| First US aid plane arrives in Georgia |
| 2008-08-13 |
| The first of C-17 planes carrying humanitarian supplies has arrived in Tbilisi, Georgia, White House Press Secretary Dana Perino said Wednesday. Another is scheduled to arrive tomorrow with additional supplies. Also Wednesday, President Bush said he is skeptical that Moscow is honoring a cease-fire in neighboring Georgia, demanding that Russia end all military activities in the former Soviet republic and withdraw all its forces. Bush, who pushed back his upcoming vacation to monitor the situation in Georgia, said Russia must ensure that "all lines of communication and transport, including seaports, roads and airports," remain open to let deliveries and civilians through. |

| #4 Wonder if there are any trade pubs reporting industry orders of man-portable weapons? Orders probably running high from the GWOT, but I expect there may be a spike in orders due to reduced inventories this week. |
