Where's Obama's statement on Georgia?

I just spoke separately with Secretary Rice and President Saakashvili about the grave crisis in Georgia. I told President Saakashvili that I was deeply concerned about the well-being of the people of Georgia.

Over the last two days, Russia has escalated the crisis in Georgia through it’s clear and continued violation of Georgia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. On Friday, August 8, Russian military forces invaded Georgia. I condemn Russia’s aggressive actions and reiterate my call for an immediate ceasefire. Russia must stop its bombing campaign, cease flights of Russian aircraft in Georgian airspace, and withdraw its ground forces from Georgia. Both sides should allow humanitarian assistance to reach civilians in need. Russia also must end its cyber war against Georgian government websites. Georgia’s territorial integrity must be respected.

As I have said for many months, aggressive diplomatic action must be taken to reach a political resolution to this crisis, and to assure that Georgia’s sovereignty is protected. Diplomats at the highest levels from the United States, the European Union, and the United Nations must become directly involved in mediating this military conflict and beginning a process to resolve the political disputes over the territories of South Ossetia and Abkhazia. A genuinely neutral mediator – not the Russian government – must begin a process of negotiations immediately.

The situation in Georgia also requires the deployment of genuine international peacekeeping forces in South Ossetia and Abkhazia. The current escalation of military conflict resulted in part from the lack of a neutral and effective peacekeeping force operating under an appropriate UN mandate. Russia cannot play a constructive role as peacekeeper. Instead, Russian actions in both South Ossetia and Abkhazia appear to be intended to preserve an unstable status quo.

Here's another article on McCain vs. Obama on Georgia;

Is that Georgia attacked Russian peacekeepers in South Ossetia and killed the commander.

Russia counter-attacked and now Georgia, and everyone else, is crying foul.

McCain is salivating at intervening to Georgia's defense... Imagine the cold war, back again!

But my true belief is that George played with fire and now they are getting burned by the Russians. The Russians, of course, could be a bit less forceful with their attacks and focus more on obvious military targets...

given the crazy bastard's desire to get his war freak on!

we should just be demanding an immediate cease-fire on both sides, offering to intervene diplomatically (I think we have an envoy going there), and otherwise staying somewhat neutral.

When will it end?
