Biden, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations committee, said he had been asked to go to Georgia by President Mikheil Saakashvili for talks over the conflict with Russia.

"I am going to Georgia this weekend to get the facts first-hand and to show my support for Georgia's people and its democratically-elected government," said Biden in a statement.

I'm getting real confused. I thought the conventional wisdom was that Georgia instigated this crisis at the urging of Bush/Cheney, Rice and Rove, to prop up McCain. I wonder where Obama's foreign policy adviser, Zbigniew Brzezinski, stands on this whole issue? Didn't he used to be a real hardliner on Russia? And how do any of these statements differ from the Administration's line?
