What a great wonder, that who has jeopardized global peace and attempted to break sovereignty of several countries i.e. specifically Iraq & Afghanistan etc in the world, talk about the sovereignty of Georgia
Bush throws support behind Georgia
WASHINGTON: U.S. President George W. Bush Wednesday demanded Russian troops leave Georgia as he dispatched Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to the country in a strong show of support for his pro-West ally.
"The United States of America stands with the democratically elected government of Georgia, insists that the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Georgia be respected," Bush said in a brief White House statement.
Standing with Rice and US Defense Secretary Robert Gates at his side in the White House Rose Garden, he scolded Moscow for its attacks on Georgia and warned it had put Russia's post-Cold War embrace by the West "at risk."
"To begin to repair the damage to its relations with the United States, Europe, and other nations, and to begin restoring its place in the world, Russia must keep its word and act to end this crisis," he demanded.
Bush said he had reports of Russian actions "inconsistent" with Moscow's statements that it had halted military operations and agreed to a French-brokered provisional ceasefire in the Russian-Georgian conflict.
"We expect Russia to meet its commitment to cease all military activities in Georgia, and we expect all Russian forces that entered Georgia in recent days to withdraw from that country," he warned.
