rg.ru from September 10, 2008
Print version

 

At the hearings in the U.S. Congress on the situation in Georgia, deputy chairman of Subcommittee on International Organizations Dana Rorbaher reported that U.S. intelligence confirms: armed conflict in South Ossetia was initiated by Georgia.

"Russian law, as we - none. Georgia is the beginning, and put an end to Russian" - he said.

In turn, chairman of subcommittee on foreign organizations the U.S. House of Representatives, Congress-Democrat Congressman Bill Delahant said that one-sided information about the situation around South Ossetia, which receive the Americans, including congressmen, leads to the fact that the U.S. engaged in constant attacks on Russia.

"Here there is imbalanced perspective, and for me it sounds like a very harassment Russia" - said Congressman, according to which "the American people and U.S. members of Congress do not receive fair and balanced picture".

Speaking Tuesday at a hearing in Congress on the situation in Georgia, Delahant reported that American legislators provided information about what's happening around South Ossetia "a lot of black and white description" and that Georgia and its President Mikhail Saakashvili served only in a positive light.

Recalling that in the U.S. all the time called Russia an aggressor, Delahant expressed surprise at the fact that, for the actions of the Georgian side is "looking as a desire simply wished away line that they made a mistake, that it was a tactical error by brute Georgia ".

"At the same time, reports from South Ossetia, you read that people have been killed and corpses that are not clear, because the fear was that if civilians come into the street, Georgian soldiers kill them," - said Congress Subcommittee .

Congressman-Democrat from Texas Sheila Jackson Lee described the actions of White House anti-Russian and U.S. interests vredyaschimi. "Our friends in Russia for us is no less important than friends in Georgia. You must find a balance" - she expressed their views. A chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the House of Representatives Howard Berman of the U.S. Congress called the actions of Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili's "brutal and terrible mistake."
