Thirty-six humanitarian-assistance flights by C-17, C-130 and other U.S. military cargo aircraft have delivered more than a million pounds of material to Tbilisi, according to U.S. European Command, whose four-star commander Bantz Craddock is in Tbilisi.
More is on the way via a U.S. Coast Guard cutter from Crete and two Navy warships, one due to arrive this weekend and the rest next week. I suppose this, alone, will prevent the Russians from cannonading Tbilisi, although that remains to be seen. It hasn’t impeded the Russian sowing of cluster bomblets across some farm fields, however. The bomblets were designed for massed infantry, not for children and farmers, so why did we also use them in Afghanistan? We plainly shouldn’t have.
