Georgians still hoping that U.S. military will arrive

By Tom Lasseter | McClatchy Newspapers


TBILISI, Georgia — Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on Friday persuaded Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili to sign a cease-fire agreement calling for Russian tanks to withdraw from much of the country.

President Bush, meanwhile, scolded Russian leaders for continuing to occupy Georgian territory and promised that citizens of this country won't be forgotten.

But in refugee centers across Tbilisi, men and women who'd fled their burning villages wanted to know when the support would move beyond words. They wanted to know when the Americans, or perhaps the Europeans, were coming to save them.

3. That's the view
from under the bus. Pretty sad. Bush doesn't know what to do. That's why the Georgians are in the mess now. Another country wasted by Bush.
