Russian tanks roared deep into Georgia on Monday, launching a new western front in the conflict, and Russian planes staged air raids that sent people screaming and fleeing for cover in some towns.
The escalating warfare brought sharp words from President Bush, who pressed Moscow to accept an immediate cease-fire and pull its troops out to avert a “dramatic and brutal escalation” of violence in the former Soviet republic. And the President called the invasion “unacceptable”.
Now here is a great idea!
President Mikheil Saakashvili urged his Western allies to provide more than just moral support and aid to confront Russia in Georgia’s conflict over the separatist region of South Ossetia
“So far we have got from them moral support and humanitarian aid, but we need more than that to stop this barbaric aggression,” he said in a televised address.
Are you kidding me? A president that invaded 2 countries accusing another country of acting in an unacceptable manner. Am I the only one that sees that as a bit of a hypocritical stance?
