WASHINGTON (AP)- Vice President Dick Cheney says Russia's
military actions in Georgia "must not go unanswered.''

Cheney spoke Sunday afternoon with Georgian President Mikheil
Saakashvili. "The vice president expressed the United States'
solidarity with the Georgian people and their democratically
elected government in the face of this threat to Georgia's
sovereignty and territorial integrity,'' Cheney's press secretary,
Lee Ann McBride, said.

Cheney 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,'' McBride said.
