"The decision was a timely payback for the former Soviet republic that has been a staunch U.S. supporter and agreed to send troops to Iraq as part of the U.S.-led coalition."

Rather sad comment on the commitment of the US to Georgia...these returning soldiers will in all likelihood be killed or imprisoned.

"We want to thank them for the great support they've given the coalition and we wish them well," military spokesman Rear Adm. Patrick Driscoll said earlier Sunday at a news conference"

Good gosh...we wish them well? They have stood in harms way beside us hen we called for help and now we fly them back and to their country that is being over-run and...we wish them well?

My guess is that this is a quote from an exit ceremony of some type or a press conference regarding the same.

Those Gerogians did one hell of a lot more than, "wish us well", when we called for their help.

I wish to God that we had the plan in place and were executing it as we speak to give these soldiers the kind of support and help they really need to save their free country.

I'm afraid things are happening so quickly these Georgian troops may not have a safe place to land when they come home. Sad.
