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.

Insert a different conflict, and it almost seems like an automated response.
Obama has to do better than that.
