Ron Paul: US in Georgia to protect a pipeline
Press TV
September 11, 2008
US Congressman Ron Paul says the United States is in Georgia not for democracy but to protect an oil pipeline bypassing Russia.
“We are not for democracy there – we are there to protect a pipeline. And that is tragic for me,” he said.
The remarks came as the US Senate Committee on Armed Services held a hearing to cast Moscow as an aggressor in the 5-day conflict in the Caucasus region but a rift among the members hampered decision making.
Another US congressman has accused Georgia of triggering the conflict despite the Bush administration’s taking side with Tbilisi.
