“I strongly condemn the outbreak of violence in Georgia, and urge an immediate end to armed conflict. Now is the time for Georgia and Russia to show restraint, and to avoid an escalation to full scale war. Georgia’s territorial integrity must be respected. All sides should enter into direct talks on behalf of stability in Georgia, and the United States, the United Nations Security Council, and the international community should fully support a peaceful resolution to this crisis.”
Certainly not as strongly worded as McCain's, but it, like McCain's, calls for the Russians to withdraw. Nowhere in this statement does he suggest that the Georgian's aren't victims here. Perhaps Calgaryborn saw a different statement, or perhaps he's reading something different into this one.
