"Bush demands Russia remove troops from Georgia" by Jennifer Loven, Associated Press Writer | August 13, 2008
WASHINGTON --President Bush put the U.S. more firmly than ever on Georgia's side in its conflict with Russia on Wednesday, sending humanitarian aid on American military planes to help the embattled ex-Soviet republic and displaying growing impatience with Moscow's aggression.
Six days into the fighting in the tiny, impoverished country wedged between Russia and Turkey on the Black Sea, Bush said Moscow's apparent violation of a cease-fire agreement puts its aspirations for global acceptance at risk. In brief but stern remarks from the White House, the president demanded that Russia end all military activity inside its neighbor and withdraw all troops sent in recent days into Georgian territory.
Amid some fear that Russian troops may be setting up for some type of medium-term occupation of parts of Georgia or even have intentions to press on to its capital of Tbilisi, Bush promised to "rally the free world in the defense of a free Georgia."
I really, really don't like the sound of that type of shit!
Bush also gave repeated and unqualified assurances of "America's unwavering support for Georgia's democratic government."
He announced that U.S. military assets and personnel would be deploying into the conflict zone. Though they are only going on a humanitarian mission, Bush made a point of noting that "we will use U.S. aircraft, as well as naval forces" to distribute supplies. He warned Russia not to impede relief efforts in any way.
Oh, man, ONE MISTAKE and BOOM -- this thing could BLOW UP BIG-TIME!!
For the first time in a long time, I am really, really afraid.
The crisis erupted last week when Georgia tried to secure control over South Ossetia.
Oh, now they didn't even attack, they didn't invade, they tried to "secure control!!!
That does it!!!! I'm done!!!!
I can't take these lies no more!!!
Maybe you can. We give you that opportunity.
--more--"
