Cheney slams Russia for war against Georgia
In a speech today in the war-ravaged nation of Georgia, U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney condemned Russia for what he called an “illegitimate, unilateral attempt” to redraw this U.S. ally’s borders by force.
Speaking during a closely watched trip to this strategic South Caucasus nation, Cheney also said the United States was “fully committed” to Georgian efforts to join NATO.
“Georgia will be in our alliance,” Cheney told reporters while standing alongside Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili.
A longtime critic of Russia, Cheney was visiting Georgia and two other ex-Soviet republics — Azerbaijan and Ukraine — that are nervous about Moscow’s intentions.
