US To Russia: Leave Georgia "Now"
Reuters:
TBILISI - Russia began pulling tanks and troops back over its frontier, pledging all forces would quit Georgia's heartland by Friday night, but the United States demanded it leave "now."
In some of Washington's toughest comments to date, the White House declared Russia in violation of its commitments to leave the territory of Georgia after routing Georgian forces in a war that erupted two weeks ago.
White House spokesman Gordon Johndroe said he could not imagine a circumstance in which the United States would engage in military-to-military cooperation with Moscow until the Georgia situation was resolved.
