UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - The United States suggested on Sunday that Russia was interested in "regime change" in Georgia after Moscow rejected Tbilisi's offer of a cease-fire in the separatist region of South Ossetia.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov had told U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice that the president of Georgia "must go," the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Zalmay Khalilzad, told the Security Council.
Khalilzad then looked straight at Russian Ambassador Vitaly Churkin and asked if Moscow was looking for "regime change."

“Russian [military]” and “protecting civilian population” are really words that shouldn’t be found in the same sentence, unless it also includes “fail” or “disregard.”
If it is so normal and wholesome for a 60 year old man to pat a 20 year old's butt in public go post these pics on the "dose" thread.
Heck for that matter post them on the bulletin board at church and down at the grade school.
Now, now, he didn’t patt her on the butt. Don’t get excited.
If South Ossetia does not want to be part of Georgia, then it is perfectly okay for the Russians to step in and protect their independence.
I may be outside of the normal FR posts here, but this is the kind of freedom we were preaching for other break-away republics from the Soviet Union and Russia.
They have apparently been independent since 1991 and Georgia attacked them first.
I believe the righteous position is to side with the South Ossetian people here against Georgia.
In any event, the world will be a more peaceful place if we just let break-away regions break-away and become independent states. You can’t force people to live together and if they don’t want to, just separate them and things will be fine.
The world is an economically integrated unit now, NOT a politically integrated one.
“Get lost Newbie. “
You sounds like a lussy Liberal.
Can you answer me a simple question?
Why Georgian can live in Georgia and ossetians cannot live in Ossetia?
And why Georgia wants Osetia to be Georgia,when ossetians doesn`t want to be Georgian? They wants to be Osetians.
And again.
Ossetian has no problem with Georgians living in Georgia so why Georgians so upset about ossetians living in Ossetia?
Nice try.
You stupid Russkies are really screwing yourselves here and furthering the cause of Chechnya independence.
Thanks. Yours was pathetic. Embarrassing, even.
And Obama ain't man enough to do it.
We need to arm these patriotic Georgians the same as we helped the Afghans in the early ‘80’s. Let Putin taste some significant Russian blood.
If you had read my posting history over the past 72 hours you would have seen I am defending Georgia. Yet- you attacked me and my posts.
What side are you on?
Either way, you have a strange way to make "friends."
Feel free to resume entertaining yourself.
“We need to arm these patriotic Georgians the same as we helped the Afghans in the early ‘80’s. Let Putin taste some significant Russian blood.”
LOL, you are right on with that sentiment. Those contingency plans are on the board and can be implemented easily. If Russia pushes this, they will be implemented, to include Chechnyan attacks inside of Russia. The Serbs will also get some too.
Well, Monica wasn't much older than Chelsea...
Thanks again. It’ll be great to go back to discussing the current war, instead of one from ten years ago that has little bearing on the discussion.
Your photographs are being removed because they were taken by an AP photographer. AP images are shot on sight, and AP articles must be excerpted. You are not being persecuted. And you should know better.
That certainly puts the picture in a different context. Bikini clad Volley ball player babes ask for a pat on the butt for good luck. President Bush, instead pats them on the back -- photo snap -- upset posters, the whole thing.
The poster told you that the President didn't pat the babe on the butt. So what exactly is your problem?
