saw thousands of troops driving out of the city, as well as thousands of civilians traveling by convoy from Gori toward Tbilisi.

So, the answer is:

"Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has ordered an end to the military operation in Georgia. He said the objective - “to compel Georgia to peace” - has been achieved. Medvedev also ordered the Russian military to “eliminate the aggressor” in the event of Georgian forces resuming hostilities."

Georgia wont be able to keep fighting with Russia and it never could, but if  there are little countries with little nation and military force, does this fact ALLOW any bigger country to occupy the little one?!
