Medvedev Condemns U.S. Use of Navy to Send Aid to Georgia By Lyubov Pronina and Maria Ermakova Sept. 6 (Bloomberg) -- Russian President Dmitry Medvedev condemned the U.S. navy's delivery of humanitarian aid to Georgia and accused the U.S. of rearming the country following last month's five-day war between the two former Soviet nations. "The armament of the Georgian regime continues, including under the flag of humanitarian aid," Medvedev said to Russian regional governors today in Moscow. "It would be interesting to see how they would feel if our fleet sent humanitarian aid to the countries of the Caribbean that recently suffered a devastating hurricane." The USS Mount Whitney yesterday sailed to Georgia's Black Sea port of Poti with a cargo of relief supplies, anchoring about 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) from a post manned by Russian troops. Russia recognized the independence of South Ossetia and Abkhazia on Aug. 26 after fighting with Georgia over the breakaway regions. "Russia is a state that will be reckoned with in the future," Medvedev said of the conflict. "Confrontation is not our choice. Russia will not allow anyone to encroach on the lives and dignity of its citizens." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:268254 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
