John Beyrle: Russia provides adequate response to Georgia`s aggression against S. Ossetia
Russia provided an adequate response to Georgia`s aggression against civilians in South Ossetia and Russian peacekeepers staying in the area, U.S. ambassador to Moscow John Beyrle told in an interview with the ‘Kommersant’ daily. According to Mr. Beyrle, Washington had repeatedly warned Georgia against the use of force in South Ossetia. The ambassador emphasized that the six-principle Medvedev-Sarkozy plan should be strictly observed by all the sides involved and added that it would be better if Georgia`s territorial integrity was respected. However, Mr. Beyrle said, the conflict cannot be settled without taking into account the right of the peoples of South Ossetia and Abkhazia on self-determination. Mr. Beyrle welcomes Russia`s WTO membership and opposes the country`s isolation on the international level.

I don’t think Rice will be very happy with him.

 Maybe McCain should have read that too,

"Presidential hopeful John McCain gave a speech Monday condemning what he termed "Russian aggression" in its conflict with the independent country of Georgia, a one-time Soviet state. McCain also suggested that high-level diplomacy by the president, as well as action by the UN and NATO, should be used to resolve the crisis.

"Russian aggression against Georgia is both a matter of urgent moral and strategic importance to the United States of America," McCain said at an event in Erie, Pennsylvania."

"Georgia`s aggression against civilians in South Ossetia " If this is the truth, then
Russia has every right to do what they did. But is it really the truth??

Panos, your source here is one of the Russian papers' that were spewing metric tons' of BS about 'genocide' and 'over 2000 civilian casualties in Ossetia'. I really doubt that's what Mr. Beyrle said at all, because it would contradict everything else that has publicly come out in the rest of the press. If he did say it, He'll lose his job faster than Neville Chamberlain did. If he didn't, this is just proof of more of the Russian people's aspiration to move us all back in time to the good ol' days when you went to bed at night, wondering if you were gonna get vaporized in your sleep.

According to UPI he said...

The U.S. Ambassador to Russia John Beyrle told the Russian business daily Kommersant Georgia had been urged not to launch an attack but that Russia responded in a "legitimate" way. He said, however, Russia went too far in its military incursion, the reports said.

Funny how the "went too far" bit was ommitted.
