Danger Will Robinson...danger! Why am I not feeling so good after reading the comments from the Col. General?

"In Moscow, Col. Gen. Anatoly Nogovitsyn, deputy head of Russia's General Staff, told reporters at a regular briefing that Russian forces have started the process of leaving Georgia proper as part of a French-backed cease-fire deal signed over the weekend by both Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev.

"The pullout of peacekeeping forces started today," Nogovitsyn said, according to the Associated Press. "Once we understood that no threat was perceived out of there [in the key central Georgia city of Gori], "we started withdrawing troops from today."

But he immediately hedged his statement.

"I would like to distinguish two notions: the notion of withdrawal and that of pullout," he said. "So in a telephone conversation between our president and French President [ Nicolas] Sarkozy, they spoke only about the pullout. I hope you notice the subtlety. We are not talking about withdrawal here."
