Cheney - Russian aggression must not go unanswered. Many agree, however what measure of response will The U.S. consider.

U.S. President George Bush says the Russian military has launched a disproportionate response to Georgia, the former Soviet republic trying to reclaim the disputed territory of South Ossetia.

In an interview with NBC, Bush said that “we strongly condemn the bombing outside of South Ossetia,” and shared his concerns with Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin and President Dmitri Medvedev.

Meanwhile, U.S. Vice-President Dick Cheney said late Sunday that Russia’s military action against Georgia “must not go unanswered,” as the conflict over the disputed territory continued to escalate.

Cheney made his remarks while speaking with Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili. The United States has historically given its support to Georgia, which has been lobbying for inclusion in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.

According to Cheney’s press secretary, Lee Ann McBride, he told Saakashvili: “Russian aggression must not go unanswered, and that its continuation would have serious consequences for its relations with the United States, as well as the broader international community.”
